A word from the CEO

Mr Sandeep Jain
CEO, GeeksforGeeks

GeeksforGeeks was born out of necessity - a need to provide a convenient and

one-stop educational portal to all the students of Computer Science. This ne-
cessity was as personal to me as it was universal. This need combined with my
passion for teaching resulted in GeeksforGeeks, as we know today. My message
to you, in our third edition of Geeks Digest, would be to always remember that
happiness comes from within and when you truly love doing something, your
job won’t seem like a job but a hobby by which you earn money.

Wishing you the best of luck!

Placed in Placed in

This course was a complete package! It contained coding

questions, technical subject quizzes, aptitude questions,
object-oriented design & OOPs concepts: All that was
asked in almost every interview. This placement
package assures 100% placement, in my opinion.
It contains all the relevant content for placements
and after completing each section, one may take
tests that give quite a real experience and thus,
a thorough practice.
Being from a non-CS engineering branch,
my chances of being selected were already slim but this
course helped me a lot in coping up with my peers
from CS background. Everything that is
important like DSA, DBMS, OS, etc.
was taught in depth.
Special thanks to Sandeep sir for making things
simple with his great teaching methodology.
