Getting campus interviews for your students is one of the most important aspects that is expected while selecting a best management college in India. Campus placement records as one of the important parameter.
Placement Officer or Placement Cell
If your college doesn’t have a Placement Officer or a Placement Cell, then it is the first and foremost point to look at. Trying to get campus placement to a college is similar to a recruitment agency trying to run their business without a recruiter. Your Placement Cell is must and if you are serious about campus placement, they are the most important aspect to make it successful. Resources in placement cell should be dedicated and well recognized.
Training
This is one of the most important aspects to improve your placement records. Some colleges start their training in the final year, but in our experience colleges that start from first year onwards. Your training should focus on subjects that are related to industry experience. Companies no longer just look for academic excellence, aptitude and group discussion. Yes, they are the corner stone of an interview but more and more companies are looking at how well your students are prepared to work in an industry. Your training should be focused on real world problem and what the industry currently requires.
Placing Right Candidates
When a Company visits for placement, there may be a tendency to place as many students as they can, it is extremely important you place candidates who are ready and eligible for that role. If you think if a student is not ready, though has the qualification, you are better off in not sending that student for the interview. When companies visit one of the aspect they see and one of the aspect their company governance board and senior executive management see is “Attended vs recruited” numbers. This gives them an indication of which colleges have high quality students. If the colleges expect large numbers, it is even worth getting eligible students from nearby colleges rather than placing students who you know won’t get through.
