A Bachelor of Technology or Bachelor of Engineering degree is more desired than many of the other educational degrees by the students of the present era not only because of the rigor and societal prestige associated with its acquisition but also due to its much higher job-giving potential. Since a sizeable amount of money is paid by an engineering graduate, the degree would have lost much of its importance, glamour, and attraction had there not been a noticeably higher degree of placement security attached to it. Any day, an engineering degree ensures a much better opportunity in the professional sector than an equivalent educational degree of most of the other disciplines.
The engineering colleges apart from ensuring the completion of the engineering syllabus also take a few initiatives to ensure the placement of their students. Employability training, Industry Interface, and Seminars form a large share of the activities that the institutions of technology undertake to prepare their students for campus recruitment. The Indic Institute of Design and Research finds it necessary to train its students to make them not only employable but also fighters in every sphere of life. It follows a series of systematic activities designed to optimally exploit and harness the potential of all its students.
Employability training in Indic is a continuous affair and a part of the regular classes from day one of the first semester to the last day of the last semester. The primary focus of Employability training is on getting the students ready for placement. Apart from the trainers, who are regular members of the faculty, who train the students, expert and specialized trainers are also frequently utilized to provide a different perspective on training to the students. The strengths, weaknesses, problems, special attributes and skills of the students are identified and frequent counseling sessions and classes are conducted to contribute to their comprehensive development.
Purposeful seminars are also conducted to give the students a knowledge of many other topics related to their studies or useful to them, or those myriad other aspects of their engineering subjects which are either extracurricular or cannot be dealt with within the limited time period of their day-to-day classes, but which are still important from the point of view of placement. Indic encourages its students to go for summer training (no longer a requirement of the BPUT curriculum) in various technological organizations so that they may get not only a firsthand view of the practical demonstration of their theoretical learning but also a rough idea about the conditions in which they would work in the future. The institute has also planned to invite Industry professionals to share their experience with the students, inform them about the expectations of the professional sector and teach them a trick or two in the art of building a successful career. Apart from encouraging the students to take part in the various technology fests with plans of organizing its own in the offing, Indic, having completed two and a half years of existence, also aims at organizing a campus recruitment program for the students of the other engineering colleges to give a view of the placement scenario to its presently ineligible-for-the-campus students.
The Department of Training and Placement of Indic is continuously engaged in tapping more and more trustworthy recruiting sources to ensure that all its eligible students get a fair chance at employment on the Day of Placement for its own students. Without any intention of selling illusions to the student, the constant focus of this department is on providing him / her with the best possible opportunity as per his / her academic performance and demonstrable abilities. Conducting a few classes in the government technological organizations and institutions for its students also helps them to better understand the requirements and the environment of the industrial sector. Overall, the working style of and the discipline imposed by Indic is a clear cut indication of its intense desire to make its students employable at any cost. The nature and the intensity of the activities indulged in by Indic to make its training and placement program a complete success for its students mark it out an organization which takes it to heart if even a single eligible student of the institute, at the end of the day, is left high and dry in the professional sector.
