What sets us apart is that we offer equal opportunity to all students on an individual basis, says Vice Principal

Aside from that, a student must be hardworking and persistent in order to do well in the classroom. The two important aspects in ensuring improved results are consistency in the classroom and self-learning.

Q: What are you doing to improve/drive better campus placements for your current students and alumni? What kind of jobs routinely come to campus? What would you say are the key recruitment trends for your college(observed over the past five years?)

A) To drive better campus placements, we have a placements cell that is actively engaged in the following activities to ensure challenging roles and quality placements for our students:

- Regular industry interactions in the form of industry visits, guest lectures and motivational programmes facilitated by industry leaders

- Personality development training sessions facilitated by external trainers and agencies who specialise in this task

- Mock aptitude tests, group discussion sessions and personal interview rounds for final preparations

- Internship and live projects

- Value-added courses relative to their area of interest and industry requirement

- Feedback from companies and students placed to prepare the next batch

Being an Arts and Science institute we have companies coming up with a variety of profiles and responsibilities such as for Finance stream students we have companies like HCL, ATOS, TCS, Ford and Capgemini participating the campus placements; For IT roles we have TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, L&T Infotech actively participating in the placements season; Similarly for Healthcare and Pharma companies we have seen Zifo and AGS Health actively recruiting our students, etc.

As a part of key recruitment trends, we have observed that:

• Students are already aware if they want to participate in a particular company’s placement drive or not basis the detailed job description that is being shared in prior
• Companies conduct many competitions for final year and pre-final year students, and through proper monitoring and evaluation, successful students are offered job opportunities. These competitions have served their purpose by training the students during their college life and to find a suitable job when they pass out of college.
• Many companies follow Train & Hire method as well, in this method companies conduct an interview and after the selection of the candidate, a particular syllabus related to their prospective job is delivered through online mode and candidates are evaluated before they pass out the college, and are hired.
• Nowadays, many reputed companies expect the students to be trained well before the Interview in specific and prominent areas of their study. For example companies from the financial and IT sectors expect the candidates to possess knowledge regarding the latest terms & technologies. This pandemic has changed the interview methods and companies have switched over to online softwares, recruitment tools for their hiring needs.
