What's the selection criteria of IT companies ?? 2007-06-03 08:09:00 Frankly nothing.They don't need anything.There is n't some particular criteria for these people to select the trainees.They can take anyone.Neither your educational excellence matters nor your intelligence.All you need is a degree with 60% and you can easily get a job in a MNC.I saw hundreds of people getting placed in front of me without knowing anything about a computer in IT companies.Technical interviews are just crap.All they ask is your hobbies in a tech interview.A HR interview is nothing but just some questions about you and your family.If you are able to speak English all the way,you will clear these interviews without big effort.Very few people will be there who are really asked the stuff which is really meant to be asked.The most comical thing I find about these people is that the one who presents the powerpoint presentation can't even speak English properly.It's just that your college management should satisfy the HR with suitable perks to them and a big number of stude ...

Crash :( 2007-05-23 11:17:00 Argh !! my HDD crashed yesterday due to some unknown reasons.Looks like the SMPS gave some problem.Some transistors got burnt and fumes came out of it at one moment.Scared me , I attached my roomies HDD to my pc and thank god , other components are just working fine. I was out today to Nehru place to check out some stuff.A one and half hour journey in a delhi private bus in 40 degree day .You can guess whats my condition now !! I found prices dropped down a lot these days.Everything has got cheaper.A 250 Gb Hdd is just 2930/- and a portable 80gb HDD is just 2300. I checked out some laptops also.Hp ones are looking affordable and best buys there.But the heat was scorching.No sunscreen is going to protect you from Delhi's heat.I was standing on a divider and a heat wave which might because of heat reflection came from the road passed by.That single wave took everything out of me and I was dehydrating in few minutes.I had to take a juice and some cold milk to ...

Adsense preview tool 2007-05-21 23:40:00 I saw a post on Amit's blog , in which he talked about his new adsense preview tool , Adsense Sandbox.He launched a new online tool for Adsense publishers so that they can see the latest ads in the Google inventory for their keywords and URL's.Unlike the official Google Adsense Preview tool which is only available as an IE add-on, the Adsense Sandbox is available to all browsers through internet.It shows all types of ads including rich media ones.You even have the option of seeing what ads will appear on your webpages in other countries.Since the Adsense Sandbox tool uses random Adsense Publisher IDs, advertisers are not charged by Google for ad impressions or ad-clicks generated though this tool.
