Achariya College of Engineering Technology — ACET, in Villianur, Puducherry — has put 3,600+ engineers into industry since its 2010 founding. The 2023-24 drive crossed 200 offers across CSE, AI & DS, ECE, EEE, ME, Civil, IT and Robotics & Automation. TCS is the flagship name on the placements page (Ninja, Digital and Prime offers each season), and the second wave runs through Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, Capgemini, HCL, Accenture, Tech Mahindra and Mphasis. For the CSE and AI & DS toppers there's an aspirational product-company lane — Zoho at Estancia and Tenkasi, Freshworks in Chennai — where a single clean Round 3 whiteboard can lift the offer from the campus average straight into the ₹6-18 LPA band.
Every interview on this page is the actual round an ACET student will sit in 2026, not a generic prep blog. TCS NQT Ninja runs the full 190-minute pattern with two coding archetypes, the Microsoft Teams Tech-MR-HR loop and the 1-year bond conversation. Infosys SE drills the pseudocode section that decides the SE-versus-SP track. Zoho Round 3 is the famous Estancia cut-off — diagonal pattern, in-place string expansion, and the Set / Get / Unset / Commit / Rollback key-value store, all on the whiteboard with no IDE. The canvas is open the whole time so you sketch, trace, and patch the same way the panel watches you do it live.
