  Please give some details about training and courses for 2nd year cs engineers which will help in their placement.

  For the placements, you need to be absolutely confident about your knowledge of CS topics taught during four year engineering course. If you are very good in any programming language - then that's going to be a huge plus. I'd strongly recommend becoming awesome in C or C++ and know a bit about few other languages. You should be able to demonstrate your skills through the projects you've done (non academic projects would set you apart from the crowd).
  
  You may go for a course in networking, security or latest programming languages or tools (say Ruby Language & Rails Frameworks or Python) from any reputed institute in your near vicinity.

  Basic c++ is enough or should do advanced c++?
  
  And, I also want to know about workshops on windows phone & android app development.

  When I say 'mastering C++' it means you should be able to code complex projects in C++. It may include advance C++ also. You shouldn't limit yourself to what's included in the syllabus. Begin working on a complex project using C++ and you will start developing mastery.
  
  Workshops on Android, Windows development are okay. But attending seminar isn't an achievement in itself. If you develop a few apps on your own and show them to the interviewers - they'll be more than impressed. Just a long list of seminars attended won't impress any interviewer.

  I would like to add few more points to the above reply:
  
  1)Try coding small programs with 100% accuracy the first time.
  2)Try your hands on data-structures and algorithms.Make sure you know what tools to use while solving a problem, when to use and how to use with ease.
  3)Try solving problems on Competitive Programming | Participate & Learn | CodeChef or on projecteuler.net
  4) Like everything, it takes a lot of efforts to be proficient in programing, so keep learning with enthusiasm.

  Being in second yr, you have a lot of time to improve. Make sure you are clear at
  your fundamentals, and move towards advanced concepts only when your fundamentals are solid.
