Placement prep
How each company hires
What the recruiter actually tests, what is worth studying for it, and how the rounds run. Every page says when it was last checked and links to the company’s own careers site — patterns change every year, and no prep site is a substitute for the official page.

Read this before you plan around any of it
Cut-off percentages, exact round counts and this year’s test pattern are deliberately not on these pages. They change every cycle, prep sites copy each other’s stale numbers, and a student who prepares for last year’s pattern walks into a different paper.
What is here is the durable part: which subject areas get tested and what to study. That moves far more slowly. For this cycle’s specifics, use the official link on each page and your own placement cell.
