Central Placement Cell opens registrations

By

The Central Placement Cell has begun its registrations of both placements and internships for the academic year 2015-16. The varsity’s CPC serves as a platform in providing quality placements to students in reputed multinationals, government organizations, NGO’s and private companies. It acts as an interface between companies and students, channelizing talent towards opportunity.

The CPC assures logistic support to companies from the very beginning of the recruitment process. The university is equipped with a variety of infrastructural facilities such as the Conference hall, Library, Equal Opportunity Cell (to empower students with physical disabilities), Training Laboratories, International Relation, etc. to facilitate the entire process.

The registration is quite a simple process. Interested students can create a login ID with a password at the CPC official website http://placement.du.ac.in. Registered students will be eligible to receive updates regarding placements and internships via emails and text messages. They’ll be provided with regular assistance and counselling for employment and entrepreneurship. The procedure includes a pre-placement presentation by the company, followed by the main placement process carrying a written test, group discussion and personal interview. The steps may vary as per the company’s discretion.

The recruitment process pumped up last year with over 850 students getting placed and pay packages weighing as heavy as Rs.8 lacs per annum. Multinationals like HCL Technologies, Wipro, Accenture, Genpact, and Tata Capital are in close liaison with the CPC. There was great hike in internship offers as well.

The Central Placement Cell – DU

By

The Central placement cell has been one of Delhi universities most successful initiatives. It has been started to bridge the gap between the bright, energetic and aspiring young talent of the University of Delhi and the Industry for meeting their personnel requirement. It is surely a great platform for students of those colleges which don’t have their own placement cell. ”CPC not only helped me to get recruited in a world class bank like Citi bank but also helped me in boosting my confidence and further developing my personality”, exclaims Paras Khanna ,an alumnus of Deshbandhu college.

The main endeavour of CPC is to get students placed in reputed Multinationals, government jobs, NGO’s and the private sector and enable them to reach the top echelons of the society. All registered students with CPC are also entitled to placement assistance, counselling for employment and even self-employment. This year the CPC went online and enabled both students and companies to register online itself. The registration started on29th September and ended on 2nd November.

The placement process mainly comprises of three major steps, the first being the pre placement process where placement presentations and slot allocations would take place, the next major step would be of placements where students would have to go through written tests, group discussions and personal interviews  and this would finally be followed by the job offers and monitoring.

The CPC website also contains the important guidelines and do’s and don’ts for students who are willing to sit for placements. CPC also held workshops to groom the students, brush up their communication and analytical skills.

SRCC does it again

By

After the big shots McKinsey and Bain, came the much awaited Deutsche Bank in the placement scene. It has always been pristine in every sense, as far as the job and pay package goes. Contrary to the jaw dropping odds which come to the front whenever Deutsche Bank comes for campus placements (of only one or two odd applicants being selected from a huge pool of hundreds and he/she being offered a whooping figure of 49 lakhs p.a.) this year they adopted a different strategy by employing more number of people and offering a lower package than what they usually offer.

Deutsche Bank visited SRCC campus on January 2, 2012 and invited candidates from SRCC, St. Stephens and LSR. The speaker of the day was Mr. Amit Bordia. The profile they offered was that of an analyst in the investment banking sector (domestic placement). Fortunately, there was no cut-off stated by the company to decide the eligible applicants. The package was an astounding figure of 10.5 lakhs + 3 lakhs + bonus (yearly). This pay package ranks as the highest so far in the brigade of dream companies with others like Bain offering 8.3 lakhs p.a and McKinsey giving 7.5-9.3 lakhs p.a.

50 students from SRCC were shortlisted for the final round of interviews which took place on January 7, 2012 at the Imperial hotel, Janpath. Out of these 50, 6 applicants (all from SRCC) got through and were offered placement in the Mumbai centre of Deutsche bank. The remarkable league which got through is – Mehak Nanner, Vijendar Aggarwal, Jennifer Sung, Chinmay Golecha, Tanvi Agarwal and Mayur More. With its 100% cut off, and 99% Economics Honours first semester toppers, SRCC surely continues to set newer and higher benchmarks. The dynamic students, who got through, help reiterate the same.

PACING PLACEMENTS

By

With the campus flooding with suited recruiters and apprehensive candidates, and gossip corridors filled with news of who bagged what company at what pay package, DUB brings to you a special report on the varsity’s placement scenario of for the year 2009-10.

Regulars like Merrill Lynch, Bain and Co., Future’s First, Parthenon Group, Accenture, Copal Partners, Capital One, Deolite, Hewitt Associates, UBS and the likes have been making rounds to colleges on the look out for the best prospective recruits.

The placements are expected to go around till February. For those who are yet to be placed, contacting your college placement cell and sending them your C.V. or getting in touch with the college representative of the DU’s Central placement Cell is a good option. Anyone can register and send in their applications for a fee of Rs.100.

Yati Suri, member of SRCC Placement Cell says, “A message to those applying would be to be confident and come across as a smart youth. My experience with Deolite tells me that excelling in academics is not the only criterion. Overall personality helps.”

A word of advice from Sukrit Khatri of St. Stephen’s College who recently got placed in Deutsche Bank is to never say never. “Getting placed is only a means; a lot has to be done to achieve the end. I recommend all 2nd years to do well in their exams and keep their options open.”

Here a few tips on how to cope up with the mounting pressures to make it or break it.

A general recruiter feedback clearly reflects the following key requirements.

1. Be aware of your course structure. Usually the candidates are short listed on the basis of their academics and then interviews and group discussions take place.

2. Highlight your credentials well. An impressive C.V. surely does the trick.

3. Be confident, alert and willing to learn more.

4. It’s always advisable to clear your doubts at the end of your interview.

5. Good looks and clean appearance is a must.

6. Reading helps. Make sure you have an opinion/idea of the current affairs. Avoid controversial topics

7. Be yourself.
