It is that season of the academic year that students eagerly expect; and quite commonly one that professors are usually resentful - Placement....
Past few days were a countdown sequence to the start of the interviews - the much attention grabbing Day 1 of the interviews where big shot companies compete to grab the most coveted talent of the IITs(Source: Various news sources and gossips). We had our end sems immediately followed by screening tests of few companies to lead upto today.
12:00 AM marks the start of Day 0 - one last day before the interviews; and consequently scheduled with a line-up of tests. From CS viewpoint - bigshots like Google, Microsoft, Opera, Twitter and Rocketfuel are coming on Day 1.
The last few days were eventful too - besides the tests themselves - one got to see serious preparations, planning, anticipation, expectation on the upcoming events. Personally - I was there refreshing the placement blogpage every now and then in hopes of getting shortlisted; and thats the scene in general - appreciate the people who got shortlisted, and a "Happy to see you in the club!" cheer for the ones who werent.
So finally tonight I got shortlisted for Oracle's interview; and in the spirit of which this post is coming out. Oracle is on Day 2, so Day 1 is free(actually preparation time) - Time to watch the Day 1 drama and face the music on Day 2.
Wishing all the best to all my friends and to myself :)
