recruitment process in colleges

1. Placement Process

3. Pre-Placement Talk
Companies will come down to campus to conduct pre-placement talks. These
talks will give students an idea about the recruiting organizations and
opportunities available within these. It also gives students the chance to
interact with employees of the company and learn more about the work
culture. Based on these talks, students decide to apply for these organizations.

4. Submission of Resumes
The willing students submit their resumes to the company after the
presentation or to the Placement committee in case the companies wish to
have them early prior to their arrival on campus.

5. Short listing of Candidates
Based on the resumes, their academic records etc. the companies prepare a list
of eligible students and inform them advance to the Placement committee.

6. Campus Recruitment
The companies inform the Placement Committee about the recruitment
procedure followed by them, like Group Discussions, Case Studies, Personal
Interviews, written test etc. After the selection process, the companies announce
the list of selected candidates on the campus itself followed by appointment
letters.

Career counselling by faculty and trained professionals in different functional areas.
A structured Personality Development Programme, wherein interviewing skills are
imbibed by trainers and corporate alike.
Developing effective resumes.
Mentoring by the alumni, in terms of sharing experiences vis-à-vis realities of
corporate life, refining expectations and projecting future trends.
The Placement Team indentifies the potential recruiters, interacts with selected
companies and coordinates the visit of such corporate executives to the campus.

9. An effective way of creating awareness about companies among students is to
provide information. The information could be in the form of company brochures,
pamphlets and other published information. The Placement Officer ensures
distribution of published material among students.
At college, various events, guest speaker panels, conferences, workshops and
academic fairs are organized in which companies participate directly or contribute
through partnerships.
Projects are an integral part of the academic curriculum at college. Both Summer and
Live projects with organizations provide students with basic understanding of the
companies operations; this ultimately enhances the adaptability of students at large.
