How Did You Prepare For Your Summer Placements? How Did You Feel Once You Received The Internship Offer?
I got a lot of support from my seniors as well as the alums who are working in that particular company. The alumni committee of our institute is responsible for arranging sessions with the alumni to help us understand the role better and how to prepare for it. The alums are very gracious to take time out of their busy schedule for the batch. I was very happy the moment I received my offer letter since it is a dream company for not just me but any computer science student in India. Couldn't have got a better offer than this.
