r/PlacementsPrep

Basically, I was selected at Capgemini through campus placements. In November 2025, I received my LOI on Superset. In that, it was mentioned that I have been selected for the A4 role, at 4.25 LPA.

Since my college has a MoU with the company, our training started in December 2025, at my college premises only. They were training us for Java Full Stack (Java Spring Boot + React JS).

During the training, it was proposed to us, as a plan, that those who will complete the training and the later evaluations (M1 + L1 + Sprint Evaluation), with good performance throughout, will be subjected to package upgradation before joining the company as a full-time employee.

The training lasted for 5.5 months (Mid December 2025 to End of May 2026). And throughout the training I performed well and was among the set of fast learner students. But, even after completing every test and evaluations in first attempt and with positive feedback, it was never disclosed to me that whether I will be subjected to any sort of upgradation (from A4 4.25 LPA to either 5.75 LPA or 7.5 LPA) or not.

Now, on 2nd July 2026, all of my batchmates, including myself, received our joining date of 27th July 2026. It was mentioned in the mail that we have to submit our documents for initial background verification, before July 5 EOD.

I am also having an offer from TCS @ Digital (7LPA), and comparing that to A4 (4.25 LPA), I was sure that I will not join Capgemini. Today, I received a call from the same person who sent us the mail regarding document submission, and she asked me why I haven't uploaded my docs till now. I told her that I am unsure about it because there has been no communication done with regards to package upgradation, upwards of A4, at all. So, she told me that according to her database, I am supposed to be joining at A5 and at 7.5 LPA only. I asked that why it has not been mentioned in any of the mail that has been sent to me, so she said that it is a confidential piece of information and it will be only disclosed once all the pre-joining formalities have been completed.

Now I am so confused about shall I trust a commitment made over a phone call and no actual written proof for the same or just leave the offer as it is and wait for my joining from TCS.

Although I did not mention to her about my other offers and have also uploaded the initial set of documents (mainly undertakings), but I am still very confused.

Kindly share your views and opinions.

I'm about to enter the placement season in the next few months and wanted to learn from those who've already been through it.

If you got placed for around a 6 LPA package, what kind of coding questions were asked? Were they mostly easy, medium, or hard (similar to LeetCode)? If you remember the questions or the topics they covered, please share them.

3 FAANG Internships and No Job

Hello!

I am a recent graduate (2026 batch) with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from a tier 3 college. In my second year I interned with Amazon, third year with Google and in the fourth year I had a return internship from Amazon. Everything was going exceptionally well, I was having a dream run, then life happened.

Just after my first internship, my sister (only 16 years old) got diagnosed with schizophrenia and our family had to face various hardships.

Ever since, everything has been going south. My internship with Google got sour due to the assigned mentor (he got fired this year in Feb, after ruining my internship experience) somehow managed to complete the project, have a great final presentation, was appreciated by the director of my org, yet got waitlisted on conversion because the hiring for my Host was freezed. Still on the waitlist.

About my third internship, this one 6 months, halfway through the internship, my dad had a stroke, suffered paralysis, went into coma and just so you know, my sister is still not well, still under a lot of medications, dropped out of school and everything.

Told my complete situation to my manager yet ended up without an offer. He said and I quote "things happen in everybody's life, you should know how to handle them without affecting your work." Mind you, I am the only earning member of my family and have nothing now.

I need your help in finding remote jobs now, please help!

Like what things sre asked about the projects in your resume and is that okay if I build them using ai , do they ask to code also ?

THIS MIGHT BE THE WORST NINJA INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE YOU WILL EVER COME ACROSS.

FULL STORY : I was select for ninja role after my NQT exam. mail came on 2 July 6:00 pm that u have an interview scheduled on 3 July 9:00 am.

came back from college and prepared for the concepts that were asked for ninja role. After a long process and waiting on the interview day my chance came and we were only 15 members remaining out of 500 that day. I finally went for my technical interview.

NOW GUESS WHAT what should be asked in a technical interview? OOPS,DBMS,DSA ?? NO OO I WAS ASKED ABOUT MY MUSIC PREFERENCES THAT TOO IN A TECHNICAL ROUND THAT WHOLE ROUND WAS ABOUT NOT USING BRAVE BROWSER OVER YT MUSIC. the students that went before were asked simple DSA and fundamental questions but God's plan.

I knew at that moment that they don't wanna hire me.

THEN CAME THE HR ROUND. GUESS WHAT I WAS ASKED?? A FULL EXPLAINATION OF AVL TREE AND MUCH MORE FOR 3 LPA?... only three HR questions were asked which i honestly did not wanted to answer.

I REALLY GOT UPSET AND BLAMED MYSELF FOR HAVING SUCH A TERRIBLE 'KISMAT'.

NOW IM DONE.

I want to know whether they send rejection mails together for the people who attended the interview on the same day, same location or do they send separately?

I give interview on 20th may still not received any rejection mail.

What it means?

what should i do?

Hello,

I appeared for the TCS NQT and was interviewed for the Prime profile. Two days after my interview, I received an email from TCS requesting my documents, which I submitted on time.

Recently, some of my friends have received their offer letters, but I haven't received any update yet. I wanted to know if there is any information regarding my selection status.

The reason I'm asking is that if I'm selected by TCS, I need to withdraw from my college placement process. Knowing my status would help me make the right decision.

I would be grateful if you could provide any update.

I was placed at quest global on january 2025 but till now i never got an offer letter.Do they have a reputation of not giving offer letters and kill the students career???

In my college, placement season feels like a marathon where everyone is chasing the highest package.
If someone gets a 30–40 LPA offer from companies like Texas Instruments or other top recruiters, it’s treated as if they’ve “won at life.”
At the same time, students with different interests (like cybersecurity, research, startups, AI, etc.) often feel pressured to abandon those goals and join whichever company offers the highest salary.
Do you think this placement culture pushes students toward short-term decisions?
Or is taking the best available offer simply the practical thing to do?
I’d love to hear perspectives from people who have been working for a few years and have seen how careers actually play out.

I just entered my 4th year of CSE, and I'm feeling a bit confused about placements.

I'm interested in Cloud Computing and DevOps (AWS, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Terraform, etc.), but the problem is that very few or no Cloud/DevOps companies are coming to my college for placements. Most of the companies are hiring for general Software Development roles.

I've already started building projects and learning DevOps, but I feel like I'm not able to study everything in depth because there are so many tools and technologies. Sometimes I spend hours trying to implement something, get stuck, and feel like I made no progress that day.

I have a few questions:

• If companies don't visit my college, where should I apply for Cloud/DevOps roles?
• Which platforms have the best opportunities for freshers? (LinkedIn, Wellfound, Naukri, Indeed, company career pages, etc.)
• Are there any companies that regularly hire freshers for Cloud/DevOps or SRE roles?
• What skills and projects actually make a resume stand out for these roles?
• How did you get your first Cloud/DevOps job as a fresher?

I'd really appreciate advice from people who have been in a similar situation. Any roadmap, resources, or job search strategy would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance!

This was only for final year students.

This is different from the summer analyst 2027.
