Guidance for Future Placements

Based on the data and trends from recent years, several recommendations can be made to students preparing for their placements at VIT:

CGPA is crucial. If you have a CGPA of at least 9, you are likely to be shortlisted by many companies. DS sa practice as early as possible during your third year. This is critical for demonstrating your technical skills. Ensure you have a strong foundation in core subjects like Operating Systems (OS), Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), Database Management Systems (DBMS), and Networks and Communication. Highlight your projects on your resume, particularly those you have led personally. Be prepared to discuss these in detail during interviews. Create a concise and focused one-page resume that emphasizes projects and extracurricular activities. Work hard and enjoy college life — both contribute to your overall development and employability. Prepare an effective self-introduction. You can watch interview experiences on YouTube or read about them on GeeksforGeeks.

Stay confident and patient. Initial rejections are common, but perseverance will pay off. The job offers that you deserve will come to you.

Stay positive and keep a steady pace through the entire placement process. Best of luck to the upcoming graduates!
