Advice from candidates

6 pieces of advice, in their own words. Names removed.

  • Need to revise basics of algorithms and systems courses for objective written test.For Software engineering roles, Data Structures & Algorithms are a crucial part of technical rounds. Good practice on Hackerrank/Leetcode etc., will be sufficient.

    preparation · 2020-21

  • A few common questions like Strengths/Weaknesses, career goals(where do you see yourself in 5 years, etc.), why want to join that particular company, roles, and responsibilities in projects mentioned in the resume, some challenging situations faced in projects/academics

    HR · 2020-21

  • Apart from coding preparation (Data structures and Algorithms), revising systems courses (OS, DBMS, Networks) is important.

    general · 2020-21

  • I feel Data Structures & Algorithms practice for 2-3 months(more if possible) before placement season will help a lot for most of the software engineering roles. For CSE students, revising systems courses like OS, DBMS, and Networks is also important. For non-CS, they might touch upon basics only.
