Nowadays, organizations are recruiting young talent from colleges and universities to widen their employee base. Campus recruitment refers to this process. Colleges/universities and corporates come together at a common platform either at college campus or at corporate premises to meet employment needs. Campus recruitment is more prevalent in IT, engineering and management
At college/universities, a placement committee is formed which works for students’ placements in industrial training and job. The members of the committee work hard and invite companies. They give them a brief introduction about the institute/university and the skills sets present among the students. The organizations visit the colleges/universities and promote themselves. They give a brief introduction about the vacancies and job profiles. Also, some institutes/universities go for joint-campuses for their final placements, where the company and institutes/universities gather at a common place for recruitment.
