IET Bhaddal Students Shine with Meander Training Chandigarh Tricity’s AI & MERN Placement Drive

🎓 The Journey from Campus to Career Begins Here

In today’s world, students no longer just dream of degrees - they dream of deployments, real work experience, and job offers. To make that dream a reality, IET Bhaddal Institute of Engineering & Technology partnered with Meander Software Pvt. Ltd., a Mohali-based IT company and training platform known for industry-driven education and real placement outcomes.

This Campus Recruitment Drive, led by Dr. Sandeep Shrivastava, aimed to provide final-year students of B.Tech (CSE/IT), BCA, and MCA an opportunity to showcase their projects, skills, and potential directly to industry recruiters.

🚀 The Campus Drive: Where Knowledge Met Opportunity

The Campus Recruitment Drive at IET Bhaddal was not a typical placement event. Instead of just interviews, Meander focused on skills, creativity, and innovation.

💼 The Process Included:

  • Skill Screening - Students were tested on Python, React.js, problem-solving, and logical reasoning.
  • Project Evaluation - Candidates presented their live projects and GitHub portfolios developed during internships.
  • Interactive Interview Rounds - Conducted by Meander’s tech team, focused on real-time thinking rather than memorized answers.
  • Final Selection - Multiple students received offers and internship confirmations for AI, Web Development, and Marketing roles.

“What impressed us most was the enthusiasm of IET Bhaddal students - their projects were creative and practical.” - Dr. Sandeep Shrivastava, Founder, Meander Software Pvt. Ltd.

🎯 Skills That Got Students Placed

The drive proved one thing: real projects speak louder than resumes. Some of the key skills that helped candidates stand out were:

  • Knowledge of Python, React, Node.js, MongoDB
  • Hands-on experience with AI & ML tools
  • Strong understanding of Digital Marketing analytics
  • Communication and presentation confidence

Students who had completed live project internships with Meander Training found the recruitment rounds much easier, as they already had deployment-ready experience.
