Reviews

It was a dream come true for me when I got placed in CISCO SYSTEMS with a package of 10.7 lakhs. I am immensely thankful to Ela Kashyap for writing such an amazing book. It has all the requisite information required to crack any interview, as it succinctly covers all the important topics one needs to know for IT interviews. The book has helped me to crack five rounds of interview. So, I would like to recommend this book to all the engineering students. — Komal Ashok Panzade, Network Engineer, Cisco Systems, Bangalore
