ABSTRACT

The campus placement here at Delhi Technological University has always

been the most talked about affair and eagerly awaited among the final year

students. Rightly so, as reputation of a college is determined these days by

the placement offers. Even before getting admission in the college, students,

especially their parents are determined in finding the salaries they hope to

get after 4 years from then by getting placed in the company of their dreams.

Owing to its reputation, our college sees a plethora of companies lining up to

recruit some of the best minds this country has to offer.

The report deals with various aspects of placements at DTU as well my

personal experience with the placement session.

INTRODUCTION

The entire placement session is managed by the placement coordinators;

students elected by the respective branches; in our college. They have the

responsibility of managing the entire placement session in a lucid manner

which involves not only calling the companies but also making

arrangements for them on the day of arrival. This responsibility is the single

most important thing that can be entrusted to a student by his classmates as

in time to come he alone will be responsible for getting all his classmates

placed in reputed companies.

COMPANIES

The college lists the companies that would be visiting the campus in various

categories, single important being the salary being offered as well the

reputation the company has. The various categories are

1. SUPER

This category is given to the companies either offering salary greater than

seven lakhs per annum or if the reputation of the company is such that salary

being offered, even if lesser, is of no object for students. This list includes

some of the heavy weights of the industry not only in India but even abroad.

It will be safe to assume that this tag is given to the best of the companies

the industry has to offer. Some of the companies included are Facebook,

Google, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Indus Insights, ZS associates

etc. Now each branch has its set of super companies, for example civil has

its set of super companies like Bechtel, Fluor Daniel. Now the salary being

offered by them is comparatively lesser than their counterparts in computer

engineering, software and electronic branches .Its because of these

companies the average package of the students of our college barely

crosses 5 lacs. Unfortunately for civil not many super companies came tovisit our campus owing to the callous attitude been adopted by our

placement coordinator.

2.A+


7/12

This category is given to companies offering greater than 5 lacs per annum

to the students. Now this list although contain the lesser heavy weights but

in no means lesser in reputation than their predecessors. Getting placed in

these companies is by no means a tad bit easier than the previous ones. On

the contrary this category attracts most applications from the students as the

cutoffs for preliminary selection is lesser than the super companies .Some of

the companies included in this list are Maruti Suzuki, Yamaha, Michelin etc.

3.A

This category includes companies giving salaries in the range of 3 lacs to 5

lacs. Owing to this fact, this list also contains the largest number of

companies. For civil a majority of companies belonged to this category, the

primary reason being that list of companies called in the first place was

already meager. So to prevent double placements this step had to be taken bythe placement department, thus depriving civil students off the respect a

person commands on getting multiple offers. Some of the companies in this

category are L&T, SMEC, GS construction, Triune energy, WSP group etc

4.B

This category includes companies which offer salaries lesser than 3.5 lacs.

These companies are supposed to be the last resort or the first step for

the students owing to different scenarios depending upon whether it is the

end of beginning of the placement session respectively. Getting placed in

these companies is a cakewalk for the intelligent ones, a fact well frowned

upon by the by their counterparts as these companies are targeted for

average students who consider not having a shot at A+ and Super companies

PLACEMENT POLICY

1. Students should be dressed in proper formal attire during the placementprocedure.

2. Students should report for all the rounds on time. Latecomers will not be

entertained. And, make sure you do attend the PPT of the company you are

applying for.


8/12

3. Public posting of the placement schedule of DTU on the internet is strictly

prohibited.

4. If a student has applied for a Recruiter he/she has to come for the

recruitment process.

If the student fails to turn up for the whole process, the student will be

debarred for the complete placement session of 2012-2013.

5. If the student gets placed in a company before the recruitment process of

any other company in the same category is completed the student has no

option to reject his previous offer or to wait till the procedure for the latter

company is completed.

For instance there are two companies A and B, and A has declared its result

while B is yet to declare the final results.The student who has been shortlisted in both has no option to reject the offer

made to him by Company A.

The selected student will be replaced by the first student in the waiting list of

the Recruiter.

If any of the above is not strictly followed by any student, the student can

be debarred permanently for the placement session.

MY TYRST WITH PLACEMENT SESSION

The list of companies I sat for is quite big giving me plenty of experience and

things to learn and improve upon. I sat for nearly 25 companies, a daring feat,leading to a considerably long session for me. In the coming parts, I will discuss

not only the companies I sat for in chronological order but also the reasons I

perceived for rejection and the lessons learnt.

