Sir give some advice how to shine after BTech in EEE
Ans: Nandan, Good you have asked this question in advance.

I assume you have either started your 1st year or already pursuing BTech (EEE).

Adhere to the following (Standard) Steps / Strategies / Tips (applicable to students of all Branches):

1) If you are going to start 1st year, visit the College Campus to spend 2-3 hours.
2) Know what all Departments & Infrastructure are there?
3) Hostel / canteen facilities available. Try some food in Canteen.
4) Interact with both the day scholar / hostel students.
5) Know the pros and cons of being a day scholar / hostel student. Know the travel time if you would be a day scholar.
6) Know seniors involve in any type of ragging (or) unlawful activities inside the college campus. You can't directly ask this question from the existing students. If you interact casually with some students, you will come to know from their body language.
7) Know, what are co/extra-curricular activities are available in the college & which ones are most suitable for you.
8) What type of pressures they might be going through & how to handle them?
9) If possible, meet the 4th year students to know about their plan & why? Whether they have started preparing for Campus Interview/Internship?
10) What all additional qualifications/certifications they have been adding during the last 3-years? Why?
11) What about the difficulty level of scoring/maintaining a decent CGPA? How to score/maintain a good CGPA?
12) What about the quality of teaching & also of faculties?
13) What about the difficulty level of exams in each Semester? If possible, ask this question from EEE-Students.

After joining the College:

1) Avoid skipping the classes.
2) Take notes of each class as class notes are most important for you to first study.
3) Have a good/professional relationships with all faculties of EEE.
4) Whenever you have any doubt(s)/need clarifications for your studies or career, seek advice/help from them when they are free or allow the class students to ask for the same.
5) To score good SGPA/CGPA, thoroughly go through the class notes and also the books recommended by your faculties for reference.
6) Interact with all your class students but have a good peer group around you, based on your interests/values/career goals.
7) Try to maintain a good SGPA/CGPA without any backlogs.
8) Involve in co/extra-curricular activities in College.
9) After your 1st semester itself, ask your faculties what all CERTIFICATIONS / additional short-term online courses you should join online (like NPTEL, Coursera, Internshala, LinkedIn etc.). Your department faculties are the best sources for you to provide this information.
10) Keep upgrading your skills by managing your time smartly for both College & also for Online Short-term Courses which will add a lot of value in your Resume.
11) By the end of 2nd year (4th semester) or 5th semester, you should be able to decide whether you want to target Core Companies or non-core companies for Campus Interview. It is advisable to mentally prepare for both. Have Plan B Also.
12) Or you want to pursue Masters in India or Abroad.
13) When you are in 3rd year end, ask your Department's Seniors (who will be attending Campus Interview) which all companies they registered for Campus Interview & Why?
14) What is the Recruitment Process? Assessment Test? Interview? GD or all?
15) What all questions were asked by the Recruiters? Technical/Non-Technical.

Creating LinkedIn Profile:

1) From 1st Year itself, have a Professional LinkedIn Profile.
2) Provide all relevant information in it, starting from your 10th standard/special achievements, if any.
3) Keep updating your LinkedIn Profile every 3-months.
4) MOST IMPORTANT: Put Job Alerts in LinkedIn, related to your domain and also the domains you might be interested in future.
5) Go through the notifications of Job Vacancies and its JD (Job Description).
6) This will help you to know the Job Market Trends to keep fine-tuning/upgrading you accordingly.
7) Connect with the Professionals of your domain (not to ask for jobs), but to seek advice from them.

Preparing for Campus Interview:

1) From 4th year beginning itself, research about the companies visited your college for Campus Recruitment.
2) Know the nature of their business/services provided by them from their respective websites.
3) This will help you to prepare you for the technical/non-technical rounds.
4) And what about their Recruitment Process? How to prepare for it?
5) For face-to-face or online interview, you can even have your own mock interviews with the help of your family members / friends by recording in your mobile.
6) Just play the recorded video your interview and notice what all mistakes you should avoid (such as your negative body language of fear, anxiety, nervousness etc.)
7) Conducting around 10-mock interviews at your home will boost your confidence at the time of actual campus interview in your college.
8) Prepare well for some technical / non-technical basic/standard/expected questions. This will further help you, crack the interview.

Planning for Masters:

If you have the plan to purse Masters after your BTech-EEE, in 3rd year itself, start researching about the colleges / universities in India / Abroad & know the Eligibility Criteria/Admission Process/Entrance Exams etc.

