My Placement Story

सनातन धर्म में मां सरस्वती को वाणी की देवी कहा गया है। 24 घण्टे में एक बार वह हर व्यक्ति की जुबान पर आती हैं। इस दौरान बोला गया कोई भी वाक्य अथवा शब्द सच होता है।

तो बात है उस दौर की है (July 2015) जब में छठा सेमेस्टर पास करके सातवें सेमेस्टर में आया | पूरे कॉलेज में प्लेसमेंट को लेके अलग ही उत्साह था और हम भी उत्साहित थे, क्यों न हो हमने भी भरपूर तैयारी की थी प्लेसमेंट की | अब हम आते थे टॉप दस की गिनती में तो कॉन्फिडेंस तो था की हो जाएगा ब्रांच से सम्बंधित कंपनी में | जेसे जेसे टाइम निकलता गया मुझे पता चलता गया प्लेसमेंट के लिए पहले लिखित परीक्षा में पास होना पड़ता वो हमसे हो नहीं पा रहा था क्यूंकि उसमे आते थे अंग्रेजी और तार्किक सवाल  और हम तो तीन साल से अभियान्त्रिकी की तैयारी में व्यस्त थे तो इसलिए हमारा लिखित परीक्षा में पास होना कठिन हो गया था |

पर कहते है न खुदा के दर पर देर है पर अंधेर नहीं और वही हुआ  TCS प्लेसमेंट के लिए कॉलेज आई पर इस बार लिखित परीक्षा में टॉप के दस बन्दों को एक ही लिखित परीक्षा पास करनी थी और उसके सवाल आसानी से गूगल पर मिल गए बस तो फिर क्या ही था हमने सवाल के जवाब भी याद कर लिए और चले गए लिखित परीक्षा देने | पहली बार किसी लिखित परीक्षा का रिजल्ट पॉजिटिव आया और इंटरव्यू के लिए बुलाया गया |

चलो अब फिर से सिंपल इंग्लिश में लिखना स्टार्ट करता हूँ क्यूंकि ये ट्रांसलेटर यूज़ करना मुश्किल है😅

So where were we…….

Ok I remembered written exam was cleared.

It’s time to start preparing  for interview round. Luckily I got selected and my status changed to placed from unplaced.

But it’s not the end of the story. As an engineer I always wanted to work in company that is related to what I learned in engineering. And luckily college policy gives you a chance that a student can take one placement in company who is offering below than 5LPA and one in above 5LPA. So below 5LPA is in my bucket, now onwards I can sit only in above 5LPA companies.

So many companies came and went but I didn’t get placed. Why? Yes you guessed it right😂😂 1) in some company I was not able clear written paper 2) in some company I was not able to crack interview.

But one day my roommate got placed in company which is considered as dream company. I was in complete shock like if he if he can get a placement then why can’t I. That’s the first time I started to participate in placement celebration i.e. GPL. People says GPL is way of celebration but for me it was source of releasing frustration.😂

Slowly slowly everyone around me was getting placed. Level of frustration increasing. But no problem source to release this frustration was also increasing simultaneously 😂.

So at the end of 7th semester I was only placed in TCS.

8th semester started in January 2016.

Still I was the same as I was in 2015. Nothing changed. Still when written exam cleared was not able to crack interview.

On 16th March company named IGL visted our campus for placement.

On 16th written paper taken and on 17th interview was conducted. Results not declared.

Many more companies visited and still I’m not placed in other than TCS.

Now I started to complete course module given by TCS which has to be complete before joining.

But as I was interested to work in core company deep down I was waiting for the result of IGL. But time to leave clg and end of semester was coming closer at very fast speed.

So almost 20 days were left to left college and still result of IGL didn’t came.

Now comes the main part for which I wrote down this complete blog or story😂😂

Date: 20th May 2016  Time around 17:00 PM

We five friends as usual decided to go at canteen for refreshment purpose. We ordered normal things like Maggie and chai or sasti wali coldrink. Mentioning this detail is important. Let’s give my friends some virtual name.

Let it be A, B, C, D.

