First ever initiative to train the students for placement at UIET

University Institute of Engineering and Technology (UIET) organized a workshop on August 31, 2013 to train students for this upcoming placement season. This is the first time that such an event was organized for preparing students to face the recruitment scenario with the help of alumni of the institution.

In the first phase of this workshop, students were made familiar with the interview process by Garima, an alumnus of Punjab University and a specialist in this field. She briefed the attendees about the do’s and don’ts of making a resume. She even talked about the most basic details that an interviewee needs to keep in mind for example, the dressing sense and body language.

For the next phase of the workshop, alumni of UIET were invited for assessing students’ resumes, taking group discussions and personal interviews. Some of the Alumni present for the workshop:

• A master’s student in the Netherlands

• MBA student at ISB

• Scientist at C-DAC

• Scientist at DRDO

• Team Lead at Winshuttle

• Faculty member of UIET

“It was a good experience and moreover a much needed initiative. I hope this would continue and in the longer run would help set an example” – said Sidharth Batra, 4th Year Mechanical

“It was good to see alumni conducting this workshop since they are close to the industry and to the students as well” – said Swarika Jain 4th Year Electronics

The workshop was organized by the Alumni Affairs Office, which has been working towards bringing alumni back to campus for helping students with their queries and doubts related to their career.
