Abstract
Placements are crucial for any university to be effective. The process needs to be designed and implemented. This paper develops a conceptual model of the placement process for a university. The process makes things easier and more acceptable to students and the key stakeholders. Placement preparation needs to be incorporated right from day one of student joining, and it should be felt across the board of the university. This paper is to study various departments of the university and understand the industry-relatedness and interdisciplinary approach. The placement cell of the university needs to understand each departmental calendar of the university and plan placement drives accordingly. Student's feedback and stakeholders involvement in shaping up students is the key to success. Hence, students need to be trained, and they need to be guided to choose the right career and the company of their choice. This paper is unique and original in its attempt to understand a student's progression and developmental aspects pertaining to placements. Placement is one of the key performance indicators of a university. This is an empirical study of various aspects pertaining to on and off campus recruitment drives.
