Inspiring Growth: Shanthi IT Solution Joins Meenakshi Sundararajan College Campus Drive
I still get a little buzz thinking about the campus drive at
Meenakshi Sundararajan Engineering College. Shanthi IT Solution rolled in
with energy, a pile of resumes, and most important a desire to connect with
students who want more than just a job. I took part in the placement drive,
and honestly, those few hours felt like a fast-forward of what careers actually
look like: messy, exciting, and full of tiny decisions that add up.
Walking into the hall, you could tell people were ready. Not
just the students faculty had that quiet, practical calm; recruiters were
switching between formal and friendly faces; and the air smelled faintly of
coffee and new beginnings. To be fair, placement drives can be nerve-wracking,
but they’re also the best reminder that opportunity often shows up where
preparation meets courage.
moments that stuck with me
- I
met a student who redesigned his college’s alumni portal on his own time
so alumni could donate and track projects. That project wasn’t part of
coursework it was his answer to a problem he noticed. That kind of
initiative speaks volumes.
- A
nervous interviewer turned into a conversation when a candidate asked
about the company’s learning culture. That question led to a ten-minute
exchange that revealed more about fit than any formal test.
- During
a short resume clinic, a girl condensed a two-year internship into three
crisp lines that suddenly made her strengths pop. It was a small edit, but
it changed her story.
Practical steps I encouraged students to take
- Tell
three short stories: one technical win, one team moment, and one quick
learning curve. Those cover most interview questions and make
conversations less awkward.
- Build
one project that matters. It doesn’t have to be huge solve a real problem,
even in your hostel, neighborhood, or department. Real value flashy jargon.
- Practice
explaining what you built in one minute. If you can’t explain it quickly,
the interviewer won’t get it either.
- Treat
rejections like debugging. Find the failing test, fix it, and ship again.
- Follow
up send a short, sincere thank-you after interviews.
Why this matters a quick, honest
take
You might not realize this, but placement drives aren’t just hiring events.
They’re feedback labs. Students get real feedback on what matters; companies
get to spot people who’ll grow beyond the role. The magic happens when both
sides stop selling and start listening.

A small, human piece of advice
No one gets everything right the first time. I met students who’d failed
college tests, flubbed interviews, or changed majors. What they hadn’t done was
stop trying. That stubbornness counts for more than any single grade.
If you were part of the day student, professor, or recruiter
thank you. If you missed it, don’t worry: the next opportunity will come.
Meanwhile, pick one tiny project, polish your two-minute story, and talk to one
person you don’t know this week. Those small moves compound.
