Which programming language should I focus on for placements?

There are so many languages to choose from and I’m getting confused about what to stick with for placements. Is there one language that’s generally better to focus on, or does it depend on the company?

This is a very common question, and there’s no single “best” language for placements. What matters more is how well you know the one you choose.

For beginners, C++, Java, or Python are all safe options. Companies don’t really care which language you use as long as you can solve problems and explain your approach clearly.

In my case, I chose Java and stuck with it throughout my preparation. I used it for DSA practice, interviews, and projects. That consistency helped a lot because I never had to think about syntax during interviews and could focus fully on logic and problem solving.

The mistake many students make is switching languages too often. Pick one language you’re comfortable with, go deep into it, and use it everywhere. Once placements are done, learning another language is much easier.
