Placement
KSOM - one among the top four institutes in Eastern
India - attracts the best of corporate houses. The
institute strives to give the students a holistic and
real-time management education, thus empowering
them to become committed and competent
managers.
The Placement Committee comprises of a group
of faculty members, ably supported by the
representatives of the Student Placement
Committee. To keep the entire process
transparent, most major decisions are taken in
consultation with the students.
The preparation for placements takes place
much ahead of the placement season. This
begins with the soft skill training where all the
students are evaluated and individually
assessed by competent trainers. Students are
guided to work on their areas of improvement.
They also get ample inputs to improve their
performance before the placement season
begins.
The Placement department communicates
regularly about the job opportunities from the
companies willing to visit the campus. The
companies spell out the recruitment process,
after which the program is ne-tuned according
to the requirements. The institute provides
essential support to facilitate on-campus
placement process of companies. This usually
involves activities like sorting the resumes,
collection of appropriate data, providing
infrastructural facilities for conducting
evaluation activities such as written exam, group
discussion and personal interview (in person or
through video/tele conferencing).
