Vashi2Panvel.com: Navi Mumbai: March 14: With one and a half month still away from their exams and hopefully their engineering degree, 25 lucky under graduates from four engineering colleges of Navi Mumbai have already got their first jobs, with salaries not less than 21 thousand rupees each. This has been possible because of the first campus placement being conducted by “L&T InfoTech” through a centralized selection process earlier this month.

Around 300 plus students from four colleges had gathered at the campus, which included 68 students from SIES, 90 from Terna and the rest from MGM, AC Patil and Pillais’ College of Engineering. By the end of the day, 25 students were offered a job. SIES Graduate School of Technology, Nerul, walked away with the maximum laurels, with 12 of their students being selected.

The procedures started with the aptitude test, which had a major paper on English followed by another on Applied Matrixes Programming. 80 students were shortlisted through this and called for the interview. The interview again had two sessions: the first was the technical followed by the HR interview. By 9.30 in the night, the final results were declared.

For the 25 students who had a definite glimpse into the future, it was a glorious end to a great day, but even for those who had to walk away depressed, it was an experience that may have been an eye-opener as it brought upfront to the students what is expected out of an employee. When some of the so-called toppers of the colleges had to stand aside, while the smart, knowledgeable and the skilled ones snatched the jobs. As a result of globalization proper spoken and written English is gaining much importance with their clients often based in other countries, proper communication skills is mandatory.
