FROM THE AUTHOR’S DESK

Te journey o campus placement directory was approximately

5 years long. I have tried my best to include almost everything

you would require to get your dream placement rom Campus.I can still feel the tension which my team (ejas aori, Paras

Jain and mysel ) had beore conducting the Mock Aptitude est

or the rst time in College under the banner o Management

Society – Tadomal Shahani Engineering College.

I can still feel the curiosity with which the students o my batch

used to ask me – “Which company is coming next to Campus?” (I was the placement envoy or my department.)

I can still feel the disappointment ater my rejection in the rst

two companies that came to campus.

I can still feel those sleepless nights or surng the latest

Aptitude est Pattern and the Company’s prole along with

some Common Interview Questions beore the third company that came to my college.

I can still feel the earnestness I had or conducting more Mock

Aptitude ests in college ater that.

I can still feel the anxiety in my eyes or doing something in

this eld and serving the Society and College.

I can still feel the air which orced me to go to Crossword-Bandra (a very amous bookstore o Mumbai) every day ater

college hours and spend time there to get more and more

innovative ideas or the Campus Placement Directory.



Campus Placement Directory x

I can still feel the excitement with which I used to narrate

the story-‘Will Maya get a Campus Placement’ to my riends.I even scolded many o them or not giving me eedback on

time.

I can still feel the words o some close riends hurting me to a

great extent, who did not have aith in the Campus Placement

Directory. On the other hand, some riends were even ready to

listen to my story at 4 a.m. and give eedback (thanks or your

support- Pankaj Rupani, Mala Ashra and Anju otani).

I can still feel that my journey o Campus Placement Directory

has just started.

I completed my graduation long ago, but ‘Campus

Placement Directory’ will always remind me of my college

life.

aection I received rom my amily. So I cannot aord to miss

out their names.

Sunil Gidwani Sir: or the regular support and encouragementprovided. He is the training and placement ofcer o my college

and selected me as an envoy o my department. Te envoy’s

experience turned out to be the most memorable part o my

college lie. A very special reason being it gave me the platorm

to interact with all the students o my batch, which helped

me in my story, Section 1 o the book, and I received a lot o exposure, which has helped me as an individual.

Chumki Biswas Mad’m: or her scrutiny o my story

(section 1) and the eedback which she provided. She was a

guru or me throughout the journey o this book.

Rahul (Book stall owner of my college): He has always tried

to motivate me. He once told me “Don’t think o money now.Do not even think o publishing a series o books. Tink as i
