Objective
To explore the placement process at NITIE from project management point of view

Scope
This project involves exploring the process from project management point of view. The process
involves a handful of resources be it the manpower or the money. A dedicated team of students
called Placement Committee handles all the affairs under the guidance of placement in charge. The
project will involve breaking down the process into a set of activities and then allotting activity times
and other resources required for each of these. Also a work break down structure and network
diagram will be prepared for the same. This is in accordance with the amount course that has been
completed in class till now.

Background
A placement cell usually consists of an entire panel that helps students during graduation. You can
go to them and they will help you out with placements after college. Another advantage is that some
placement cells will help you prep for interviews. They will also give you tips about improving your
resume so that you walk into an interview, prepared and ready to face your potential employer.
The best part here is that companies will come to your campus without you having to knock on
various doors for jobs. Companies pick different universities every year to visit and recruit on the
spot. This makes things very easy for students because they dont have to run around in circles. They
can show what theyve got in the campus itself and they will be recruited if the companies like them.
This benefit is what makes students choose universities based on the companies that have visited
them in the past. Good companies visiting a campus is testimony that the university is a reputed one.
