Let's move ahead! There is more than what a textbook offers you. This doesnt mean that books at not to be read. After all, we need to be ompetitve than just passing the subjects.

We would have come across this scenario multiple times. -" OMG! did you see that notice board? He is just an average student in the class. Raghu, cleared the campus selection. And Hemanth! the guy with 70+ hasn't made it to the prestigious MNC."

No doubt, Hemanth is a gem. He is undoubtedly the distinction guy from the class. But that doesnt help when it comes to screening for the campus placements. Raghu, has scored just enough to be there in the list of the cut-off percentage for the B.Tech score. Beyond that Raghu has exhibited few more talents which made him stand apart from the crowd.

This means the companies coming for campus interviews treat both Hemanth and Raghu the same way if they fall under the cut-off percentage. After this, its one's way of handling things that brings in the difference.

The approach.
The positive attitude.

The confidence levels
Ways in reacting to a situation.

Remember, technical things can be taught, but not the personality development. If someone says, Sit in my personality development class, you will make it through and you believe that person, then you are a dumb. There is only one way to make the development - It has to come within. You will have to realize it. No one can make you do it come from with in.

So what next - We have few more things to discuss on this. Coming with them in the next set of posts. Until then, keep reading, drop your feedback, and yeah concentrate on the subjects, because that is the first thing!

B.Tech Baba (Screenshot-1)

Continuing the discussion on the B.Tech baba types. No more beating around the bush. Lets lay down few equally important things we need to discuss and few other we need to keep out of the scope of this thread.

A Big "NO"

• This is not about how to prepare technically  for an interview.
• This thread is not to groom you for an technical interview.
• This thread doesn't not give you any technical tips.
• This doesn't include tips to change to a new job.
• This doesn't not help you engage/gauge  an experienced.

Then what is this thread for?

Its "ALL" about

• Taking a deep breath and understanding your within.
• Helping yourself get analyze your positives and negatives.
• Realising the betters in you and the detaching the not so best of you.
• Helping you Calculate what is the best and the right thing for you.
• Helping you gear up for the expectations of an interview.
• Building the right attitude, approach and finish for the Under grads.
• How to make yourself more involved in setting the goals.

Based on the feedback/comments we recieve we will try to put few things which readers believe will help them.

A series of posts to explore,exploit, exchange and enhance the skills needed for an under grad to get ready for the real world.

We do have guest authors who are at the levels of Senior Project Mangers, New Managers, Tech Leads, HRs belonging to various MNCs based out of Hyderabad. We also have invited few freshers who have just taken a campus placement so that they can share their experiences too..

We at HYDROKR believe to deliver the best for the society and its constituents. Get ready to boost yourself.

B.Tech Baba... (A series...Is Hyd employable?)

I was sharing my joy and happiness with one of my friends for the just achieved milestone of 300 posts on our own Hyderabad Rocker blog. I was over enthused and my friend too was with my continuous blabbering.
We were discussing on the variety of posts that we at HYDROKR have been writing over the last 3+ years. There were few fingers, some feedback, new suggestions and many appreciations to take home from the discussion.

One most important suggestions/idea to take home from the discussion is about the B.Tech babu/baba. This is not at all a new thing. Hyderabad has been the new face of IT industry in service/support/development departments with world's biggest IT companies having their Development centers in Hyd.

Microsoft
Google
Facebook
Salesforce
IBM
ADP
Accenture
Dell
Thomson Reuters
Infosys
Cognizant
TCS
Wipro
Mahindra Satyam
Infotech
and many more.......

Thus Hyderabad has continuously been supporting the ever growing needs of the world's IT needs year on year tirelessly and with more dedication. At the same time it has been creating new jobs/opportunities cutting across the ladders of the IT and its supporting infrastructure and maintenance sectors. So there is a need to monitor, capture, analyze and implement more sophisticated techniques to establish, maintain and operate the industry.

However, the question of the hour is -Are the Engineers gearing up to the situation. Is the city ready to absorb the growing day to day population. On top of all this, are the students passing out of the Engg. colleges of Andhra Pradesh able to raise to the situation to grab the job opportunities that are getting created in this industry?

Hence, we, the HYDROKR, want to take up a series of posts on this topic, so that we can stand, look, listen, obeserve, understand, analyze, concentrate, dedicate ourselves to capture the opportunities and more importantly together :-).

So, B.Tech Baba's get ready... think.... are you employable?

Your views cut short.

After a long time, i have decided to take an earned leave to spend sometime with my parents and my sister. Pushing the daily routine of moving out of home at 7:25 AM to catch a bus at 7:30 AM at a stop that is 3 KM from my home in-time, which makes my 40 KM travel a comfort.

But being a software engineer at heart and soul, i couldn't put myself away from the Laptop for long. So, I wanted to spend sometime going through the random things that stuck my mind. Stocks-shares-sensex- was the thing that I dislike following. Just to make a diversion in my thought process, I had opened a couple of sites that help us track shares to the core.

There were so many details on the page, which instantly has taken my mind away from the page. What i did was, watch a couple of trailers for the upcoming movies in the YouTube. After sometime, when I was back on this site to close the window, i saw a shocking alert at the right bottom of the screen. I was surprised, taken aback and was wondering. The webpage made me believe and tried to prove that it was far intelligent and proactive than the normal netizen is expecting.

It threw an alert saying
"We notice that you are tracking AAA share closely. Get real-time notifications and alerts on SMS".

So, I have searched for another stock and left the page without doing anything for few minutes and went back to it. Alas! it said the same thing again, but for a different stock this time.

"We notice that you are tracking BBB share closely. Get real-time notifications and alerts on SMS".

Well, what does this mean? Is the stock information provider trying to help us? Not sure?
As far as my understanding goes, IT IS NOT. Instead, i would say that these websites are trying to steal our browsing information. They are trying to customize the stock pages based on few patterns that are captured by the algorithms of a server which has 0's and 1's and  have NO brains.

The next time around, the content that is suggested to you will be based on the last preferences that you have set. Say for example you have been checking the details of shares that are going ONLY on positive and are within a range of Rs.200 to Rs.300, and you make the tracking assistance save your preferences, then it shows you details of stocks that are in this range only. So, this means, your view of the webpage is defaulted with this range. Alas!

Instance TWO: I have opened a couple of webpages and then i was checking some websites that were doing e-commerce. I have picked up few brands and had navigated through the T-shirts section of those brands.  From the next time when i visit the two other  webpages that were open along with the current e-commerce site, they display the ads pertaining only to those brands. :-) Tracking to the core. This means indirectly, the technology has cut short my view of the outside world based on few of my hits and browsing patterns. The most important thing of all this, the browsing pattern used and evaluated was from my past time and not as per my needs.
