If I go for engineering, can I get a job in Google?

Any engineering will not and cannot assure you a job with Google. It will be important for you to understand the requirements of Google at the time of you completing your engineering. It is also worth mentioning that Google is now a large company with activities in diverse sectors, for example, Google Maps will need different skills and background as compared to Android operating system. At this stage, it is important for you to concentrate on getting an admission into a good engineering college, preferably one of the original IIT and then complete your engineering with good grades and a solid understanding of concepts.

Hi, Yes, why not. Even in a survey, it has been found that alumni of engineering institutions are performing better than the any other institutions. As far as Google is concerned, it may not prefer you like an IITian but Google is open for everyone. They just need your skills. That's enough. But yes you need to match their standard. To be honest, having a degree in XYZ field does not alway mean that you need to be employed in XYZ field only. I have seen a lot of engineers, especially from the Civil background migrating to IT. Yes, it is true that you will require certain characteristics to match the given profile but there is always a possibility especially in the non-Tech divisions. This will cheer you up - I was a Google Student Ambassador (GSA), 2013-14 and our programme head - permanently employed at Google - was a Civil Engineer! Also the HR guy who took my interview was a Chemical Engineer! So you see, possibilities are endless, especially with a firm like Google. So better give it a shot, who knows you might be the next 'noogler'. All the best.

There is no sure shot chance for getting a top notch job offer at Google irrespective of any IIT or NIT. The most sought-after search giant gets 1000 application just a day and on campus, they select cream crowd who have great technical domain knowledge and coding skills. They would highly consider soft skills, social media presence, general knowledge, aptitude ability, psychometric evaluation, etc. You can rather choose MCA or BCA or B.Sc IT if not engineering to pursue dream offer-from google Inc. Eligibility Criteria goes as below. You should maintain 65% marks throughout the academic career which means 65% marks in 10th, 12th and BE/B.Tech course.There should not be more than one year of gap between any courses of study.There should not be any backlogs when applying for Google. Hence, from above we can draw inferences that you need sheer dedication, academics, Overall grooming to be stand out as best amongst the crowd and secure your job at Google Incorporation. Best of luck.

There is a nationwide and a worldwide competition for getting into the world's most preferred and the most developing multinational corporate that is Google because of its high salary, luxurious and modern working culture as well as the opportunity to work with the best minds on earth. There are numerous ways to get into google some of which are mentioned below: Firstly, one should be a great programmer at the end of 4-years in C language, HTML, Java and should have a thorough knowledge of web development and android development. Secondly, the person should be a good speaker, a good convincer and a presenter. He should have a knowledge about all the current technology updates precisely related to Google. Third, one should be a runner-up or a winner from various coding competitions such as Hackathon, hackerearth, held in various parts of India by many multinational corporations. Lastly, although in many IITs, Google visit for recruitment such as IIT-Bombay and Kanpur but if you're not a part of that, try to get interned in your 7th semester in Google which will raise your chances of getting employed in Google because Google mostly prefer their interns for the job as compared to the newbies. Thank you. Best of luck.

Hi, Engineering degree will not let you fall automatically in Google. You will have to work harder and harder to build and prepare yourself for Google during your academic period. Google has a very different and unique hiring policy. Google also visits campuses for hiring but it happens once in 3-4 years. So, now you can understand the competition level. Below are some tips to crack technical interview of Google:- Coding: You should know at least one programming language really well, preferably C++, Java, Python, Go, or C. You will be expected to know APIs, Object Orientated Design and Programming, how to test your code, as well as come up with corner cases and edge cases for code. Note that we focus on conceptual understanding rather than memorization. Algorithms: Approach the problem with both bottom-up and top-down algorithms. You will be expected to know the complexity of an algorithm and how you can improve/change it. Algorithms that are used to solve Google problems include sorting (plus searching and binary search), divide-and-conquer, dynamic programming/memoization, greediness, recursion or algorithms linked to a specific data structure. Know Big-O notations (e.g. run time) and be ready to discuss complex algorithms like Dijkstra and A*. We recommend discussing or outlining the algorithm you have in mind before writing code. Data Structures: You should study up on as many data structures as possible. Data structures most frequently used are arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, hash-sets, hash-maps, hash-tables, dictionary, trees and binary trees, heaps and graphs. You should know the data structure inside out, and what algorithms tend to go along with each data structure. Graphs: Consider if a problem can be applied with graph algorithms like distance, search, connectivity, cycle-detection, etc. There are three basic ways to represent a graph in memory (objects and pointers, matrix, and adjacency list) familiarize yourself with each representation and its pros and cons. You should know the basic graph traversal algorithms, breadth-first search and depth-first search. Know their computational complexity, their trade-offs and how to implement them in real code. Kindly find the link for reference: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://careers.google.com/how-we-hire" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>https://careers.google.com/how-we-hire</a> Here you will get the detailed information about their hiring process. All the best :)

Sure, why not? You can get a job at Google, but the question is, will you? So, here are some of the facts which you need to great straight: 1. Google recruits mostly from premier institutes in India including the IITs, NITs and BITS-Pilani. 2. Even if you are in these institutes, you should have a very strong fundamental understanding of the subject. 3. You should be passionate about coding and be really good at it (I mean really good). 4. Even if you are not from a target school, you can still make it to google on the basis of your talent. 5. You should fit into their recruitment criteria and also should be a good cultural fit in their workplace. So, here are some factors which you needed to know, but let me inform you that just taking CSE will not make you eligible for recruitment at Google. So, all the best.
