May be a little OT but my 2paisa of information for all the people who are willing or about to join any of the SW MNCs.
Interviews are damn east to clear it off. Only thing is the aptitude test. Prepare for aptitude from now when you have time. No need to strain your self. Enjoy your college days and jeven a 10 percent concern on your career will definitely land you in a good job.

- Keep your expectations low. IT companies are over rated. Once you come here you will understand how shitty work we are doing.
- Most of the MNcs are IT conslting companies which comprises of 905 of support projects. So its like a call centre. Only thing is you don't need to say "" Thank you for calling IBM india pvt ltd"
- All of what you have learned in your 4 years of engineering will go into drain. You study about PSK, modulation, and here you suggest clients about which module of SAP will help their chemical business to get more profits.
- As a fresher every one wants to code. But there is a lot in software without little or no coding. So without programming skills you can survive in IT industry with ease.
- If you are a fresher and came from normal dabba colleges like me i bet every IT MNC is same. guess what after you join here you have chance to work with people from IIT and IIM as well. Only thing being they may earn double your salary.
- f you are smart enough you will gain 2 yrs of experience and then write cat/mat/rat or something and will do MBA. however after MBA you will realize you did a big mistake spendig 2 years in MBA as your friends who will be having 4 yrs of total experince by now will be saving 1 lac a month easily in US.
- Most important point a 3.5LPA package doesn't give you 29166/- a month. yes your maths is wrong.it will give you some where around 23- 24 a month(Max).
Reading above all threads, i came to conclusion that i should sharp my C++ and java skills to grab some opportunities..
Also i think there are many members out here who got nice position in MNC's, and damm #Lord Nemessis also interviewed many, i think you all can surely help us aka noobs to step into an IT company, keeping finger crossed f.......
