How Important is Placement While Choosing a University?

 

Choosing an appropriate university to accomplish your career aspirations is one of the major decisions that students must make. This decision is extremely important as their future depends on it. This includes finding out, how is the university? What are scholarly achievements? Is the college's infrastructure well-developed? Is there scholarship available? Does it provide quality placements? These are just a few of the questions that come to mind before beginning the search for the right university. Among all the questions, the one that stands out is about placements. Not only students but their parents are concerned about the same.

Everyone wants to graduate with an offer letter, so it is important that the university you are seeking admission, have placement opportunities to assist you in getting jobs and internship programs. If the university has good contacts with corporate entities, you can learn about corporate culture and network with industry professionals. As there are cut-throat competition in the job market, it can be difficult for a newbie to figure out what suits him/her. In such cases, the university’s placement cell can assist students and provide them with the necessary training and guidance to make sure that they make the right moves in their professional lives. The primary goal of the placement cell is to provide promising placements to eligible students.

Teerthanker Mahaveer University has a full-fledged career mentoring centre known as the Centre for Career Counseling and Employment that provides result-oriented services for students' bright futures. The university has tied up with several recognised national and international institutions for apprenticeships, and placement programmes for students. As a result, providing global employment opportunities. It organises industry-academia interaction programs, guest lectures, mentorship sessions, and workshops to strengthen corporate relations and ultimately benefit students to find good placements.

Following are the ways in which #TMU’s placement cell is helping its students to get their dream jobs-

●      Personal and professional development-  The placement cell allows students to put the theory of what they have learnt in college into real life and also helps them to gain a practical understanding of the corporate world and lifelong skills that they can carry forward to their future careers. The placement cell also helps students to develop leadership skills, public speaking, soft skills, etc. TMU’s training and placement cell offers a variety of employability enhancement sessions before students encounter the company’s placement procedure.

●      Work experience-  Placement cells also help students to find quality internships, so that they can apply their theoretical knowledge to real-life business situations. Also, the process of applying for internships helps them with resume building, cover letters, soft skills, dressing, interviews, etc. Through internships, students can learn and interact with industry experts and they can also explore new opportunities via networking.

●      Student Exchange- A student exchange program is a study program in which students pursue education at one of their institution's partner institution. Teerthanker Mahaveer University has collaborated with Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia for the exchange of students for academic, research, and internship opportunities. As a result, providing exposure to global opportunities. 

●      Higher education-  Not every student wants to get a job and settle down, some want to pursue higher education and for them, placement cell guides them by briefing them about the courses and suggesting certain entrance exams. It is also responsible for organising guest lectures, seminars, conclaves, workshops, and industrial visits for students so that they can learn practically through interaction, operating methods, and employment practices.
