# PapersAdda — Placement Intelligence

PapersAdda is a placement-prep archive for Indian engineering students. Maintained by Aditya Sharma from Delhi/NCR since 2017. Free, no login wall.

## What we publish

- **Source-anchored offer briefs** — verified comp packages cited from r/developersIndia + LinkedIn (Microsoft ₹85L SSE, Amazon ₹60L SDE-2, ₹66L senior IC raise, etc.). Each brief names the candidate or cites the source thread.
- **Company placement-paper packs** for 200+ India hirers (TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Accenture, Cognizant, MAANG, etc.) — exam pattern, syllabus, interview rounds, real questions from past cycles.
- **Interview-question packs** by company and topic — generative AI, system design, DSA, aptitude.
- **Salary intelligence** — fresher in-hand, progression, geographic breakdown.
- **Government-exam papers** — GATE, RRB NTPC, defence, banking.
- **First-party hiring data** via Hiring Pulse: live hiring counts per company, refreshed every 6 hours.

## Methodology (what we do NOT do)

- We do not generate templated content from prompts. Articles cite sources or are written by Aditya from primary research.
- We do not fabricate numbers. Salary figures, cutoffs, and offer claims are sourced from named candidates or cited threads.
- We do not run an SEO content farm. The May-2026 cull removed 180 templated stubs; what remains is hand-edited.
