Harsh but true, jobs are lesser than applicants. So who will beat the other to a job depends on how open the eyes are kept. Keep searching the net, newspapers and keep preparing for competitions. One most critical thing is communication. Work hard on your communication. People are not taking freshers. So even at the cost of no stipend, try talking to HR persons in companies and get trained to add value and weight to your resume.

It is not essential to wait for a good job. Board exams are ensuing. Take a group and help the students out. This will help brush your own fundamentals and when you go for interviews, your answers will be more focused and impress the interviewer.

Your counsel.
