The Placement Season‍

The placement season is a time of a variety of emotions. Beginning with the student registration on the portal followed by the resume submission, a cycle of tests, assignments, and group discussions take place. Students apply to different companies based on the job description, profile, and pay. Day 1 begins on December 1, when companies are allotted two slots for interviewing students. This is followed by Days 2, 3, and 4 successively. The companies are classified into various days based on the pay, profiles, location, brand image, and their relation with the institute. The placement season is an experience that makes students be ready for any challenge that they might face in the future.
