Campus Placement Interview Guide for Tamil Nadu Freshers: Questions, Answers and Preparation Tips
It is every student’s dream to get a job in a good company after graduating from college. In a state like Tamil Nadu, where there are plenty of educational institutions, lakhs of students take part in campus placements every year. But only those who prepare well for the interview get success.
In a campus placement interview, not only your studies are seen, but also your behavior, way of thinking, and ability to work under pressure. Therefore, just memorizing books will not work — rather you have to prepare yourself thoroughly for the interview.
In this article, we will tell you what kind of questions are asked, how to answer them and what things are important to keep in mind in the interview.
1. Technical Questions
A. Questions based on Core Subjects
If you have graduated from B.E., B.Tech, BCA or any technical course, then basic questions related to your course will definitely be asked in the interview. For example:

How to prepare:
Read the basic concepts of every subject thoroughly. Don’t just read the theory, understand and think through examples. Old notes, practical files and YouTube tutorials can be helpful.
B. Practical Applications
Sometimes the interviewer may also ask you to do coding directly. For example:

How to prepare:
Practice daily on websites like Hackerrank, Leetcode, GeeksforGeeks. This will improve both your speed and logic.
