Campus recruitment is the process where companies visit educational institutions, such as colleges and universities, to hire students for internships or full-time positions before they graduate. It’s a popular way for organizations to identify and attract young, talented individuals who can fill entry-level roles.
Steps in Campus Recruitment
Pre-Placement Talks (PPT): Companies begin with a presentation about their organization, work culture, job roles, growth opportunities, and benefits.
Resume Screening: Students submit their resumes, which are screened by the recruiters to shortlist candidates based on academic performance, skills, internships, and relevant experience.
Aptitude Test: Shortlisted candidates often take an aptitude or technical test to evaluate their problem-solving skills, analytical abilities, and core knowledge related to the field.
Technical/Domain-Specific Round: In this round, candidates are tested on their technical knowledge, often relevant to the role they're applying for.
Group Discussion (Optional): In some cases, a group discussion round is held to assess communication, teamwork, and leadership skills.
Personal Interview: The final round is often an HR or personal interview where recruiters assess a candidate’s personality, cultural fit, and soft skills.
Offer Roll-Out: Selected candidates receive a job offer, which typically includes details on joining date, compensation, and other terms.
