Keen on capitalising on the upcoming campus placements to heighten your chances for a graduate opportunity, ahead of your graduation? As an engineering student would tell you, the right opportunity begins with targetting a core company or a set of core companies and then planning your preparation accordingly (something we recently discussed in a piece on cracking your dream job).

Defining the right company:

Then the first step is targetting the right company. The right company is the one which offers the right opportunity and clicks in terms of pay scale, future scope of opportunities, perks, work culture, training and career graph.
