Introduction to Campus Recruitment Procedure
Every student chooses an educational institute on the basis of three important factors-
A. What would be the quality of education imparted?
B. How would the education benefit the student academically or otherwise?
C. The potential jobs that would be offered on the campus to the students who pass out of the institute.
The last factor is apparently the most important criteria that would be evaluated by the students in choosing a
particular academic institution. The campus recruitment procedure has become one of the most popular avenues
to recruit people into companies.
Companies hire engineering graduates into roles that range from software application development, delivery
roles, software/ hardware testing, research and development, application maintenance network security and
support etc. Management graduates are hired for roles in business development, IT consulting, business
analysis, customer relationship management, HR roles, sales, marketing, finance etc.
Before a student braces himself to face the arduous task of appearing for the campus selection procedure, there
are a few points that he has to bear in mind
1. Interact with senior students who have been hired into different organizations. Taking a cue from the
seniors would effectively help a student to know the areas that would require extensive preparation and
the ones that wouldnt.
2. Interact with the faculty and understand how the technical interviews could be facilitated.
3. Map your strengths to the profile of the job. This is extremely important because there may be scenarios
in which a student may have more than one offer at hand. Understanding the profile of the job and the
opportunities for growth within the organization, besides the CTC offered would benefit the students to
narrow down their choices.
4. Study and understand the philosophy, culture and values of the companies that recruit college
graduates.
Campus Recruitment Procedure:
Most colleges that offer campus recruitment facilitate the recruitment through a special department known as
the placement department. The placement department is steered by a placement officer who oversees the entire
recruitment process.
The various stages that are involved in a typical campus recruitment program are as follows-
Pre-placement talk
Aptitude tests
Group discussion
Technical Interview
HR Interview.
1. Pre Placement Talk:
The pre-placement talk is a presentation that is given by the recruiting companys HR and recruiting team.
Various aspects of the company such as its profile, history, milestone achievements, organizational goals, its
vision, mission, the job profile, products, services, product lines, customers, locations, branches,
organizational chart, senior management etc. The role of the job offered as well as its description along with
the selection criteria, CTC, designation etc. are also explained in detail. Generally the pre-placement talk is
presented by a senior member of the delivery or the HR team.
The general format of the selection process remains the same across companies that hire campus graduates.
Minor variation may be present. Selection happens in the following stages.
2. Aptitude Test:
Aptitude test is conducted to evaluate how effectively a student could respond to a task or a situation and
their communication skills. In short, this area tests a candidates problem solving ability. The areas that are
normally tested are numerical or quantitative ability, logical reasoning, verbal ability and data sufficiency.
www.campusrecruitment.co.in i
a. Quantitative Aptitude:
Numerical ability entails multiple choice questions that are from the topics mostly covered in high school
along with some advanced topics. The various topics from which questions may be asked are Number theory,
Averages, Ratio and proportion, Time and Distance, Percentages, mixtures and allegation, permutations,
combinations, probability etc. The purpose of this test is to assess the problem solving ability of a candidate
under constraints in time. This area can be effectively countered if a student prepares sufficiently beforehand.
b. Verbal Ability:
This area tests the communication skills, reading ability and also the grammatical knowledge of a candidate.
The type of questions that may be asked in verbal ability include grammar based questions (sentence
correction/ error identification), vocabulary based questions (para jumbles, synonyms, antonyms, fill in the
blanks, cloze passages), idioms and phrases, reading comprehension and occasionally descriptive writing
(essays, formal/informal letters, analytical/ issue writing section). It is mandatory for a candidate to have basic
rules of English in place before he or she appears for the campus placement process.
c. Analytical and Logical Reasoning:
This section tests the logical reasoning and the analytical ability of a candidate. The questions are generally
given in the form of puzzles and a set of questions follow the puzzle. It is required by a candidate to rationally
approach the puzzle by interpreting the logic. Verbal based reasoning questions such as cause and effect,
assertion and reasons may also be asked.
d. Data Interpretation and Data Sufficiency:
Data is presented in various forms such as bar graphs, pie charts and data should be interpreted accordingly.
In data sufficiency, a problem is presented with some data and a candidate has to determine if the given
amount of data is sufficient for problem solving.