Here is the list of some of the companies I sat for in chronological order.

1.THE SMART CUBE (TSC)This was the first company I sat for. I was really excited and looking forward to

my first ever interview . The company was given the category of A+. It was just

the beginning of August and the placement session had just started. The first week

of August saw a barrage of Super companies lining up to recruit students right atthe beginning of the placement season and rightly so, as coming early ensured that

the best and the brightest came to them. The recruitment procedure consisted of 2

stages of written exams, the first being quantitative and the next , verbal. Both the

stages were eliminating and separate shortlists were created after each stage.

Competition for this company was fierce and why wont it be, who doesnt want

to get placed in the first week itself.

Though I didnt get placed in it served as a great experience for my long journey

thereafter. I got to know first hand what type of questions the aptitude and verbal

written exams have and how to fair better in them than the others.

2. MARUTI SUZUKI

The company conducted written test at the campus which comprised of technical

questions pertaining to the field of civil. It was subsequently followed by a

psychometric test previously unheard of by many of my classmates. Vague as they

may sound to any amateur those questions are a tough nut to crack. One easily

looses the track of questions being asked to judge ones personality and pertaining

to anywhere from general behavior and qualities. Only two students were

shortlisted for the final interview. To all our surprise Maruti recruited a record

number of students both from mechanical as well as electrical totaling to number

of 35. This jumpstarted the entire placement session and upped the hopes ofeveryone at the campus.

3. Z.S.ASSOCIATES

The company was of super category and was offering the profile of business

technical associate and business operations associate. Owing to its popularity a lot


10/12

of good quality students applied for this company. Written test consisted of

general aptitude test which tested the basic aptitude of students.

4. BECHTEL

Everyone was eagerly waiting for this company in our class as the company hadstellar reputation not only in India but also throughout the world. It is the largest

contractor in United States of American and only second in the world. I listened to

the pre placement talk which much attention hoping not to miss any significant

detail in it. The written test was conducted first which comprised of both technical

and general verbal questions. To our surprise, some of the best students in our

class were not able to clear the written test. I couldnt clear the Group discussion

round sadly and this was my first ever group discussion

5. JINDAL GROUP

Jindal group came to college to recruit from multiple branches and were offering agood salary. The major drawback of joining the company was that their industry

were based in rural areas of Chattisgarh. But that didnt seem to dampen the spirits

of the students who were determined to join the largest steel maker of India. Itopped the written test. The process later consisted of interview session held at

their office in Gurgaon. The fear of joining the company and going to Chattisgarh

made a lot of selected students having a cold feet leading them to screw their

interviews. Later on we got to hear the comical answers students gave leading the

recruiters not to select any student having a GPA of more than 7.5 so this was

really unfortunate and dis heartening for me. But I didnt loose hope and tried my

level best for rest of the companies.

6. TECHNIP

It is a major player in the design aspect of civil engineering projects in the oil

sector. After attending the pre placement talks I was really looking forward to ace

the written technical test and I did clear the written test but failed in the interviewsadly. Written paper was different for all the branches which reduced the

competition. The selection result brought much cheer to students of our class as 4

of them got selected which they were not expecting at all. Two of my friends got

selected in this company which brought a very good news for my group of friends.

7. L&T CONSTRUCTIONFinally, it was my day the and got placed in it. After waiting endlessly for the day

when I too get the pleasure of finally getting a job, it finally came. The process

comprising written test followed by personal interviews. Written test was

conducted in our college but the interviews were held in Galgotia group of

institutions, Noida. Again, I topped the written test and this time I succeeded in the

interview process as well. Results of Personal interviews were announced after 2


11/12

months. This company really tested my degree of patience and finally on 8 th

march, results were announced . It was an indeed the happiest day of my life.

CONCLUSIONS

The placement session 2012-13 has been the happiest time of my life so far.

I was really looking forward to it right from my last exam of 6 th semester

ended and finally, it was the month of august and the placement session

began on a good note with so many companies coming right from the day

one. I did have to wait for so long to get my first job offer ever but it was

really a good experience for me and a good platform to learn. Hopefully, all

my fellow students would get placed soon and we will have 100% placement

record for yet another year.
