Engineering is a well known and an influential field of study. The craze for being a B.tech graduate is very commomn among students. Some take it as a privilige but for some students it is a source of knowledge and a tool for their aspiring jobs.
The final year students of engineering are of special concern because this is the time when they should be assured of good jobs in their hand. The dilemma is that students generally are fed with the names of certain leading IT companies as "TCS", "Infosys". "Wipro" , "Accenture" and so on, but the important point is how much knowledge you have and how much can you gain from these firms.
The campus placements are important because they are easy to comprehend as compared to finding jobs on the net and applying. But if one does not get the campus placements then finding jobs on firstnaukri.com , firstsalary.com , monster.com etc. is fruitful and some consultancies like elitmus , cocubes etc. are a good help.
But the name of company should not be focussed much , important is how much space the company provide you for applying your innovative ideas and knowledge to their firm for benefits and success. The big firms offer a good package but the excess load of work and no means to put up your choice and ideas frustrate the employees to a great extent.
The environment in which you work or would have to work after joining does matter a lot because a place which makes you comfortable to work keeps you calm and you start loving the place. This help you to acknowledge the place and hence put in more effort. In turn the firm also benefits.
To conclude the topic would just end with a note that things can be easily moulded according to oneself but not everywhere, so important is to make a wise choice instead of following others footstep without any sense.
