General Tips: 1. Be thorough with the subjects that you have studied in your respective branch and the projects that you did.
2. For this particular company learn 8086 microprocessor & O.S. very well.

The job profile offered was Associate Engineer. Yeah, at the end they do give you a chance to ask questions about the company. By this they are basically checking that, if you are interested in the company or not. So if you really want to get in, then do ask question to them about what exactly will be your role in the company, but before that fill them in that you are aware of the job profile offered, otherwise they will think you don't know about the job which you want. And ask about the HR's experience in the company, the work environment. Ask a maximum of two questions not more than that, because you don't want to seem like a chatterbox. If you are reading this best of luck, may the odds be with you.
Skill Tips: 1. I referred "Test your C skills" By Yashwant Khanetkar, "Data Structures made easy by Narshimha Karumanchi".
2. For Further Programming I did questions from geeks for geeks.
3. First thing is to clear the aptitude test so start with Arun Sharma or R.S. Agrawal.

I didn't prepared for aptitude very well. So at first I was getting kicked out of the first step itself. So be good at it in the coming summers only. And then prepare your technical part. Change your way of answering according to the company. Its easy to get placed if you work smartly. No need to take tension. Be enthusiastic and dynamic.
