What I liked was that the preparation didn't start only when placements came around. We were getting small bits of training throughout the course, so it never felt rushed.

Things that really helped were:

• Mock interviews to practice before the real ones.

• Communication and personality development sessions.

• Resume-building guidance.

• Group discussions and presentations.

• Guest sessions with industry professionals.

• Internship opportunities to get some real work exposure.

By the time placement season started, interviews didn't feel as scary because we'd already practiced so much. I felt much more confident compared to when I first joined, and that steady preparation really made a difference for me.
