ALL ABOUT CAMPUS INTERVIEWS

CAMPUS RECRUITMENT DRIVES

What Do Companies Expect?

The IT field is a constantly growing one, where the technology of yesterday is a relic today. There is a wide gap between the requirement and supply of the skilled manpower. So there is a very high demand for such capable people. They are looking forward for such people and expect their employees to be dynamic enough to have the aptitude for continuous learning and a willingness to work more. Software development is teamwork, so the companies expect reasonably good communication skills. It’s enough that you have the capability to express your thoughts freely.

The Selection Procedure

Most of the companies follow the similar methodology for campus selections. We feel that the companies adopt more a filtering approach to selection strategy in initial stages.

Many companies mandate a 60%-75% average in the qualifying degree. Few companies look for good track record from school days itself. Consistent performance is also sometimes taken into account: some companies require that the candidates should have no arrears.

Next comes the written test. The test topics and weight age given for each of the subject tested varies between the companies. The aim is to select the candidates with good aptitude that includes C aptitude and general aptitude (analytical aptitude and reasoning). Depending on the companies the other subjects tested varies. When you are selected in the written test, some companies have Group Discussion for further filtering of the candidates.

Finally you have personal interview. Depending on the company there may be one or two interviews; in case of technical session and HR/Stress interviews. Performance in interviews is crucial in the selection process because it is where you are evaluated fully and final decision is made on your selection.
