Campus Recruitments began yesterday..... and I got a job in the very first company!!! And it's none other than INFOSYS!!! They selected 48 candidates out of the 350 odd eligible, and I WAS ONE OF THEM!!!!
The written test was one of the longest one and a half hours of my life!!! It was not till I came out of the hall that I realised that I'd made some really dumb errors in it! That got me really down in the dumps, but surprisingly enough, I got cleared!! I suppose a good mark in english made up for the aptitude mess up.......
Anyway.... Interviews began and went upto 8:30 in the evening..... We were damn tired, had had nothing to eat all day, and just wanted to get the result asap..... Then those people decided to take another round of interviews for a few candidates...... as if there wasn't enough tension in the air already!! Wild speculations began running throughout the crowd about who all had been re-interviewed and why......
The process took another 2 hours, and at 10:30, by the time when everyone had ripped off half their hair off their skulls, the placement incharge came in with a beaming smile and announced that 48 had been selected by the company..... and the best thing was that the 48 included about 7-8 of my very good friends, so i'll have plenty of company so to say!!!
We finally went out to eat a sumptuous dinner, and retired at 2 am......... what a day!!!!!!!!!

Great news and one of the best software firms in India in the first time itself, that is absolutely great work, although I have heard campus interviews can be a long and tiring process, but I didn't realize it would be this bad. Just glad you made it.
