  • Pre-Placement Talks:
    Pre-Placement Talks help students to have the knowledge about the expectations of company and process of recruitment. These kinds of talks help the students to overcome their nervousness and build confidence in them so that they can achieve their goals. It is compulsory for students to attend as it is full of knowledge.
  • Group Discussions:
    Group Discussion built teamwork, and good communication skills in the students. Placement Cell at SSM College regularly held these type of session in which students were given topics for discussion. Through these sessions Placement Cell tries to develop various skills like listening, public speaking, and critical thinking in students.
  • CV Building:
    While coming to applying for a job CV plays vital role in the selection of students. Our Placement Cell provides the format to students and helps them in building their CV. Students were taught to find their hidden talents and to make themselves proficient in relevant field. Spending ample amount of time on CV Building is recommended.
  • Aptitude Test:
    Placement team has a special teacher for conducting aptitude mock. These kinds of sessions develop various skills like problem-solving, numerical skills, time-management in students. An aptitude test allows employers to test the skills of the candidates using a variety of different testing formats. This activity helps the students in on campus and off campus placement.
  • Individual Counseling:
    Nothing beats this, and we encourage and advise every student to find time in the midst of the chaos to reflect and prepare on oneself. From writing down answers to frequently asked HR questions to reviewing what has already been taught in UG and PG programmes to stay current with current events, and so on.
  • Mock Interviews:
    Mock Interview is like a simulation of an actual job interview. It provides our students with an opportunity to practice for an interview and receive feedback on their interviewing skills. The mock interviews are conducted as a practice job interview held with a professional career counselor. A mock interview helps our students to learn how to answer difficult questions, develop interview strategies, improve communication skills, and reduce stress before an actual job interview.
  • Personality Development Sessions:
    We believe that personality can be shaped and confidence can be built into everyone. It needs expertise and a fine eye to work over the strengths and sensitivity to work over the weaknesses .Students learn to imbibe universal values through interactive sessions which help them to retrospect, think and act before doing.
