Yesterday while at a family dinner , a close relative , who co - incidentally is
also heading placements at a city Engineering College , casually informed me that
he hosted an open Campus during the day of an American Software firm called
CONVERGYS wherein students from approximately thirty five Engineering
Colleges from Indore participated , rather competed , with each other for the
two hundred odd selections which took place. Close to thirteen hundred students
strived with and against each other`s aspirations for close to seven hours going
thorugh rigorous rounds and getting a feel of what exactly is campus recruitment.
Boys and Girls from distinctly diverse backgrounds converging for a common purpose
and in the process unknowingly building up bonding is a good example of a competitive
process leading to co-operation.
Well My personal opinion is that such kind of open campuses are not the test of ur talent but infact they test how lucky u r??

To some extent I agree with Vedang. Open Campus is an example of a good idea turning bad. Now Companies should conduct open campuses only on neutral platforms with professional assistance if required.
ReplyDeleteAn open campus is a unique opportunity for students to come and prove themselves....the people on the other side of the table are use to this kind of GT and their eyes pickup the right people. There may be some exceptions, but, this is a lot better than Not getting a chance.

As they say at CHEM try to have that salesman attitude, if not today then sometime later one has to offer a USP....the earlier we master it, more the interest it will generate in coming years....altho many fail in open campus, but these experiences could be revelation for a few and for winners,the inception...
