How to Deal with Life After Campus ?

                                          “Solution to Life After Campus “

Getting admission in engineering colleges is a dream of any ambitious student. While studying in college

Student is almost unaware of cut throat competition outside. Not aware of the Tsunami going to hit after the college.

I hope this Article may help the Students  in some positive way. Life becomes too dull, gloomy in the process of searching or getting a job in your dream company. Life becomes a bit challenging in tier 2 and

Tier 3 cities in Tier 2 / Tier 3 Engineering Colleges at times. Need to admit fact that everyone will not get admission in IITs and NITs etc. Studying in Tier 2 / Tier 3 city is something to be proud of.

Students from small cities come in the real world and conquer the world. They have dream in their eyes

And a lot of positive energy around. Most popular example I can think of is our Indian Cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. People know his achievements in his field. Similarly, there are many which can be named.I will not talk about any famous personalities, I will straight away come to the point

About dealing with “ Life after Campus”. 

ü  Pay utmost care to your projects, don’t make project just for the sake of making it. When I say utmost care it means, be involved in the complete SDLC(Software Development Life Cycle) of the project. Take help from seniors, alumni on their projects etc. Don’t repeat what the seniors have made. Always have the gist of your project ready in your interviews.

ü  Be Innovative in making projects, ask questions to yourself, why are you making it ? What are you making ? How will the project help ? What are you trying to automate and will that really help ?

This will be a bit challenging and will give you real time exposure in making a project.

ü  Get actively involved in Campus Recruiting activities, and interacting with alumni, this will give you a a lot of Exposure of Real World. Many companies come to Recruit in your college for other streams, give them your helping hand.

ü  The most important aspect where Companies do not come for campus interviews is making use of Social Media. Leveraging Social media and getting connected in various communities will be of a great Support. Get introduced to various people like Recruiters, Domain expertise etc. People will be ready to lend their support. Networking is the key.

ü  Work Part time, or get involved in an Internship program. Even work for free. This will increase your Knowledge bank , Experience in the Real World.

ü  If possible enroll for any of the training courses, which will be of additional help while appearing for interviews. Example: Get enrolled in Java, Testing,  or SAP courses etc based on your competency.

ü  Resilience and Attitude : Something which needs to be imbibed.  World is so dynamic, experience professional worked in Oracle 10 G earlier and now Oracle 11G is in practice. The attitude to “ Learns and Unlearn “ things will help you to swim in the deep end.

ü  Enhance on basic Communication: Try and watch more & more English News Channels, this will not only improve your current affairs knowledge but also enhance your English speaking

Skills. This may sound a bit silly to a few of them, but it works. Companies look for a basic

Communication skill from an Engineering student. And this will serve as an important ingredient.