They were all placed. So chai pe charcha m aaj mere placement pe charcha hona start ho gayi thi. We started talking about pending result of IGL. As per history data we knew that igl provide result after 2 months. So we were confident that soon results will be declared.

Imagine yourself as me and your four friend as A B C D sitting somewhere. Otherwise you won’t get that feeling which I want to share through this blog and my complete hard work will be wasted.

Ok let’s start.

A to me: Don’t worry ho jaaega

B to me : Just chill and relax and enjoy Maggie

C to me : (time : 17:45PM) look I’m telling you, you are selected

Me to C: (time : 17:46PM) what about my closest compitetor Mr.X, cause In written exam they asked questions based on GK and i knew his GK is excellent

C to Me: (time : 17:47PM) look two student will be selected one for sure you and other may be Mr.X or Miss Y

Time (17:48 PM) or if I had to say more precisely then the moment he completed that sentence a WhatsApp message received in our placement group. And you won’t believe it’s the result of IGL.

The fun fact is that in notification you can read starting part of the message without opening it and here it reads as Igl result 1) Mr. X placed

So only this was visible. Everyone went in complete silence cause this result was important for me. We thought what if I didn’t get selected.

On opening the message what he sees was miracle

Message was : igl result 1) Mr X placed 2) me placed.

You won’t believe this whole thing that my friend declaration of result and actual result happend in fraction of seconds. That’s why I said in staring 24 घण्टे में एक बार मां सरस्वती हर व्यक्ति की जुबान पर आती हैं। इस दौरान बोला गया कोई भी वाक्य अथवा शब्द सच होता है।

Again everyone went into silence to gulp this information received.

So finally I got selected in IGL.

Wo kehte hai na khushi mil jaati hai to log pagal ho jaate hain mere saath bhi esa hi hua( till now I didn’t Seen the message) so I was like that pls recheck the names and even recheck the spelling of the name as my name is similar to one of our student. (Even you can correlate when I say my name they write it as Anup but mine is Anoop). Even after rechecking I had doubts so I called placement representative to check the mail sent by IGL that whether it is Anoop or anup. He ensured me it is Anoop but khushi sambhale nahi sambhalti.

If you remember I introduced 4 of my friends to you but you would be wondering what’s the role of Mr D. Well the moment he heared the news he call canteen bhaiya to give the Minute Maid pulpy orange for all the friends till their thurst get vanishes. The canteen wale bhaiya’s reaction was like that person from the popular video of pakistani cricket fan … Ek dum waqt Badal Gaya jajbaat badel gaye, inhanu minute maid pilao te Maggie bhi khilao 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Abhi ye kamine dost kaha rukne wale the☹️☹️ they planned to carry me on there shoulders from canteen to hostel. I said bhaiyo minute maid pelo but esa mat karo. And luckily they agreed just to spare this mode of transportation.

Chalo thodi der to rahat mili.

Bus ab hostel pahuchane ki baari thi.

GPL ka ek alag hi maja hai isme wo log bhi participate karte jo subject ko jaante nahi. Secondly isme log naye naye tareke nikalte hai marne ke. One of such idea was that utni belt padegi jitna roll no. Hai I was like kaha se aate hai ye log or Inke ideas☹️☹️. But har idea implement hota hai GPL m or ye bhi hua but luckily my roll number was 14. But 14 belt khaana bhi though tha. Dusra idea aaya kisi ko ki bheega k maaro to achhi lagti bus fir kya tha ek buket paani se bheega diya gaya. Ab koi chappal se maar raha koi sandals se koi belt se but but but itni maar khaane k baad bhi ek meetha sa dard hota wo bahut achha lagta.😂😂 To sabne apne idea implement kiye muj pe or chale gaye. Ab m bacha tha or meri tadapti hui body. Jese tese hum dono kamre pe pahuche or bus so gaye. Ye wali neend ka maja hi kuch alag tha.

Oh my good that’s how I got selected in IGL. Those fraction of seconds changed complete course of my life. 🤩🤩

Thanks for reading it.
