1. What is Campus Recruitment?

Campus recruitment is a strategy for sourcing, recognizing, and employing young talents for internship and entry-level positions. Campus recruitment usually involves companies working with a university/college's career hubs to interview students and recent graduates.

2. Campus Recruitment Process: VISHWA's Campus Recruitment Training Module and Methodology

Knowing the general campus recruitment procedure can help candidates prepare well and feel more confident for all the steps involved in the employment process. Here are the phases of campus recruitment drives.

2.1 Checking Eligibility

First, you need to know about the eligibility criteria and other significant standards a company has set for recruitment. Ensure you satisfy the qualification requirements before applying for the interview. Organizations will only interview candidates who meet these requirements and select the best among them.

2.2 Written Examination

Once you have decided on the companies you want to apply to, prepare for a written test. The written test usually comprises general aptitude and logical reasoning questions. However, the nature of the questions may vary depending on the position you are applying for. For instance, if you are applying for a software engineer job, the written exam may test your programming knowledge.

2.3 Group Discussion (GD)

On a few occasions, the general discussion round is ignored. But many companies still use this stage to filter candidates. In this round, a group of students (usually 7-10 members) are given a topic to discuss. Once the discussion begins, the candidates are judged based on their confidence, communication skills, listening & reading ability. The latest news and current affairs are given as discussion topics in the GD round, so it is a good practice to brush up on your knowledge.

The soft skills training from VISHWA enhances candidates' communication skills. Practice discussion classes will also be conducted to help students talk without hesitation in their group discussion rounds. Here some soft skill offerings covered under our courses:

2.4 Technical Interview

This is a one-on-one round that tests a candidate's technical knowledge related to your profession. It is crucial to do well in this round as it will likely determine whether you have the right technical skills to do the job.

2.5 HR Interview

An HR interview is conducted to evaluate a candidate's strengths, weaknesses, the ability to handle the job and analyze if you are the correct fit for the job. Performing well in this round is paramount to improving your chances of getting your preferred work. The CRT course structure also covers training candidates for HR rounds as they play a crucial role in interview process. From improving the interpersonal skills to commonly asked interview questions, VISHWA's CRT courses cover them all.

2.6 Subsequent Job Discussion

3. Tips to Ace Campus Recruitment Drives

Now that you have a clear picture of the different steps involved in campus recruitment, here are some tips that can help you perform well during campus placements.

3.1 Prepare a Well-Worded Resume

A resume is a great way to market your skills to the recruiters. A good resume is a tool to convince your employers that you have what it takes and are worth interviewing. Craft a well-written resume that highlights your skills, education, and significant accomplishments.

3.2 Proficiency in Your Areas of Interest

Excellent technical knowledge related to the job is what excites the recruiters. Your knowledge and ability to communicate extemporaneously about a subject will be the deciding factor in an interview. Develop your knowledge in your areas of interest so that it becomes easy to recall information and perform well in the job interview.

3.3 Enhance Communication Skills

In India, most businesses use the English language for communication, and in a globalized world, proficiency in English is essential to communicate with people abroad. Possessing the technical knowledge alone won't cut it, as the recruiters will also test your communication skills. So, work on your English writing and speaking skills to bolster your interview preparations. Try to communicate in English with your friends and read newspapers on a daily basis to build and expand your vocabulary.

3.4 Practice is Pivotal

As you know, there will be multiple tests to test your knowledge. It is wise to take practice tests for aptitude, coding, communication skills, etc., to improve your test-taking ability and problem-solving skills. There are several mock tests available online that help you prepare for recruitment. Further, you can access online discussion forums to discuss solutions to complex problems. Utilize your spare time to solve as many practice problems as you can.

3.5 Mock Interviews

Campus recruitment drives will probably be your first time going into a one-to-one interview session. The first-time experience can be quite tense and nerve-wracking. However, there is a way to deal with your fears. Attending mock interviews can come in handy to overcome your interview jitters. Usually, the colleges will conduct mock interviews to prepare their students, and ensure you participate in this activity to prepare effectively for the interviews. You can also practice with your relatives/friends to support your preparation.

3.6 Keep Tabs on the Latest Trends

Recruiters are on the lookout for well-informed candidates. So, staying updated on the latest industry developments is essential. Browse the web, read articles/magazines related to your field and learn as much as possible. Expanding your knowledge will also help you stand out in scenarios like group discussions, and it gives employers an impression that you possess strong domain knowledge.

4. Benefits of On-Campus Recruitment Campaigns

You may ask, why should I consider campus recruitment? Wouldn't waiting till graduation improve my job prospects?

On-campus recruitment is a great way to get a job in a reputable organization before graduation. There are several advantages to being recruited through on-campus recruitments, and listed below are some of them. Let's dive in.

Saves Time & Effort :

In this digital era, every process is sped up and fast-paced. Seeking a job after graduation takes up a lot of time and effort. However, campus recruitments help candidates save valuable time, as they need not worry about applying for different positions through job portals or traveling to many cities to explore jobs. The coordination between the universities and companies brings career opportunities to your doorstep.
The convenience of campus recruitment is unparalleled; a foot-in-the-door opportunity for a good job is extremely valuable.

More Job Opportunities:

Stats suggest that 85% of jobs are filled through networking; in fact, according to CNBC, 70% of the jobs are not listed publicly. Early in their careers, students do not have the ability or time to establish a good network and look for employment opportunities. Campus recruitments help in this regard, as the students' colleges work with companies to bring job prospects. Campus recruitment gives students ample chances to get employed in a reputed company.

Limited Competition:

Nowadays, there are a lot of graduates struggling for employment opportunities, so the level of competition is very high in off-campus recruitment campaigns. However, in on-campus recruitment, the competition is limited to your collegemates, implying you have better chances of getting a job compared to off-campus recruitment.

Better Salary Package:

On-campus recruitment programs can fetch you a good salary package, and you may not need to negotiate much. Many colleges coordinate with companies to set a salary range, so the companies cannot go lower than that value. Whereas, in other types of recruitment, the companies may negotiate a lower salary package for entry-level jobs.

College & Company Rapport Advantages

Students can benefit from the alliance between the college and companies. Students can expect better responses from organizations and can easily get in touch with them for any queries with the help of their college's placement department. Further, the universities will verify whether a company is genuine to ensure the students do not fall for money-grabbing scams, which happens a lot in off-campus recruitments.
