What are the best placement stories of NIT, Jamshedpur?
Posted On - Apr 23, 2021This is an inspiring placement story of one of my seniors from B.Tech CSE at NIT Jamshedpur. He is a dedicated, talented, and hardworking person.
In 2015, Amazon visited the campus to recruit interns. This senior of mine applied for the internship, along with others in the department. He cleared the written round and the 1st technical interview. But he failed to clear the 2nd technical interview. So he was not among the 5 students who secured the intern position.
A year later, Amazon visited again with a full-time software development engineer position. This time the guy was determined to crack the test. He was one of the only 2 students who cleared the written round and 4 technical interviews. So this time, he secured the position at Amazon.
Amazon offers one of the highest packages at NIT Jamshedpur. This guy cleared its difficult test against all odds. He cleared the test in 2016, and joined the company precisely one year later, after completing his B.Tech.
This guy enrolled at NIT Jamshedpur in 2013. His roll number contained the number 13, and so did his hostel room number. It feels like 13 is his lucky number after all!
This is one of the stories that my friend from NIT Jamshedpur shared with me. It is his friend’s story.
Name of the Company: ZS Associates
It is a dream analytics company for many.
Place: Jadavpur University (Pool Campus)
Let us refer to the person as ‘X’.
- 13 candidates were made to sit in the room after the final interview round. Except for X, all the 12 students’ names were called one after the other and were given the company’s coffee mugs and pens.
- X asked the placement coordinator about his selection to which he said “sorry, you got rejected by the company.” This broke his heart. He had studied hard for the company’s placement and got rejected at the last round.
- He was about to leave the place when he heard HR call out his name from behind. He told him that he was on the waiting list and the VP of the company will take his interview which will be a telephonic interview the next day morning. This gave X a little hope.
- He had to leave for Jamshedpur, so he booked an auto. But, on the way, he got the call which was from the VP. He immediately stopped the auto and looked for a quiet place. He went to the “Ganga Ghat” which was seemingly quiet. But, it seemed crows did not like it.
- The VP was furious about this and told X to find a calm place and call back. Sadly, there was no such place around that X was aware of.
- He made a call to his friend. She informed him about her PG but, it was a girls' PG and boys were not allowed inside. Since he had no other option, they thought of giving it a shot.
- He rushed to the PG. At the entrance, they checked for the security guard who was fortunately not around. He went inside his friend's room and was done with his interview after an hour. He booked an auto to return to the station.
- He received a call while in the auto. It was from ZS Associates. As soon as he received the call, he heard “Congratulations, you are selected.”
While the lady was sorry for not being able to give him the coffee mug and pen, he was thankful to her for the good news.
