Each question has an equal weightage consisting of 1 mark, and for wrong and incorrect responses, a negative marking of 1/3rd of the total marks. The topics asked in the online test were from the theory portion of technical subjects. Most of the questions were one-liners with one word answers. After clearing the written test, students were called for the next round of group discussion. In this discussion round, time slots were given to a student and groups were created by the HR executive. A group of five students was formed randomly, and they were allowed to participate in the group discussion. This discussion round was conducted online via Zoom meeting due to the pandemic situation. During this round, a random topic was given at that instant, and each participant was given one minute to prepare themselves before starting the discussion. This round lasted about 5 to 6 minutes. The panel in this round consists of two members from the HR department of the company. Those students who qualified in these 2 rounds were allowed to participate in the next interview round.
Both the institutes Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology, and Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University are well to pursue higher studies. However, when we talk about the placements offered and compare them, then for B.Tech-M tech courses the package range is INR 4-19 Lakhs approximately in Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology and around INR 4.5-25 Lakhs in Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University which is better than the former. Also the placement rate in SMVDU is greater than in SLIET. Also the growth rate in the number of placements is also better in SMVDU which is 28 % than 13% of SLIET. So we can say that placement report of SMVDU is better than SLIET.
