The Training Culture @ NIE
As part of the training activity, focused training for Aptitude, Technical Tests, Group Discussions, Facing Interviews and Speed Maths is imparted to all the pre-final year students who register with this office. The Placement Officer regularly contacts many IT-related and manufacturing organisations and forwards details of eligible students to the industry as and when needed.
The students from final year help the students of pre-final year in preparing them for the actual recruitment. There are two sessions, one during the tenure of the odd semester and the other that continues during the even semester. They hold various activities which include Aptitude tests, Group discussions, C tests, Technical tests, Verbal tests and Psychometric tests. Apart from these, at the end of every session a mock interview is held which simulates the actual recruitment process.
Further, interactive sessions with the students of final year who have been selected by the companies are frequently arranged. Here the students narrate their experiences during the interview process. They give facts / necessary information that would add on students' preparation.
Apart from these regular workshops are conducted by professionals of the above said fields to fine-tune the skills of the students. |
