Placement Activities at School of Computational Sciences
Solapur University, Solapur

The first company to visit the campus was IKANKSHA, a mobile engineering company that is into designing and developing solutions for various mobile platforms.
The third year (fifth semester) Master of Computer Applications (MCA) students are eligible for the campus placement interview. After two years of rigorous training in computer sciences and their application by way of projects at every semester, they are expected to be ready to enter the real world of software engineering and development; to expand their careers.
This year (2010-2011) the School had 47 MCA students in fifth semester. Myself (GBB) and my colleague, Mr. Sushil S Bansode (SSB), another Assistant Professor on visiting, were assigned the job of preparing these students for their interviews on a short notice of a day. Following are the details of the activities that we conducted jointly for the same.