The aptitude round cannot be underestimated because it is a process of eliminating candidates who do not
have enough problem solving abilities, reasoning skills or acceptable levels of communication. While a few
companies may lay more emphasis on communication and numerical abilities, a few others may stress upon
analytical abilities. Regardless of how well a candidate fares academically, he or she should prepare
sufficiently for the aptitude test as this stage in an inevitable phase of any campus selection process.
3. Group Discussion:
Those selected in the aptitude test will be called for group discussion. Group discussion is a process of
selection rather than a process of elimination. The recruiting team will evaluate certain personality traits like
confidence, communicating with the team, participation, ability to present ones views in a clear and concise
manner, interpersonal skills, leadership skills etc. These are the traits that the employers would want to see in
their potential employees. The main intention of group discussion is to assess the behavior of a candidate in a
group. In the GD round, there are usually a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 10 candidates. The topic of the
discussion is normally related current topics, hypothetical situations, problematic situations, abstract topics
etc. Students who are confident, have a clear thought process and are able to articulate their thoughts lead the
group discussion. Hence, students need to be positive, confident and dynamic in their attitude in this round.
They should also develop effective listening skills that would enable them to listen and understand others
perspective. Students are advised to keep abreast of current affairs and are expected to familiarize themselves
with the popular topics in news. They are advised to form small groups and discuss various topics which
would bolster their efforts to successively participate in the group discussions.
4. Technical Interview:
The pre final round of the selection process is the technical interview. A student appearing for the technical
round should be thorough with the fundamental aspects of his subject. While a student may not be expected
to know the entire subject inside out, he or she is expected to be proficient in the basic aspects of the subject
and able to present the subject in a well formatted manner to his interviewers. It would greatly benefit the
students if they would have completed their projects on their own rather than plagiarizing (copying) from
other sources. This would exhibit the ingenuity of a student and increase his chances of clearing the technical
round. Students who have interned in good organizations have an edge above the others in the technical
round as company internships are greatly valued by the recruiters.
www.campusrecruitment.co.in ii
5. HR Interview:
The HR interview is more of a two way process. A student is assessed for his communication, attitude,
confidence, flexibility, enthusiasm, behavioral skills etc. The company HR will market their company through
the HR round. A student should be confident, but not over confident in the HR round. He or she should be
honest and polite in answering the questions and also ask questions to the company HR regarding basic
policies, procedures and of course, the CTC. Many a time it is quite common for technically strong candidates
to fail to get through the HR round. This may happen if the candidate has poor presentation skills, is
overconfident or is rude or extremely timid in his or her attitude. Self-grooming is very important for a
candidate to clear this round of the campus selection.
The recruitment process weighs heavily on the attitude of a candidate. A candidate should exhibit positive
thinking, learnability, proper body language, confidence, clarity of thought, interpersonal skills, future goals
etc. This segment has about 75% weightage.
Academic knowledge has a weightage of about 10%. This test the students fundamental knowledge of the
core subjects in his or her branch and also its practical use.
Communication skills carry a weightage of about 10%.
Preparing a good resume is equally important while bracing for the campus selection process. The resume is
the first impression a recruiter has of the candidate. The resume should be prepared in such a way that it
reflects a candidates capabilities, his strengths, achievements and areas of interests. Hence sufficient efforts
should go into preparing a good resume. For further reading, refer to Resume section of this book.
Knowledge about current affairs and extra-curricular activities carry about 5% weightage. These areas should
also be concentrated upon to increase the chances of making it through the campus interviews.
Thus, a thorough and systematic preparation in each of the areas mentioned above would go a long way in
ensuring that a candidate gets through the right company.

PARTS OF SPEECH
Parts of speech in a language mean the role or part played by a word in a sentence. This is similar to the roles we
play in our lives. In one place you might be a student, in another a friend, yet in another, if you are working, you
might be a boss or a subordinate. We also play different roles at home when we interact with different people. In
all the roles we play, our role and interaction depends upon the relationship with the people with whom we are
interacting. Similarly, words are categorized according to the role or part they play in a sentence. Seeing a word,
we cannot categorize it as a noun/ pronoun/ verb/ adjective etc. In order to categorize a word, we need to know
what role it plays in the sentence. Words are normally categorizes into 8 parts of speech. Here we give you the
categories with some examples:
