1. Start with the top "Wh" questions

Before you dive into revising your syllabus and creating a crisp resume, start with a survey. Some of the questions to include in your survey are:

  • Which companies are visiting your college campus?
  • What is the recruitment procedure for each of these companies?
  • What is the eligibility criteria?

To get these details, you can visit your placement cell. This is a separate department dedicated for assisting students during the placement season.

2. Get back to the basics

The most important parameter for your selection process is your knowledge of the course. Start with revising subjects from your first year until the last year of your MCA degree. Avoid mugging up, and learn and understand 'for yourself.'

3. Pick a favourite subject

"Which is your favourite subject?" This is one of the most common questions during an interview. This can be application development, operating systems, or anything taught during your course. Pick a favourite topic and make sure you are prepared for any question about this subject.

4. Do not ignore the aptitude tests

Most companies conduct an aptitude test for their first round. This is when the elimination process begins. So start solving online mock tests at least 2-3 months before the test.

5. Do some research about the employer

What does the employer do? What is their USP? What makes this company unique from others? Having these answers will help recruiters understand that you not only have the course knowledge but are also genuinely looking forward to working with them.

6. Conduct a SWOT analysis

Identify your strengths, weaknesses, and threats. Keep some time aside for yourself and reflect on these points. This is also a common question, so make sure you are well-prepared.

7. Create a crisp resume

As an MCA degree fresher, your resume must include:

  • Educational qualification/ score
  • Projects
  • Certifications
  • Extra-curricular activities
  • Career objective

Make sure your resume is clean, precise and free of grammatical errors.

8. Final thoughts

Now, search and prepare for the top questions asked during an interview, both technical and non-technical. Next, you need to decide on a formal attire and beware of your body language. The best degree colleges in Bangalore and other cities offer complete support for students. So in case you have any doubt, do not hesitate to go ahead and ask.

From brushing up your course subjects to going for the interview, the points mentioned above include more or less everything. Remember, MCA campus placements can be your ticket to a great future. Plan ahead and perform with a positive attitude!
