Placement Scenario

Friends today’s topic is on Placement. We all are acquainted 
with this word. If not, then placement is the process through which students are placed in any company for doing job. If you have completed your bachelor’s then definitely you might have passed through this process. I had also passed through this phase. The following is the experience of mine.

There was one importance instance at which I had completed all the stages of the placement (Written Test-> Group Discussion->Interview). So I and my friend were awaiting results from the company which was seeking Mechanical Engineers. But I had horrible incident. After giving final Interview I waited for result for about 15 days. Then I contacted HR department of that company for getting the results of placement drive. Unfortunately that company was not replying. Suddenly one of my junior friend went for intern ship into the same company. So I contacted him to enquire about this issue. I was told by him they have recruited engineers from another college. No doubt they may recruit. In fact they had carried this recruitment drive in various colleges. But recruitment of all engineers from same college is little bit confusing. Do you think that they didn't find any single skilled eligible engineer from another college? Isn't it a big question? What made them to recruit number of employees from same college out of various colleges which they carried recruitment drive in it?? Did they receive any favor from that college? Till now it’s mystery for me.


I had also seen examples where companies come for placement drive in a college, conduct interviews after giving their presentation (Introducing their company) but then never give joining dates. So are they coming just for marketing their company product?? Or there is equation between HR department of college and company which is incomprehensible??

You all might have heard about this “To get job, you need recommender”. Means if you don’t have any relation in the company which you intend to go, there are less chances of your acceptance?? Does it mean that relation comes first than the eligibility? I don’t think so.

Some employees are also lured and cheated in the name of jobs and placements. This is the worst case which prevails in the market.

We all might have seen/heard that “x” student from “y” reputed institute got this much of package. Why is it so that less companies visit 3rd tier colleges? Does it mean that their students are less competent than others? Well, absolutely no! I have seen bright students even from the less 
acknowledged colleges.So should they be kept alienated from such placement drives? Not at all!! I definitely think they will get lucrative offers in future if they persist in their set direction.


No doubt there are very few companies which indulge in the
above mentioned gimmicks. But it affects a lot of students. 
But I think every student will get the necessary platform 
either today or tomorrow to showcase their TALENT if they 
have so. Because WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A 
WAY. Good Luck!!
