Special care is taken in case of students who miss classes/examination due to
sports/games or cultural events. Re-exams and permission to submit assignments well
past deadlines are organized to encourage such students.
Students are provided with breakfast as well as snacks in the evening, after practice
sessions.
Standard sports uniforms as well as sports equipment are provided. Such students
also obtain their mandatory extra credits from participation in sporting activity.
5.1.11. Does the College have an institutionalized mechanism for the placement
of its students? What services are provided to help students identify job
opportunities, prepare themselves for interview, and develop entrepreneurship
skills?
College has a Placement Cell that alerts students to job opportunities and connects
them to potential employers on a regular basis through notice-board listings and a
group email ID.
The Placement Cell collects student resumes, invites lectures from businesses,
organizes mock aptitude tests, mock interviews and provides competency-mapping.
Teachers also provide students counseling on placements and job opportunities.
Students are encouraged to develop their entrepreneurial skills during food fests and
engage in small business activities on dedicated days.
Though personalized support is given, most students are able to find jobs for
themselves in a city like Bangalore and so their dependence on the Placement Cell is
limited.
Many students opt for higher studies even after getting selected through campus
interviews.
5.1.12. Give the number of students selected during campus interviews by
different employers (list the employers and the number of companies who visited
the campus annually for the last four years).
Many IT companies visit College for placement and require IT-specific skills and
in-depth knowledge in Mathematics and Physics.
Other students find jobs through networks developed during internship activities.
Alumni have been helpful in providing jobs which fall outside the purview of the
normal placement activities.
Companies which have come to College for placements are Amazon, Asian Paints,
Century Link, Cognizant, Decathlon, EMC2, EY, Infosys, Mphasis, Oracle, Peepal,
SAP Labs, Tech Mahindra, TCS, Tesco, Google, Wipro and many more.
These companies return every year to select our students which indicates that they
are employable in the corporate sector.
Feedback from employers during the next round of placement service indicates that
they are satisfied with the performance of our students.
Many schools and colleges in the city prefer to employ our students as teachers.
Large numbers of our students pursue higher education so the rush for placement is
not heavy.
A total of more than 400 students have been placed by these companies during the
four-year period.
