Placement Interview: How many programming languages should I know?

I am pursuing BTech in Computer Engineering. I am about to enter final year. I want to ask what things recruiters expect from students. i am so confused what to do. How to prepare. I know c,c++,vb,java programming languages. Is it okay to keep practicing on these or i should learn new languages to add to my resume? And one more question I have in my mind. I have never participated in extra curricular activities. So if recruiters ask about extra curricular what answer should i tell them?

    The answer to your question comes from none other than Bruce Lee. Click on the following button to see it -

    Why not try to be exceptional at what you already know than adding several languages to your resume which you don't know much about? As a recruiter, I'd be happier to recruit a master C,C++ coder; because I'd know it won't take a long time for such a coder to gain command over any other programming language.

    Show the recruiters you love for the programming languages you've mentioned. Show them a few projects that you worked on in your part/free time.

    Extra-curricular activities are 'extra'; they may not be the part of selection process. You should focus on your strong areas. I don't know a person who got rejected because of no participation in extracurricular activities. All the best!

    PS: Be active on CE. You'll learn a lot of things.
