BEST PRACTICES

Title of the Practice

VIKASA- Sculpting promising futures for students.

Goal: Vikasa the Career Guidance and Placement Cell plays a major role in sculpting out a

bright future for the students. The placement records have shown sustained excellence and

steady growth in the last decade and are one of the major reasons for the demand for admission.

The Cell aims to empower students with life-long career decision making skills and conducts

career guidance, training and placements as an integrated activity.

The Context: One of the greatest challenges facing our nation today is the gap between

education and employability, by equipping students with the skills and attitude. In 2012, the

institution took a conscious decision to set up a Placement Cell with a fulltime Placement

Officer and a well-planned strategy of training. Vikasa grew out of this realization, offering what

the college terms VAPS or Value Addition Programmes to enhance the employability quotient

of the students.

The Practice:

The Value Addition Programme (Comprehensive training programme) that has to be

implemented for each semester is discussed with the principal and IQAC and fine-tuned

based on inputs from industry and feedback from students.

The Team of Placement Cell now designs the schedule for the entire year.

Program Design:

Week Of Welcome (WOW)- Vikasa conducts an 8 hour orientation program” Learning

with a difference” section wise for freshers. The program provides opportunities for

students to learn more about campus resources, strategies for academic success, ways to

get involved in various extra- curricular activities and also start thinking in terms of

career goals.

Value Addition Program from 1st semester to 6th semester.

The training program includes Communication Skills, Aptitude Test training, Knowledge

Building, Competency Building and Placement training.

I year: 55 hours

II year: 58 hours

III year: 34 hours training and Placement Drives.

Components of Placement Readiness Training Programme

SWOT Analysis

Resume writing

Mock Aptitude Test and feedback

Group discussion- basics and practice

Interview basics

Mock interviews -one-to-one practice


A slightly different schedule is followed for PG students because of the much smaller

number of students as well as differing industry requirements.

Skill Development: The Placement Cell is associated with Pragathi the Professional

Development Cell to offer skill development Certificate courses in areas like Tally,

Microsoft Office, Digital Marketing, Online Trading which directly enhance

employability. The cell also offers training in Advanced Excel as part of VAP for all

Final Year students.

Career Guidance sessions: Vikasa ensures that students get adequate exposure to

global education and employment scenario and opportunities through interaction with

industry professionals and dignitaries from U.S and U.K universities.

Internship programmes: Vikasa organises internship opportunities for students to

provide them a valuable first-hand acquaintance with industry. Students have done

internships with Aditya Birla Pantaloon, Idea Infinity, We Chat, Investwise, Angel

Broking, Axis Bank etc.

Campus Recruitment: A well-structured and systematic campus recruitment

programme with clearly defined rules is successful in bringing a large number of highly

reputed companies to the campus.

Evidence of Success: After implementing the extensive value addition programs for

placements, there has been a sharp increase in placements in the college. The number of

highly reputed companies and the nature of job profile being offered has shown steady

improvement. This was seen even in certain years in which there was a decrease in

market demand.

Problems Encountered:

To sustain interest of students across 6 semesters.

To accommodate VAP training schedules within the packed academic calender.

To ensure that the benefit of placements reach the largest number of students by limiting

offer letters.

To create a proper schedule for company visits as sometimes, a TIER A company might

be late in approaching.

Resources:

Financial resources are required to conduct the VAP programmes effectively through

qualified trainers.

Good IT infrastructure is required to conduct online aptitude tests, for communication

and documentation.

Larger auditorium to accommodate large groups of sstudents is required.

1.Title of the Practice

personality development of students too. Business lab activities help students develop employability

skills and competence which helps them in their placements.

4. The Practice: Business Lab is managed by faculty members of the department. Proposed

activities for the year are discussed by the Head of the Department with the staff members and
