Placement Updates

Texas Instruments (TI) visited the Thapar Technology Campus on 24th August (Tuesday). A preliminary online test was conducted on Monday by people from Hire Pro Solutions. The level of the test was much below what you would expect from a highly reputed company like TI. I had no interest in the company after securing the Juniper internship, so I scrapped the test. I actually solved most of the questions and deliberately marked the wrong options. LOL.

The PPT was held on Tuesday. I didn’t attend it, but I heard it was not as awesome as expected. They kept talking about some product of theirs. After conducting interviews the whole day, they selected 3 students from ECE. None from CS/EIC. The rumour mill was abuzz with questions being raised about the genuineness of the selections. I tend to stay away from all that.

Nagarro visited the campus on 26th August (Thursday). Once again, I had submitted my name before Juniper so I had to sit for it. Once more, I made my way to the auditorium at 9 am in the morning, but without any enthusiasm whatsoever. Luckily, Bawa sir announced right at the start that those uninterested could withdraw, as the number of candidates was too high. And luckily, I decided not to stay for the PPT because apparently ‘the’ Nagarro, headquartered in ‘the Atlantica’, provides ‘the’ fun work environment. I will say no more.

Lovneet and Shruti got placed at Grail Research. It was sort of a job they really wanted, so I’m really happy for them!
