More companies

The days seem to pass by without anything interesting happening. We had Sonata softwares on campus today. It is a small company and I think that making it come to the campus so early was a bad decision. It was offering Rs 2 lakhs p.a and you also had to sign a bond of Rs 1 lakh for a period of 2 years. IMHO it is not at all a good package. The share value of the company is around Rs 20, which, for an IT company, is not at all good. The impression they gave in the PPT was that the job was not going to be technical, so I don't think they will be attracting many people.

Back from NITC

These past three days were spent blasting at NITC. We had an inter college basketball tournament there. We had the first match on Monday evening with GEC Thrissur. Their team was below par so Thomas (our star player) didn't even play that match and we beat them with a comfortable 20 point lead. In fact we started showing off at the end of the match (which ,in retrospect, could have been limited ). Our next match (the semis) was to be against CET. We had two players from CUCEK, so they said that they will protest if we made them play against them and hence disqualify us. We respectfully obliged to their suggestion and beat them by more than 20 points. If felt nice ;)
The last match was against NITC (the home team). At the onset of the match we didn't play well and they had a 16 point lead before we scored our first basket. At the end of the first half we were down 21 points. Then we decided that we will strengthen our defense and give it all. Slowly and steadily we started to catch up and at one point we were just down by 3 points. Unfortunately at that crunch situation I missed two underbasket shots (and according to Thomas that cost us the game ). We lost by 7 points but we gave them a nice fight. The crowd there was very decent unlike ours and some of them also appreciated some of our shots and they didn't even abuse us. We got the certificate and the prize money and we blasted the night in the hostel, where we were staying. We returned the next morning.

The NIT campus was very nice and quite .... we changed all that for a period of two days ;)

Wipro

Wipro was here for campus placement yesterday. I gave the written exam and cleared it. Today was my technical interview, which I promptly took care of ;). The tech interview was smooth, I had a nice time bragging about my project. The HR interview was also ok. I'm right now impatiently awaiting the results. Hope I get through.
[update]
I got through all right yahoooooooooo.... it is a real nice feeling hope my other friends are also placed soon, then we can all go and freak out..

A late update

Its been a long time since I blogged anything (mainly because I didn't get time for it). I was resting for two weeks due to chicken pox. Then we had our internal exams (which still are not over) and now companies have started coming to campus for placements. The first one will be Wipro on 18th. Then we have two more companies coming on 20th and 23rd whose names haven't been disclosed yet. My preparation for campus placements is ok. I'm a bit apprehensive about the interview. Lets see how everything goes. Fingers crossed.
