As with our meetings with HOD sir and Head T&P sir there are some informations I feel that I should give about HOW to be prosper in career and to get a job actually, some lines are of respective teachers, HOD and some are from Industry leaders remixed with my experiences, hope they will work also for you as they have worked for many people -
1) Have some out of syllabus knowledge / Training / Certification Courses about various Topics, mainly like HTML, PHP, ASP.NET, C#, J#, SAP, AB INITIO, MYSQL, J2EE, Java Scripts, Ruby, Perl, Python etc.. Companies now demand people who will be able to work properly from the day one. for that you also need to have an in depth knowledge of industry tools like Qt, Qtp, LaTex, Raptor Tool, IBM lotus, Rose... etc. don't give an excuse to yourself that this is NOT in syllabus. company does not follow your syllabus. it follows the market needs and trends.
2) Have some Industry's latest technological advancement news and informations, update and equip yourself with all the news like GOOGLE GLASS.
3) Do some international certification courses like CCNA, RHCE, OCJP, MCTS, MCSE etc. they will give you a competitive edge over others.
4) There is no company "WITHOUT CRITERIA", some company writes their criteria, some don't. which companies does not give any criteria list, filters out the students with higher knowledge through HARD exams.
5) DO NOT be absent on any campusing day, no matter what is the size, name, goodwill, salary is offered of the company. Continuous attendance in all the campusing events shows your eagerness towards job and company watches it SERIOUSLY along with all the T&P officers involved in our college. Don't be afraid that if you get in a small company you will not be able to sit in next big company. lack of professionalism is what makes your profile most unsuitable to the company. company does not expect that you will answer all the questions but they need a better human being also. and COLLEGE WILL NOT SEND candidates to the venue if they suspect that you will demolish the goodwill of the college because the bad experiance company will face from you will make their impression about the entire college.
6) Small companies offer large packages and expects a professional person from you who will be able to work from day one WITHOUT any training. For that they require MCA, as we have more experience.
7) Have knowledge about current industry trends like CLOUD COMPUTING, client server architectures, online collaboration tools, virtual office etc. Also have some knowledge about Hardware networking and software design. knowledge on project management and humanities is also needed, job is not all about coding, sometimes you have to prepare documentation also and letters to be sent to upward or downward stream.
8) PLEASE at least solve 1000 industry related APTI question papers and follow R S AGARWAL's book [given in the group]. there are also sites which provides several company's test papers.
9) DO NOT GET dependent on the college T&P department, also try for off campus, talk to your friends, put your CV in several job sites and update them regularly. The industry foloows some new standards like online CV, telephonic interviews.
10) TRY for govt jobs also.
11) If you need any training on any field just ask to your HOD and he will surely provide that to you. APTI tests is going to be held on regular basis from now on. Seminars and Trainings from now on will be mandatory.
12) Prepare for GATE (CSIT) 2015 from now. no matter if you go for M Tech or PhD, GATE score will get you competitive edge on getting a JOB. AEC GATE academy may be opened in 2014.
13) With all the knowledge and Aptitude solving techniques people think that they are ready when they are not. They fail in the place of Communication skill and ability to express themselves. many people ignore language study. but what is the use of knowledge if you cant express yourself. if you want to survive command the language.
14) The main problem in interview is not to deliver the answers but it is the confidence level and inability to face questions. thats why mock interviews are needed, GD, Extempore and other things are needed. From now on MCA students should select the subjects on which they have depth and they will teach juniors and will take classes. in this way the fear of talking to others and facing questions will be solved. keep in mind that all the classes will also be evaluated by live faculty members.
15) Try to clear your doubts and be the master of your core subjects like C/C++ programming, DBMS, Networking etc. You are expected to give instant answers when questions are thrown to you from these core departmental fields.
16) Also knowledge of basic computing like MS OFFICE, troubleshooting, handling of computer and peripherals, usage of outlook, mail, and internet is absolutely EXPECTED from an MCA. do not forget to be technically SOUND.

I know the whole post is very long and probably boring and you must be tired reading all those lines but try to follow these and you will be more sucessful in getting jobs than others.
Thank You for your patience.
