Phase 2: Company Readiness (Semester 7)

• Role-specific tracks: SDE, Data Analyst, IT Ops, Cloud, Product (separated by student interest)
• Company-mapped preparation: FAANG, service companies (TCS/Infosys/Wipro), mid-tier product firms

• HR round coaching, group discussions, and presentation skills

Phase 3: Placement Season Execution (Semester 8)

• Real-time resume review and LinkedIn profile optimization before each drive

• Track post-placement follow-ups: offer letter status, joining confirmation, any issues

• Build a centralized digital resource hub: topic-wise notes, video links, practice sheets
• Develop and maintain an Assessment Bank with 500+ questions tagged by company, topic, difficulty
• Create semester-wise training calendar with clear milestones and deliverables
