An Introduction To On-Campus Placement

Getting Job in a good company is every student's desire. The old method of recruitment was such that
students have to come to the company for getting placed. But now a days, this trend has been
changed. Now most of the placements take place On Campus. In On campus placements, students got
placed in the company called by their respective colleges. Many companies now visit High-reputation
colleges in order to find new talent.
So, the placement that is carried in a college is called On Campus Placement. On-campus
placements have become very popular method of hiring employees. With this, students who are eager
to get a job in a company can get their dream job without doing any extra work. In On-campus
placements, students don't even have to carry long documentaries as in most of the cases, the
company gives a form to students in which they have to fill their details. Thus company gets their data
through forms. The salary given to the selected students is also higher than the students who are
hired OFF-Campus.
For On-Campus placements, every college has different-different rules and regulations. Some
colleges allow their students to sit in exams for all called companies while others allow only one
company for consideration. On the basis of number of companies for which a student can apply, the
On-Campus can be divided into following two parts:
Single Appearance and
Double Appearance Placements.
Single Appearance Placements: In a college where a student can only appear in exam for only one
company, the placement is called Single Appearance Placement.
Double Appearance Placements: If a college allows students to appear in two or multiple companies
then the placement is called Double Appearance Placement.

The Placements, both for final jobs, and Summer Internships is an integral part of any institutes annual calendar of
activities.
The Department of Training & Placement is the backbone of any institute. From the very beginning the institute lays
greater emphasis on industrial training, practical training for Engineering and Management students. The students
are introduced to industrial practices through training in the institute workshops and in factories, installation works etc.
The Training and Placement Cell of the institute centrally handles campus placement of the Engineering and
Management students. The cell provides complete support to the visiting companies at every stage of placement
process. Arrangements for pre-placement talks, written tests, interviews and group discussions are made as per the
requirement of the visiting companies.

Introduction

Training and Placement Cell:


With the changing educational trends, versatility in educational courses,
availability of masses of qualified personnel, the competition for job
acquisition and job sustainability is becoming more and tougher. To get an
edge over the competitors, students are left with no choice but to add
values to their hard skills with soft skills to exhibit their true potential.
Hard skills:
Hard skills are academic skills, experience and level of expertise while soft
skills are self-developed, interactive, communication, human and
transferable skills. Most employers these days want to hire, retain and
promote persons who are dependable, resourceful, ethical and self
directed, having effective communication, willing to work and learn and
having positive attitude.
Soft skills:
Soft skills is a sociological term relating to a person's Emotional
intelligence quotient (EQ),the cluster of personality traits, social graces,
communication, language, personal habits, friendliness, and optimism that
characterize relationships with other people.
Soft skills are often described by using terms often associated with
personality traits, such as: optimism, common sense, responsibility, a sense
of humor, integrity and abilities that can be practiced (but require the
individual to genuinely like other people) such as: empathy, teamwork,
leadership, communication
Importance of Soft skills
Soft skills are increasingly sought out by employers in addition to standard
qualifications because persons soft skill EQ is an important part of their
individual contribution to the success of an organization. Soft skills are
personal attributes that enhance an individual's interactions, job
performance and career prospects. Unlike hard skills, which are about a
person's skill set and ability to perform a certain type of task or activity,
soft skills relate to a person's ability to interact effectively with coworkers
and customers and are broadly applicable both in and outside the
workplace. It's often said that hard skills will get you an interview but you

need soft skills to get (and keep) the job.


With the onset of economic liberalization, the Indian market is also
becoming global, so the attributes of soft skills are to be imbibed by Indian
youth to show their real potential at intra and international levels.
Understanding the importance of this newly raised important aspect,
Training and Placement cell of Department of Technology have initiated
programs, and activities for developing soft skills in the students.

personalities in different field to deliver talk which enhance students
knowledge. Seminars are arranged where students are given topics related
to syllabus to speak, which build up confidence among the students,. The
Department encourages the students to participate in seminars,
workshops, conferences, debates etc. to exhibit their research potential.
