Dr. Brijesh George John explained the various types of tests commonly conducted by companies, including aptitude tests, logical reasoning assessments, quantitative aptitude, verbal ability evaluations, coding challenges, programming assessments, and technical assignments. He shared practical strategies for improving performance in these assessments and encouraged students to practice regularly using online learning and coding platforms.

The session was highly interactive, with students actively participating in discussions and seeking clarification on placement-related topics. The real-life examples and practical insights shared by the resource person helped students gain a clearer understanding of industry expectations and recruitment standards.

Overall, the Placement Training Program proved to be highly informative and beneficial. It provided students with a comprehensive understanding of the campus recruitment process, effective CV preparation techniques, and the importance of online assessments in securing employment opportunities.
