Hi guys !! I desperately need your help.
First let me tell you about myself: I did my engg.(IT) from Pune university this year.I haven't got a job until now(haven't sat for a interview till now).Today only i came to know about c-dac, and this year, it's on 2nd and 16th dec. I haven't prepared anything yet.I am going to give my exam on 16th dec, so still nearly 1 month in hand for preparations.I wanted to know how should i prepare for exam?I am willing to put 12 hrs.. a day in preparation.

Also my BE avg is 56% and i got 65% in last year.So if i score very well in C-dac exams can i sit for all the companies?What is the avg packages that one can get if a person is very good at coding with excellent marks in c-dac exams but poor result in engg(as i told my avg. is 56).

Waiting for your reply guys..

    Kaustubh KatdareFirst of all, welcome to CrazyEngineers. CDAC is well known for their courses and placements record. You've 1.5 - 2 months of time and if you're willing to put dedicated efforts, nothing is impossible. Also, you should only focus on one question at a time. The top priority for you right now should be to crack the C-CAT.

    The entrance exam comprises of three sections -

    SECTION - A
    English, Logical Reasoning and Quantitative Aptitude.

    SECTION - B
    C Programming, OOP and Operating Systems, Data Structures, Data Communications and Network.

    SECTION - C
    Computer Architecture, Digital Electronics and Microprocessors.

    The first thing you should do is find out which are your strong areas and which are your weak areas. Based on your time and strengths; focus should be on making sure that the strong areas get stronger and you can make an attempt at the weaker areas (depending upon their weightage in exam). Most of the engineering students will find Section A Quans & LR easy to tackle with some effort in English. Being an IT engineer, I believe you should be able to handle Section B and C very well with some preparation.

    I'd recommend you to get access to the previous years' questions papers or sample papers and take multiple mock tests. That is a sure-shot way of getting success in such entrance exams.

    Companies will have their own eligibility criteria, so you should do a quick survey of the companies you want to work in and their eligibility criteria. Also check for placement information from CDAC centers, if possible and you may directly ask them whether your academic performance will matter in placements through CDAC.

    All the best for your preparation. Start studying and be around on CE - you can learn plenty of things here just by participating in discussions.

    Hey
    I am B.E (CSE) fresher,completed my engineering in may 2016.
    Planning to give cdac for security course,
    I am not good at coding ,which course I should choose or I should drop d idea of cdac.

  • ester456u

    @ester456u-nwXkvf • Jun 2, 2016

    Hello Marina
    Firstly I am very glad to find that you are having interest in security, plus you are good in coding. I have also done DITISS from acts , so if you are passionate about security go for DITISS it is very nice course don't listen to the people telling you that DAC is better bla bla bla
    Always follow your dreams and if you are good in programming it will help you in the course as security course also requires Programming
    I hope I cleared your doubt So all the best and if you have any queries you can ask
