placements per year, across a two-year DSA rebuild measured through TCS NQT.
The challenge
A large BTech campus placing 60–80 students a year - with a curriculum that taught programming fundamentals but never systematically built the DSA and test-pattern readiness that TCS NQT and peer recruiters actually screen for.
What we did
A two-year partnership across the student journey:
- Year one: DSA foundations and competitive-programming curriculum alongside semesters
- Company-specific NQT preparation - current patterns, timed sectionals, error analytics
- Weekly RAG dashboards for faculty and the placement cell
- Season-time mock drives and last-mile intensives
The results
153placed in phase one - from a 60–80 baseline
241placed in phase two
3×sustained annual placement growth
The difference was specificity: company-wise test patterns, DSA depth, and weekly dashboards. Our placement numbers didn’t inch up - they tripled.
