Placements are crucial for any student and most campuses in the City go that extra mile to ensure smooth placements.
The managements chalk out elaborate training programmes for the students, which include mock interviews, brief them about the history and working culture of the companies that come in for recruitment and corporate discipline.
Metrolife interacted with college managements and a few students to understand the placement procedure and the preparation that go into ensuring a smooth flow. College managements say that they work in advance to make sure that the best companies come in for recruitment.
The Garden City College is perhaps the only college in the City that holds a job fair for its students. Dr Joseph V G, chairman, Garden City Group of Institutions points out that the college calls in for registrations from students for placements well in advance.
"We understand what the students expect and work accordingly. We hold a mega job fair and a mini job fair, where we have more than 54 companies coming in from across the country," informs Joseph.
Sen B Mathews, assistant professor and director, Talent Transformation Team, Centre for Placement and Corporate Relations (CPCR) says, "The placement team and talent transformation team, in our college, focus on the professional development of the
students and train them to get an entry into the corporate world. The team works in exploring and identifying career opportunities for graduates and post-graduates through regular visits and interaction with companies from diverse sectors."
While some students are happy with the opportunities that come during placements, others feel that the college can do better when it comes to choosing the companies.
S Ruthvik, a final-year student of MBA (finance and marketing), East Point Institute of Management Studies feels that the companies that come for recruitment to his college could have been better.
"We are trained and prepared to face the competition in the corporate world, but the college needs to do more to ensure that better, bigger companies need to come in. We find that most of the time only BPOs come and we are not interested in joining a BPO," he says.
Vijetha Simha, an MBA student of Sheshadripuram Institute of Management Studies, feels that it is essential to start one's career in a good company. "Colleges should make an attempt to contact good companies and update the students regarding the openings and also convince the companies to consider the college for campus placements."
Students like Varun V Nair, first-year MBA, CMR Institute of Technology are ambitious. "Through campus placements, I hope to get an exposure not only into the corporate world but also an insight into the service industry, production and other creative fields. Our college has companies coming in from various domains, which offer students a bright opening in their desired field," says Varun.
Nishi with PES Institute of Technology feels that all professional courses are designed to give students the ability to develop their career to its fullest. "My college does well in ensuring that the students are trained in skills, networking and brand handling. It helps if you are up to date on current affairs and specialised in something. The recruitments are good in our placement cell," says Nishi.
