The document discusses five root causes of poor student placements at colleges and their potential remedies: 1) Poor placement committee and training and placement officer performance can be addressed through training, monitoring, and measuring performance. 2) A poor college brand image can be improved through marketing, competitions, and visibility. 3) During economic recessions placements are difficult to control but training can help. 4) Poor quality students need training in interviews, discussions, and knowledge. 5) Companies recruiting through competitions encourages students to participate and networks with top schools.
