Sushrut Bhandary's Review on SIES Graduate School of Technology

Training & Placement

Utmost importance is given to placement related activities to ensure that all successful graduates receive suitable placements. Over the past several years, a strong placement network has been developed with industries in the manufacturing, engineering, financial services, information technology, publication and other sectors. This has been achieved through constant interaction with the industry by way of seminars, research projects, and on-and off-campus initiatives. As part of its placement efforts, placement teams visit potential employers and consultants and apprise them of the level of knowledge and practical application skills acquired by the graduates in their respective areas of specialization. The profiles of the students seeking placement assistance are made available to the prospective employers. Placement meets and personality development workshops are organized as part of the placement program. All the students are provided guidance in career planning as they progress to higher levels of the program. A number of national and multinational companies have recruited the students through campus recruitment. The entire placement exercise is a joint effort between the institute and the students. While the institute provides guidance, support, and networking with potential employers, the students have the responsibility to put in the maximum possible efforts to obtain suitable placements.