I hope I have answered to your question with value-additions.

All the BEST for Your Bright Future, Nandan.

Sir my daughter is doing Btech EEE at BIT Mesra Patna campus , she is securing 8 CGPA there . She is little bit upset due to poor placement there , what to do
Ans: Hello Alok.
Nothing will happen with an upset mood, and there is no point in blaming the institute at this stage. It is better to search for another path while completing the B.Tech. @ BIT Mesra. Here are a few suggestions for your daughter: (1) Start preparing for the GATE exam, which opens the doors for MTech at IITs/NITs or PSU jobs (like BHEL, NTPC, ONGC). (2) Focus on GRE and MBA (3) Join online Platforms: Coursera, NPTEL, Udemy, LinkedIn for advanced learning techniques related with EEE and CSE (4) Focus on Off-Campus Job Preparation, in which she can prepare for Aptitude, Coding, Core concepts etc (5) While in final year, create accounts on LinkedIn, Indeed, AngelList, naukri.com etc/ (5) If possible, join CDAC (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing) offer excellent 6-month PG diplomas with placement support (great ROI).(6) Talk to seniors/alumni for realistic inspiration and off-campus job guidance. (7) Consider a mock placement drive or aptitude training course in the final year.
Best of luck to your daughter for her upcoming bright future.

Note: The above ranks are indicative and based on available data for the OBC-NCL category. Every year, actual cutoffs may vary based on factors like seat availability, reservation policies, and candidate preferences.

?Regarding the chances of getting seats through JEE/JoSAA Counselling, here is, How to Predict Your Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main Results – A Step-by-Step Guide.

Providing precise admission chances for each student can be challenging. Some reputed educational websites offer ‘College Predictor’ tools where you can check possible college options based on your percentile, category, and preferences. However, for a more accurate understanding, here’s a simple yet effective 9-step method using JoSAA’s past-year opening and closing ranks. This approach gives you a fair estimate (though not 100% exact) of your admission chances based on the previous year’s data.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Daughter's Admission Chances Using JoSAA Data
Step 1: Collect Your Daughter's Key Details
Before starting, note down the following details:

Her JEE Main percentile
Her category (General-Open, SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD categories)
Her Preferred institute types (NIT, IIIT, GFTI)
Her Preferred locations (or if you're open to any location in India)
List of at least 3 preferred academic programs (branches) as backups (instead of relying on just one option)
Step 2: Access JoSAA’s Official Opening & Closing Ranks
Go to Google and type: JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024
Click on the first search result (official JoSAA website).
You will land directly on JoSAA’s portal, where you can enter your details to check past-year cutoffs.
Step 3: Select the Round Number
JoSAA conducts five rounds of counseling.
For a safer estimate, choose Round 4, as most admissions are settled by this round.
Step 4: Choose the Institute Type
Select NIT, IIIT, or GFTI, depending on your preference.
If your daughter is open to all types of institutes, check them one by one instead of selecting all at once.
Step 5: Select the Institute Name (Based on Location)
It is recommended to check institutes one by one, based on your preferred locations.
Avoid selecting ‘ALL’ at once, as it may create confusion.
Step 6: Select her Preferred Academic Program (Branch)
Enter the branches you are interested in, one at a time, in your preferred order.
Step 7: Submit and Analyze Results
After selecting the relevant details, click the ‘SUBMIT’ button.
The system will display Opening & Closing Ranks of the selected institute and branch for different categories.
Step 8: Note Down the Opening & Closing Ranks
Maintain a notebook or diary to record the Opening & Closing Ranks for each institute and branch you are interested in.
This will serve as a quick reference during JoSAA counseling.
Step 9: Adjust Your Expectations on a Safer Side
Since Opening & Closing Ranks fluctuate slightly each year, always adjust the numbers for safety.
Example Calculation:
If the Opening & Closing Ranks for NIT Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category show 8622 & 26186 (for Home State), consider adjusting them to 8300 & 23000 (on a safer side).
If the Female Category rank is 34334 & 36212, adjust it to 31000 & 33000.

Follow this approach for Other State candidates and different categories.
Pro Tip: Adjust your expected rank slightly lower than the previous year's cutoffs for realistic expectations during JoSAA counseling.

Can This Method Be Used for JEE April & JEE Advanced?
Yes! You can repeat the same steps after your April JEE Main results to refine your admission possibilities.
You can also follow a similar process for JEE Advanced cutoffs when applying for IITs.
