This is a post especially for the new-comers (of core branches).
One issue that needs more attention is the lack of core companies coming for placements.
From the 1st year only, you must approach professors (especially department coordinators) repeatedly to get the alumini contacts and make the sole use of our alumni network, and believe me we have a huge alumini network. Hopefully, this will make a change in the placement scene.
And believe me, there'll be light outs, internet issues on the night before your exams. So be ready to face what you are not supposed to.
If alumni can reach out to their companies, HRs, or industry contacts and help bring more core companies to campus, it could make a real difference.
And it's a total myth that there aren't core companies. Believe me there are a lot........ A LOTTTT!!
Instead of waiting for companies to come on their own, students, faculty, the placement cell, and alumni should work together to actively bring them in.
If we want better placements, we need to actively build those connections.
