Campus placement is the program conducted within educational institutes or in a common place to provide jobs to students pursuing or in the stage of completing the opted course. Industries visit the colleges to select students depending on their ability to work, capability, focus and Aim. The recruitment broadly consists of:
a) WRITTEN TEST
b) GROUP DISCUSSION
c) TECHNICAL INTERVIEW
d) HR INTERVIEW
Don’t get tensed all these rounds are only for a few companies, majority of the companies which look for mass recruitment conduct a written test followed by an interview that’s it!!! All the above mentioned rounds are nothing but means to eliminate people. One needs to survive this elimination process to ultimately get selected.
Different companies have different approach to select freshers. Some mainly focus on individual’s communication skills, some look for technical knowledge,some go for problem solving skills, ultimately the testing procedure is based on the job profile.
The number of people getting selected entirely depends upon the company’s requirement at that period of time. If a person’s profile meets the job profile he/she gets selected. Campus placement according to me is the easiest way of getting a job.
Why campus placement?
I want this to be a little dramatic so please bare with me….We have been studying all our life till now. Parents tell their children, when they are in 10th standard that it is the most important part of their life so they are supposed to work very hard for getting a good percentage and once they are done with that they will have a very bright future, children feel ecstatic about the deal and work very hard and hope their life would be happily ever after. But here it comes again when they join 11th standard or in our state intermediate…again the same crap and this time with increased intensity and pressure. Somehow they manage to get through this as well…and finally it’s down to engineering!!!! The question comes into your mind...Ok I worked like a donkey for hours together and ended up in this college...What’s next??? The first three years we enjoy...we don’t give damn about anything...and all of sudden you are in your final year...it’s as if everything happened in a split second!!!
People around you come up with questions regarding your life that completely freak you out…What after engineering?, Being the scariest of all.
There is time when everyone in the class feel masters is the best option and they book slots for GRE (in the end not more than 10% actually pursue M.S due to various reasons...that’s none of our concern) then there is time when everyone talks about M.TECH…suddenly people start joining GATE classes…half of them feel the competition is way too high and lose hope even before writing the exam…for this as well not more than 10 percent actually get a seat in IIT’s NIT’s…and very few actually appear for the interviews and pursue MTECH….
So what about the rest of the people in class??? Majority of people in the class end up taking a job. Some of them are focused from the very beginning that they are going to take up a job, some of them want a job because they couldn’t get into the university they applied for, some do it for experience so that that the cud pursue MBA after 2 years, some coz they have nothing in their min, and some coz their parents force them to take up a job…and the list goes on. So when you have decided to take up a job, why not try for the job that pays you higher than others.
“Trust me the best way of getting a job is campus placement...some might feel that they will apply off campus n all that but that should be secondary because in this country of 1 billion people….the competition is tremendous, you just can’t go out searching for job…But whereas when the company comes to your college the number of people competing for the job are comparatively very less, and the people competing against you are your fellow classmates which is I guess is better than competing against complete strangers coz you would have a clear idea about each and every person competing!!! More importantly your college being your home ground instills some confidence in you so it’s very easy to crack a placement on campus”
