TWO NIGHTS @ JEC JABALPUR

THE FINAL NIGHT After the interview I wanted to go home but just then I bumped into a senior. I told her that I am going home. She was surprised and said that how will I be able to sleep when the result is still not out. Is that so?? Well ok I thought, I should stay in the college.

I just opened the messenger to see if there were any new messages on my mailbox. I was about to close it when someone pinged me. I was surprised to see a stranger on the IM. There he told me a story. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Which I forgot so can’t tell you. And here what I am sharing with you all is my experience of the first ever campus recruitment (nothing related to the story) that I ever went to (better to say was allowed).The first company that came to our college was TCS DAY #1 Well I got up in the morning as usual at 8. The day passed slowly. We were told that the PPT was on 5 pm, so thought of leaving for the college at around 4 (it is half an hour voyage from my house). PPT was to be followed by online-test and then the interviews session on the next day. I had to print my r
