Confidence level of even the brightest is bound to go down a notch or two after messing up one interview. So the key is, get it right the first time.
Ace that written exam: The written tests in campus interviews generally are aimed at testing the candidates knowledge of his/her core technical subjects in addition to critical reasoning skills. For instance, CS students must be prepared with Operating Systems, data structures, programming, compiler design etc. During the interview: Having cleared the written test, it is important for you to know the basics of programming for the interview. Generally, interviewers ask basic searching and sorting algorithms. Students generally cannot answer questions as simple as bubble sorting using C. To avoid this blunder, know your subject well enough.

Being well versed in your subject would definitely give you an initial edge, but communication skills are equally important. You know that you are knowledgeable, but the interviewers dont. They need to be convinced that you are the right person for the job. Good communication would certainly help you convey this.

Be honest:
This may be your first campus interview, but it wont be the interviewers first time conducting one. It wont take much time for a skilled interviewer to find the loopholes/lies in your CV, and once he does, it is not going to be pleasant.

Maintain eye-contact:
This age old formula to project confidence still works like a charm. A good eye-contact is an effective way to let the interviewer know that you both are on the same page. Remember, first interview is unnerving for everyone. Always go in for an interview with positive energy. Self confidence is one trait highly valued by employers. But, it is important to appear confident, without appearing conceited. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dont whine about your unfair life in an interview. The interviewer is not your shrink. He is just trying to find someone perfect for the job. Long story short, just concentrate on your skill-set and how you can add value to the organization. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11)
Dont get defensive if the interviewer asks you something you find inappropriate. Handle such situations very intelligently during your campus interview. More often than not, the interviewer is judging your tolerance level, and reaction to stressful situations. This is the kind of stuff Stress Interviews are made of. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
