Which are the top companies hiring freshers in IT industry 2020 in Kerala?
Many MNC’s hire freshers in Bulk. MNC’s such as TCS, IBM, Infosys, Wipro, Accenture, CTS, Cape Gemini are the major recruiters of freshers. Recruitment procedures are done mainly in two modes
- On-Campus Drives
- Off-Campus Drives
-
What is the difference between these two modes?
In On-Campus drives, the companies approach the students via their college of study and in Off-Campus drive, students need to approach the companies by visiting the places they conduct drives. On-Campus drives are organized by colleges and all the eligible students are allowed to attend it. It is an accepted fact that the competitions in On-Campus drives are less compared to the Off-Campus placements which are open to all students who are willing to approach the company.
-
Does missing campus placement put a full stop in your IT Job career in Kerala?
Not at All !
ON-CAMPUS recruitment drives can give opportunities for many students though, some students may find it difficult to attend the recruitment procedures due to the lack of desired cut off percentage. However, even if they have the required cutoff and if they fail to get the required score in the tests conducted by IT companies, they will surely get eliminated.
There comes the significance of OFF-CAMPUS drives. Off-campus placements give access to more and a diverse set of job opportunities for freshers. Unlike on-campus placements where you are restricted to companies who have a tie-up with the college, off-campus placements allow you to even reach out to companies that do not visit your campus.
-
What are the common steps to be followed for off-campus recruitment drives?
- Prepare an impressive resume:
The first step towards finding a job off-campus is writing an impeccable fresher resume.
- Take several aptitude tests:
You are most likely to give a written test during an off-campus drive. So, prepare for the same by taking as many aptitude tests as possible. After all, practice makes one perfect.
- Do proper research:
Gather as much information as possible about the companies you are going to appear for during the off-campus drives. Look for industry / domain-specific knowledge as well; it will help you answer more confidently during the campus placement interviews.
- Prepare for interviews and group discussions:
Be prepared for group discussions on topics related to current affairs, socio-economic matter, political issues or any random topic. Also, it is always recommended to prepare some common interview questions to give it your best shot in the final interview.
- Keep your documents ready:
While hiring freshers, companies are very particular about checking the academic background of their candidates. You should have your documents ready and neatly filed in one place. Make sure you have all your mark sheets and documents with you. If anything is missing, apply for a duplicate copy to avoid any last minute hassles.
-
How to stand out in a crowd?
OFF campus drives are highly competitive. Students from multiple backgrounds with a variety of skills increase the rate of competition. In order to get successful in OFF campus recruitment, students must get equipped with the latest trending technologies that are being used in the IT industry. The amount of theoretical knowledge that you acquired from your textbooks are not good enough to make you hired. Since IT job market is a highly competitive one, the need of doing internships come into the limelight. The most important element of internships is that they integrate classroom knowledge and theory with practical application and skills developed in professional or community settings. Having an internship gives you experience in the career field you want to pursue.

Can I get a Jobs in Kerala, if I have Back Papers (Backlogs, Arrears, Supplementaries, or whatever you call it)?
If you ever had a Back Papers in your Academics, you might have asked this Question yourself several times.
Is Arrear a problem for getting a Jobs in Kerala?
Without Any Hesitation, we would Say NO!
Arrear Can’t Stop your Career!
Before going further let’s make the fundamentals Clear
- Companies hire you based on your skills, not based on your Academic Marks. We have seen many students having top CGPA fails to impress recruiters. We have also seen many students with Back Papers above 20 getting placed in Reputed Companies.
- Having said that, Back Papers obviously are not feathers on your Cap. You should definitely make an action plan to clear it
What should be your Plan if you have Back papers?
- The first and foremost thing is to be realistic. Many of you might be having a dream to get placed in Top Branded IT Firms like Google, Facebook, Amazon, Infosys, TCS, UST Global, Wipro, CTS Etc. The saddest part is that these so-called Tier 1 Companies will not allow students with Back papers to even attend their Recruitment Process. Then what’s Next Option?
- Loads of Start-Ups/ Companies (So-Called Tier 2,3, 4 Etc Upto Infinity) in Kerala recruit freshers, even if you have Back papers or comparatively low CGPA. Most of them don’t bother which college you studied, How Much percentage of Marks you have, Are you an all Pass graduate, on which technology you did your project Etc. One and Only thing these companies will check is Whether you have the Right Skills / Attitude and Passion to be successful in Life, this will helps you to get best jobs in Kerala with back papers
Now, how can you get into these Companies?
- Make your base strong. If you are a Computer Science Graduate concentrate on basic programming languages like C and Java. If you are not a CS Graduate you have to make a Step By Step Plan. Your First Step should not be to learn C or C++. But you should start learning basics like Algorithms, Flow Charts first. Once when you get the idea of how programming works, start to learn C Programming.
- Play Games! Yes, you heard it right. But not Pub G or Call on Duty. There are lots of games available which can improve your Logical Abilities. This doesn’t mean start playing such games 24 X 7. Spend 1 or 2 hours in a Day to play such Logical Ability Building games.
- Improve your Communication Skills. We know you might have heard this sentence at least 10000 times in your life. Communication skills, we didn’t mean English Speaking Skills. Communication skill is nothing, but the ability to present a Concept/Idea with Clarity (In Any Language). In Recruitment Perspective, communication Skills are really important. When you face an interview, there will be candidates who might have 8.0 CGPA, but poor communication skills. In that space, if you can come up with better language and communication skills, the recruiter will definitely notice you even though you have less CGPA and Back Papers.
Is it good to Start a Career with Small Companies/Start-Ups?
Definitely Yes! Because the Exposure you will get from these so-called Small Companies/Start-Ups will be really huge, compared with any other Top Branded MNC. In an MNC, you will be a part of a team that handles a Small Part of a Project. Hence your learning Curve and Exposure will not be that high. For Years you will be working on Same Technology/Client which will make your job literally a Clerical One. Whereas, in a Small Company/Startup, you will be assigned high priority tasks of various projects/clients. This will help you to learn the latest technologies and tools. Even such companies will provide you an opportunity to directly interact with clients, which eventually will make you a better professional in a short time.
To Sum Up, having Back papers is not at all an issue to find an IT job if you have the basics strong. Learn New Technologies like Python-Django, ASP.NET, PHP-Laravel, IOS, Android, Digital Marketing, and Skill Up. One Team Solutions offers various software courses including Python course in Trivandrum. At One Team we have trained many students with back papers and help them get placed in Reputed Companies. One Such Student had 17 Back Papers when he came to join One Team for doing his Internship. His Communication skills were also not at Par. But before completing his Internship at One Team, he got placed in a German Based MNC at Technopark Trivandrum.
This is one example and we have loads to tell!
So don’t be demotivated!
Decide now to Skill Up and Fly up like Phoenix!
