How can students prepare for placements?

 Placement success is rarely a last-semester miracle. Students who make it are those who began preparing from the first year. Here's how to begin:

First, start your internship at the earliest. It gives you a feel of the corporate world and teaches you certain etiquettes and manners that can't be taught at college. It helps to have some work experience, however short, to talk about during the placement interviews.

Moreover, work on your communication skills and other intangible skills. Recruiters today often value communication and interpersonal skills over academic excellence, especially for posts in the core sectors like management and commerce. Group discussions and case-study presentations are a good way to work on these skills.

Finally, practice, practice and practice! The selection process for campus placements usually involves an aptitude test, a group discussion and a series of interviews. The only way to get through this is to practice relentlessly with the help of your college's placement cell.

Seek live projects and industry exposure: Guest Lectures by working professionals, live projects with industries, and case competitions are some of the ways by which a student gets exposed to real-time business world and builds connections even before graduation

Have a good training & placement department: The role of a training and placement cell in a college is to build connections with recruiters and create training and internship opportunities for students. Choosing a college with such a good placement department can do half the job for you. For example, RDIAS has tie-ups with more than 250+ companies for on-campus placements and has helped more than 286+ students secure internships with renowned companies with pre-placement offers (PPO). Recently, companies like Amazon, Tata Capital, Deloitte, Wipro, EY, Accenture, and many more participated in the campus drive, giving students a fair idea about the companies they would be interviewing during the placement season.
