What
is the Selection Process? While
every company has its own way of selection criterion, we can
generalize them as the following: (i)
Aptitude Test
and/or Technical test (ii)
Psychometric
test ( Companies may or may not conduct this) (iii)
Group
Discussions (iv)
Interviews. Some
companies may not conduct GD Aptitude
Test:
Aptitude tests are generally designed to test the
candidate’s skills in Quantitative Methods, Verbal Ability,
and Logical Reasoning. This is generally the filtration round.
This test may typically be between 45 min to 90 min. The
candidates may be asked to take a Technical test in their
domain. Not all companies insist on Technical tests as they
consider the semester wise marks of the candidates. Hence
consistent Semester marks are very important. Psychometric
Test:
Some companies subject the candidates to psychometric test as
a part of selection process. They may include Personality
tests, Emotional Intelligence test etc.
The companies try to see the candidate’s cognitive
and non-cognitive skills. If the company has already done the
Psychometric profiling of the job and has done some bench
marking based on their current employees, it makes it easy for
the interviewer to analyze the candidate Group
Discussion:
A Group Discussion is conducted by companies to test the
candidates for specific job roles like marketing etc. Some
companies may also ask all the candidates to go through this
exercise. Group
Discussion is to test the following skills of candidates - •
Communication skills •
Inter personal skills- listening, speaking,
receptiveness, team spirit. •
Clarity of thought - Knowledge and the ability to link
known facts •
Confidence While
aptitude test is an elimination tool, GD is considered as
selection tool. Interview The
candidates short listed after Aptitude test and GD will be
subjected to the interview by the Human Resources Department
person of the company. Some time the companies tend to conduct
even a Technical interview too. Interview
helps the companies to know the person more. Merit
List
Every company puts up a merit list or the list indicating the
selected candidates and the candidates are offered appointment
letters subject to their completing the education in the
college. Restrictions: The companies visiting the campus are graded by the college and the companies are provided the campus recruitment slots. The best company gets the first slot and they get the best candidates. Some colleges restrict the number of job offers one student can get. If a student appears for the campus recruitment and gets the job offer, he/she is not allowed to appear for another selection process of another company. Some companies allow students to get up to two or three offers and allow them to decide on one, with in a stipulated time, so that other students get an opportunity to get placed. |
