Disappointed Madurai students, even after Campus Interview selection

Disappointed Madurai students, even after Campus Interview selection

In most of the colleges, campus interviews are conducted and the students are selected for employment in corporate companies. Companies include HCL, TCS, Satyam etc., If you don't know what is Campus Placement - Companies come to the college campuses and recruit students after written tests and couple of rounds campus interviews. Students are made offers even while studying 3rd year or 4th year of the academics. Today what is happenning is - even though the students are offered with a job after interviews in college campus, companies are postponing or cancelling the placements in the companies. The reason is recession in economy. Companies are wondering if the new employees should be taken in or not, with this kind of economy situation. This happenned in past like during 2000, 2001 and 2002 timeframe. Hopefully this would change, after the economy improves. Students and Candidates, please keep hope and this would improve and you would get jobs. All said - a given fact that you have already gone through interviews and got selected is a big deal. Be proud of it!!
