Pre-placement talks are vital in campus placement as both students and recruiters get a chance to gauge each other before the actual process starts ….
As the campus placement season begins final year students have butterflies in their stomach for the time has come to prove their calibre and live up to the expectations of parents, professors and most importantly, themselves. Aspiring candidates at this time have to prepare an action plan that will help them fetch job offers with handsome pay packages. Most of the colleges see to it that the students are well-prepared for Pre-Placement Talks (PPT). “In college, from 3rd year we had training and placement preparation classes along with our regular classes where we were taught all con- cepts regarding cracking the written exams conducted by the companies. Then mock PIs and interviews were also arranged. This helped me in my preparation,” says Soumya Sen, Asso- ciate Software Engineer at Accenture Services, who did B.Tech (CS) from KIIT University, Bhubaneswar.
The foremost criteria for campus recruitment are to understand the different levels of selection laid down by every organization. These include –PPT, Scrutiny of résumé, Aptitude Test, Group Discussion, Personal Interview, Final Review by Selection Committee and Final Selection Offer. “Recruitment in each and every institute has its own dynamics. We try to understand students and colleges’ dynamics,” says Dinesh Kumaran, Director-HR, Aspire Systems, which has been ranked 51 in this year’s ‘India’s Best Companies to Work for’ study commissioned by Great Place To Work® Institute India, in association with The Economic Times.
