We, the Student Placement Coordinators from Batch of 2020 are conduct-

ing a series of sessions for career development under the name “Placement
Mantra, by Senior Friends”. These are being hosted online from 14th June

2020 on Google Meet platform.

These sessions are aimed at providing the necessary skills and information
for the placement process and higher studies, in order to give an insight to

these career paths. Exclusive sessions are being organized for each sub-field
of the core ECE Branch as well as for other industries like the IT Sector, Busi-

ness Development, Finance, Marketing etc. Additionally, sessions are being
organized for the students aiming for various higher study programs like MS,

MTech, MBA etc. and their relevant admission procedures.

The first session of the series aimed at providing a generic overview of a

placement procedure conducted on campus. The session gave the attend-
ees a clear idea about the placement process and the DOs and DONTs. The

effects of COVID-19 on the job market were discussed thoroughly, with spe-
cial attention to the core streams. Preparation strategies and tips for written

tests and interviews were discussed in depth. Important subjects and skills
were shared along with appropriate time management strategies, keeping in

mind the existing work load from summer internship as well as the proximi-
ty of the placement season. The art of designing a resume was discussed at

length covering all the important aspects like tailoring a resume for specif-

ic companies, mentioning facts in an appropriate manner, making it catchy
and concise. Interview tips were given based upon personal experience and

the experiences during our tenure as the Student Placement Coordinators.
Everything from before entering the interview room to leaving it were dis-

cussed rigorously. Emphasis was given on knowing the projects mentioned
on the resume thoroughly. Importance of professional networking platforms
