After clearing the written test, companies usually interview the candidates to gauge his/her capabilities and personality. Basically there are two kinds of interviews, the techincal one, where stress is laid on checking your fundamentals in your core subjects and the HR one , where your communication skills and personality is put to the test.

Check out the following sections for more details

• Technical Section

• Human Resources (HR) Section

• General Tips for the Interview

• Group Discussion (GD)
  

Technical Section

As we are from computers and electronics branches, so for the moment we have information regarding core subjects of these fields only. As most of the companies coming to the campuses are from the IT industry hence you may expect them to probe your computer skills regardless of your stream. Good Knowledge of C is always an added advantage.

For a computer student knowledge of C is essential. Other important topics include

• Data Structures
• Operating Systems
• Object Oriented Programming
• Networking
• Database Management
• Microprocessor Architecture, ,, Automata, Compiler Design and Computer Graphics depending upon subjects covered till the most recent semester.

Some Commonly Asked Questions
