About the dept
The department provides comprehensive training to students who aspire for various national and multinational organizations that recruit fresh talent through campus, and off campus drives. The consistent placement record illustrates the contributions of the department since its inception.
Comprehensive Placement Training is a full semester rigorous placement-training program. This training constitutes the following modules:
-
1.Verbal
- 2.Soft Skills
- 3.Quantitative Aptitude
- 4.Reasoning
- 5.Coding Ability
Verbal Ability
The recruiting companies have started focussing on testing all the areas of English language among students these days. They follow international standard language testing patterns in the placement tests. Keeping this scenario in view, the faculty of the CSS department plan the training schedules on Basic Grammar, Advanced Grammar, Critical Reading besides Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary based topics, and Writing Skills. This training will not only support students to attend placement tests but also help them to take competitive exams and other language tests for admission into universities abroad.
Soft Skills
Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Skills are the initial focus. Once students attain these two skills, the emphasis will be on Grooming, SWOT, and Resume Preparation. Then, students will be given an opportunity to participate in mock Group Discussions. Finally, Mock Interviews will be conducted. At every phase, students receive inputs and feedback from their respective faculty. This focussed training will make students industry-ready.
Quantitative Aptitude
Quantitative Aptitude measures the ability of an individual to solve numerical and mathematical problems related to real life situations. It enables the students to develop problem-solving skills by understanding, analysing, and applying the skills imparted by the faculty to find possible solutions. Quantitative Aptitude is tested in various competitive examinations like CAT, MAT, GMAT, XAT, GRE and hence, required for both higher studies and Campus Placements.
