How can I get placed in a good company studying from an average engineering college?

It requires a lot of efforts and dedication. Let's consider two scenarios. In first one, at least one good company visits your campus. In this case, you need to make sure you are among the top 3-5 of your batch to get selected by the company. You also need a strong understanding of fundamentals of the subjects and skills related to the field. If no good company comes to your campus then you have to rely on networking. Start forming your network on sites like LinkedIn from start. Try and get internships from well-reputed companies. Perform well at those internships. As I already mentioned, develop your skill set. For example Auto-Cad or Solid-works for mechanical engineers or C+, Python for CSE engineers. Make sure you become better than everyone else in some particular sub field/ sub-branch then you would have better chances of getting placed. Apart from all these, you should have excellent communication skills as these will be required not only in your interviews but also during internships and during your actual job. Best of luck!

Getting placed solely depends on your performance in academics added with how much domain knowledge you have which can be applicable in industries to fetch business results. Your business analysis acumen is widely sought out, which if focussed can guarantee sure-shot good job from top MNC and Conglomerate. It is sheer persistence, hard work, self-belief, and passion which makes the student the best and confirms his seat in a good reputable company with abundant opportunities. Moreover, if your college is average you can add weight to your resume by the development of Internship experience, International immersion industrial visits, some co-curricular certification which proves your ownership and soft skills, added with technical certification such that you're updated with latest technology development. Top colleges definitely hold an edge over others, but even students from such colleges get meager placements for their lack of efforts and improper domain knowledge and understanding of fundamentals. Best of luck.

This may be the question of more than ten lakh engineers currently looking for jobs in India and I personally feel that I am the right person to answer this question as I have done research on companies and placement methods. Studying from an average engineering college means that you will not get an outsatnding and genius minds as your peers as one expect before the declaration of JEE Advanced results, but to get a job abroad, my frank advice is that you should isolate yourself from everyone and try to focus more towards your skill building. I have not emphasized on academics. Gain a good CGPA of above 9, 9.2 or 9.4, don't run for 10 CGPA as it will not give you much reward as compared to your efforts. Have fun, but please don't have distractions and if you find one, throw it out of your life. Always be energized active and confident for what you are doing. Take advice from everyone and be in touch with hardworking and corporative seniors. Fill the out campus forms for different companies and work on your speaking skills. At last, take part in every activity, don't just stick to books. Thank you. Best of luck.
