What was your experience in placement season at IIT Ropar?

I am sharing the collective experiences of those who have witnessed IIT Ropar placements over the last few years. IIT Ropar, like any other institute, offers internship opportunities on the basis of your CGPA score but for placements, CGPA is just a cut-off criterion. Candidates are evaluated on a number of parameters by the companies that visit for placements. Some of them are

1. Analytical Abilities
2. Practical skills acquired
3. Behavior and attitude

Moreover, IT giants like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Paypal give the least preference to your CGPA. I asked my friends what they learn from their interview experiences and these are the inferences 

• "Positive Behavior and Attitude" is very important.
• Before appearing for an interview with your dream company always give lots of mock interviews or interviews in companies you are least interested
• Adopt a ‘Come what may" preparation in your core area and you will procure the maximum benefits.
• Apart from preparing technically,  it's very important to work on your communication skills.
• Adopt confidence and calm countenance, it will help you during strenuous situations.

Interviews are generally very unpredictable. So if you fail to crack a particular company, let that take the better of you. Your talents and persistence matter more than anything. Don’t let interviews be the only determining criteria of your worth!
