Thoughts on Placements

We became the 2nd batch in the history of this college to host a placement week on 3rd of December. Not only did we raise the level of expectation but came through with most of them. companies and profiles were new and varied which overall met our expectations of job and pay. Yet in the midst of all the good times we had a few set backs also. Although placement week is over officially, we still have some friends who are trying to find the right start for themselves. What i think stood out in this placements was the level of commitment of "almost" all the students towards each other. Most of us didn't think twice about not appearing in an interview if it meant giving another friend a chance which he or she needed more than i did. For that i applaud my classmates and i think it's a clear message about unity and trust when it matters the most. fingers were pointed at us on this issue but i think we have sent the right message across. No. of offers, packages are mere statistics which will unfortunately never capture the undying spirit in us as a class.... as a team!!!

Dude,
Though i completely disagree with what you thing the only point i would like to make is that uniting at some times doesn't make me feel really united! Moreover, the unity you are talking about can be easily contested. :-)

I would like to completely agree with what shila said.We as a team have done well during the placements.
@rakesh-unity doesn't always mean agreeing to whatever other person says or does.Unity is being able to act as a team when in need.

I completely agree with shiladitya.. We can always find fault in everything if want to. We should see the positive part of everything, and appreciate that.
Placement is a good e.g. to say that..

Nice stuff shila..keep writing..
