He discussed hiring trends, changing employer expectations, and what companies look for when evaluating freshers. His observations stemmed from the hiring landscape, shaped by platforms like Naukri.com.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students who are preparing to enter the job market should pay attention to the point he raised. Certificates and academic qualifications alone cannot tell an employer how well someone can work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">On this page<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #0f172a;color:#0f172a\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #0f172a;color:#0f172a\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/polariscampus.com\/blogs\/alekhya-chakrabarty-at-constellation-2026\/#A_Degree_Is_Not_the_Whole_Story\" >A Degree Is Not the Whole Story<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/polariscampus.com\/blogs\/alekhya-chakrabarty-at-constellation-2026\/#Why_Curiosity_and_the_Ability_to_Learn_Matter\" >Why Curiosity and the Ability to Learn Matter<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/polariscampus.com\/blogs\/alekhya-chakrabarty-at-constellation-2026\/#His_Advice_Build_Three_Projects_Each_Better_Than_the_Last\" >His Advice: Build Three Projects, Each Better Than the Last<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/polariscampus.com\/blogs\/alekhya-chakrabarty-at-constellation-2026\/#Dont_Just_Build_a_Project_Be_Ready_to_Explain_It\" >Don&#8217;t Just Build a Project.

While academic qualifications still matter, employers want to see what a candidate can do with the knowledge they have gained.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Chakrabarty talked about the changing hiring priorities. And companies are increasingly interested in qualities like curiosity and learning ability. A fresher may not be aware of all the tools or technologies that are required for a role, but the willingness to learn something new and work through a problem can make a strong impression.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For students, this means spending less time collecting certificates simply to add another line to a resume and more time developing skills they can demonstrate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Curiosity_and_the_Ability_to_Learn_Matter\"><\/span><strong>Why Curiosity and the Ability to Learn Matter<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No student enters a job knowing everything. Employers understand that freshers need training and time to settle into their roles. What matters is how they respond when they encounter something unfamiliar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do they try to find an answer? Can they understand feedback and improve their work? Are they willing to explore a problem instead of waiting for someone to provide the solution?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the qualities Mr. Chakrabarty brought into focus. Students can start developing them during college itself. Taking up an unfamiliar project, trying a new technology, or finding a better way to solve an existing problem can all provide useful learning experiences.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"His_Advice_Build_Three_Projects_Each_Better_Than_the_Last\"><\/span><strong>His Advice: Build Three Projects, Each Better Than the Last<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One suggestion from his session was particularly specific. Mr. Chakrabarty asked students to work on three projects of increasing difficulty.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea is simple. A student should be able to show how their work has developed over time, rather than present a portfolio of similar beginner-level assignments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Project 1:<\/strong> Build a simple app that demonstrates your understanding of the basics and your ability to take an idea and turn it into a working product.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Second project:<\/strong> Do something more demanding. Use more tools, add new features, or solve a problem that needs more thinking.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Third project.<\/strong> Do a project that combines different technical concepts and where you have to make your own decisions. Give recruiters something more substantial to discuss than a list of skills mentioned on a r\u00e9sum\u00e9.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Just_Build_a_Project_Be_Ready_to_Explain_It\"><\/span><strong>Don&#8217;t Just Build a Project. Be Ready to Explain It.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is another side to project work that students sometimes overlook. During an interview, simply saying that you developed an application is unlikely to be enough.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recruiter will ask you why you chose a certain approach, what went wrong during development, or how you would improve the project today. These are questions for which the students should have answers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Chakrabarty also stressed the value of presenting a problem in a structured manner. Candidates should be able to explain what they were trying to solve, how they went about it, and what the outcome was.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A project becomes much more meaningful when the person who built it can explain the thinking behind it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Students_Can_Learn_From_His_Session_at_Constellation_2026\"><\/span><strong>What Students Can Learn From His Session at Constellation 2026<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Chakrabarty\u2019s advice to students preparing for placements comes down to a few practical points:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Don&#8217;t use your degree or certificates to prove your skills.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Bring curiosity to your everyday learning.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Work on three projects, each one more difficult than the last.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Keep a log of problems you encountered and how you solved them.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Practise explaining your work without relying on memorised answers.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Better_Way_to_Prepare_for_Campus_Placements\"><\/span><strong>A Better Way to Prepare for Campus Placements<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Placements often become a priority towards the final years of college. But the preparation for a first job need not begin in the placement season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The projects students take up, the questions they ask, and the effort they put into understanding technology can all add up over time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alekhya Chakrabarty&#8217;s address at Constellation 2026 gave students a useful way to look at their preparation. Instead of asking how many certificates they can add to their r\u00e9sum\u00e9, they can ask a more important question: what can they build, and can they explain how they built it?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That shift in approach may help them walk into an interview with something more convincing than a list of qualifications.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alekhya Chakrabarty at Constellation 2026: What Makes a Fresher Stand Out in a Job Interview?
