Cell Guide for 6th SEM students
First of all, you need to check out what all companies do visit
your college. Ask you seniors which all companies did visit during their time
and what was the selection procedure(including eligibility criteria as well)
because it will be almost same at you time as,so keep good rappo with your
seniors,as they are the ones who will guide you about the companies.Get the
rough estimate of companies visiting this year and in which all companies you
are eligible and start preparing according to it.
There are basically 2 types of companies visiting every
college,that is
1)Non Dream( usually Mass Recruiter) Companies
e.g Accenture,Infosys,TCS,Capgemini etc
2)Dream Companies
e.g Morgan Stanley,JP Morgan,SAP labs,Nomura etc
There are 2 types of preparation basically for Non-Dream
Companies- Basic Prep and for Dream Companies-Advanced Prep
So the Basic Prep will be
1) Aptitude
a) Quantitative Aptitude
b)Verbal Ability(dont get confused between verbal reasoning n verbal
ability,dey are different)
c)Analytical Ability/Logical Reasoning
Quant-
R.S Agarwal is more than enough
Well,one should cover all chapters of this book. No need to do all sums from
all chapters.Once your concepts gets cleared and you are sure that you will be
able to solve all kind of sums related to that topic,then you can move on to
further topics.I suggest not to follow R.S index to cover the topics...Do not
consider single at a time...always form the group of similar chapters and try
to cover that way.
Here is the formation of group of chapters which i followed -
1) Basic Chapters- 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
2) Percentage,Stock & shares etc - 10,11,13,21,22,29,32,33
3)Ratio n Proportion,chain rule etc- 12,14,20
4)Logarithm and Surds/Indices- 9,23
5)Time n Work sort of chapters- 15,16,17,18,19,26,34
6)Area-24,25
7)Calender,Clock-27,28
8)Permutation n Combination- 30,31
9) Remaining Chapters all together.
Dont ignore DI n pie chart questions even dey do come
Verbal Ability-
Verbal usually consists of RCs,syntonyms,antonyms,meaning of the
word,error finding & arranging the sentences in correct order to form a
para.
There is actually no need to prepare for this if you are good at grammer n have
good vocab..If u r nt den stdy some imp gre words and you will go through this.
Logic-
Its the most easiest section i can say. No need to prepare for
this too
Blood Relations,Deductions,conclusions,puzzles etc can be encountered here
Verbal and Logic can be prepared when you are bored of
Quant/Tech.Its for refreshing mind :p
These 2 section can be done 4rm CAT notes of TIME. They have covered
everything.
As you have short span of time,..dont focus more on the above 2
sections.
And 1 more thing...Quant and Technical should be studied
hand-in-hand.
2) Technical Interviee
i) Programming Languages-
C/java or C++/java basically 1 structured programming and 1 oop
ii)DSA
iii)DBMS
In basic prep these 3 subjects are enough n in during if its
asked ur fav subject always opt for dbms...coz u will encounter the most easy
questions in it.
Revise all projects in hand which are written in the resume..questions
are usually asked on projects so you should know in and out of the projects
HR interview-
Study your Resume well & frame question set based on your
resume and try to answer them,As all 75% questions will be based on your
resume.
Some of the FAQs asked in HR are strenghts,weakness,how will you overcome you
weakness,where you will see yourselves after 5/10 yrs,what are you career goals
etc so be prepared for such questions.
And 1 day before interview try to research about Company you are
appearing for, about their work,vision and mission,core values,locations etc
Coz they want to see how much u r interested in the company n wat all things u
know about them.
After you are done with these prep give online tests on Indiabix
jsut b4 2-3 days before co. comes.And you will also get co. papers on freshers
worls as well as on india-bix,From previous question papers you will get an
idea of pattern usually company follow in aptitude section
People usually say,questions get repeat from previous years,but personally i
have not experienced this,but there is no harm in solving them,you might be
lucky enough to get repeated ones.
Ok,So Advanced Prep will consist only of Test Series and few subject learning
like OS,Networking,SE
and test series on quant,verbal,logic,c,java,os,dsa,dbms,networking.
Non Dream companies usually do have 3 sections-
quant.verbal,logic in apti,
but dream co. include technical section too.
Technical apti consist of programming questions based on -
control stuctures,pointers,dsa based questions n few on othr subjects may be
dbms/os
In Technical Interview of Dream Co. they expect us to know
basics of all subjects studied during engg.
HR interview will be more or less same as Non-Dream co.
Some of the Dream/Non-Dream co. do have GD also...so prepare for
it according to which co. you are applying
Tips for clearing Apti
1) If there is no sectional cut-off,then the order of solving
should be
logic-> verbal->quant, as per my knowledge only accenture dont have
sectional cut-off
2)If there is no negative marking, end mein sab inky pinky ponky karke aana :p
"b/c option is lucky fr me" chk it out wch 1 is urs ;) "
3)If there is -ve marking & sectional cut-off then too follow the same
order as before and try to solve 3/4th of the total questions from each
section.dont try to solve all questions.And evn if der is -ve marking and time
is less and you hv nt covered 3/4 of the questions 4rm the remaining section
den 3-4 questions mein inky pinky ponky kar lena :p ,coz -ve marking is
negligible and clearing each section is also imp.
Tips for clearing Interviews
1) Dont be nervous,Be Confident
2) Try to be clear with your answers,whatever it may be... dont fumble
3) If you dont know the exact answer of any of his question,just say "
Sir,I dont know the exact answer but what i know is................"
4) And try to show that you are interested in their company
That's it ! Hope its useful All the Best !!!
