EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Title1: Benchmarking the trends for campus recruitment for graduate


engineer trainees

Title 2: Mapping executive education programme of international and


national b-schools with Ranbaxy’s Cadre

The project “BENCHMARKING THE TRENDS FOR CAMPUS


RECRUITMENT FOR GRADUATE ENGINEERS TRAINEES” was undertaken
by me in Ranbaxy Laboratories ltd. My training was based on the topic Graduate
Engineers recruitment evaluation.

GET recruitment is more than just recruitment of employees on the job. It is


also about evaluation of colleges, skills acquired by the students, environment in which
GET have been groomed, readiness to take up the challenges in the corporate world.

Colleges were identified on certain parameters these were further filtered down
to three classes. The parameters were based on proximity to our location, slots available
& placement criteria of these colleges for calling companies for recruitment. Prime aim
of the project was to set up a process for evaluation of colleges to have a bunch of
GETs who meet the criteria to drive the organizational initiatives to complete the global
challenges.

In order to accomplish these objectives we carried out an internal survey of the


employees to do sampling of the identified colleges to access the environment and the
level of readiness they provide to the students to be skilled enough to meet the needs of
the organization.

Further to this evaluation the assessment was carried out on the information
gathered from the placement officers of these colleges. Placement figures for the last
two years, how much exposure and weight-age is given to the industry visits and

6
internship and on the job training. The day one slot criteria were accessed for each
college to identify their prerequisites regarding CTC and fees charged.

Prime focus for these GETs was the engineering colleges who are conversant
with information technology in depth as the current initiative with the organization is to
have IT and ERP in place all across the branches with standardization of applications
and packages to cut down on cost for implementation of diversified application usage.

Another project “MAPPING EXECUTIVE EDUCATION PROGRAMME


OF INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL B-SCHOLS WITH RANBAXY’S
CADRE” was undertaken by me with the objective to provide learning solutions to
employee’s developmental needs.

If the organization wants to survive and prosper in the modern world of rapid change,
they need to be more flexible, faster moving and faster learning than before. Their
ability to do this rests upon the abilities of their workforce as it is the employees who
represent what company stands for. If the individuals are able learn, develop and
change, then so can the organizations.

Providing the training to the employees requires the training need identification. This
project focuses on the developmental needs and skills which an employee is required to
have in order to accomplish his goals. These needs were previously identified by
Ranbaxy through their Electronic performance management system i.e. EPMS.
Depending on these needs the different executive education programmes were found
for the Ranbaxy’s cadre.

With an objective to provide learning solutions to employees the mapping of the


executive education programme was done. Executive education prepares the executives
from all over the world for new levels of skills in their careers & within their
organization. Such programmes are conducted by different international & Indian
universities, namely Harvard Business School, London Business School, IIM
Ahmedabad, IIM Calcutta, XLRI, INSEAD and so on.

7
This project included the creation of the database of the national and international
executive education offerings mapped to relevant job classes. This database included
detailed information on the executive education programmes on the following areas

1. Leadership

2. Finance

3. Business Strategy

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

12
1.1 BRIEF PROFILE OF THE COMPANY

1.1.1 Foundation

Ranbaxy Laboratories had its origins in the early 1960s when Ranjit Singh and
Gurbux Singh, two employees of a Japanese pharmaceutical company operating in
India, formed their own pharmaceutical preparations company in Amritsar, in Punjab
state. The two merged their names to form the name for their company, Ranbaxy.

Through the 1960s, India's pharmaceutical market remained dominated by


foreign drug makers. The domestic pharmaceutical manufacturing industry was limited
in large part to the dosage preparation, packaging, and distribution of existing
formulations. Like many Indian drug companies of this period, Ranbaxy linked up with
a European pharmaceutical company, and began production in 1962.

Ranbaxy's owners sought additional financing and turned to a local


moneylender, Bhai Mohan Singh. By 1966, the pair had built up debts to Singh of more
than the equivalent of $100,000. When Singh, a native of Pakistan who had arrived in
India at the beginning of that decade, came to collect, the Ranbaxy partners offered to
turn over their company to him instead.

Singh agreed to the deal and launched the Ranbaxy family on the path toward
building one of India's largest business empires. Under Bhai Mohan Singh, Ranbaxy
initially maintained its course of preparing and packing existing branded
pharmaceutical products for the Indian market. The entry of Singh's eldest son,
Parvinder, into the company in 1967, however, set the company on a new course to
become a fully independent pharmaceutical company.

its mission to become a Research-based International Pharmaceutical Company and
attain a true global leadership position.

1.2 BACKGROUND OF THE PROBLEM

Problem 1: Benchmarking the trends

The best organizations are made of the best people. The organization’s long
term goals & successes are conceived by its people. Get the right people first is better
than getting your people right, because people are the soft assets in the organization and
it is these soft assets that manage and optimize the use of hard assets of the company to
good effects. The best ways to enable organization to get right sort of people & become
competitive lies in the recruitment & selection process.

In order to get the right people, Ranbaxy focuses on the campus recruitments
with an objective of building a young talent pipeline for the organization which would

20
comprise fresh engineers from good engineering colleges who can be groomed and
whose retention rate would be much better.

Problem 2: Mapping Executive Education

Throughout the years training and development approaches have proved to be a


critical tool in human resource management. These approaches not only help employees
to focus on the skills to be improved but also to look for the ways to achieve these
skills. But there exist a need to develop these skills among the employees on a
continuous basis so that they can excel in there job and can achieve the objectives of the
organization. To bring in such development among the employees the companies need
to identify the core training needs where the employees are lacking and to look up for
the ways to remove such lacking

1.3 PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND APPROACH

Problem 1: Benchmarking the trends

Ranbaxy recognizes that people are the real source of the competitive
advantage. This project was undertaken with the objective to include new blood in the
workforce which is dynamic, innovative & hi-tech. The past trends of the recruitments
of Graduate Engineer Trainees indicated that there has been a high level of attrition this
year at the junior & middle level. So there existed a need to explore a new recruitment
option which would be more effective than that what had been used in the past.

21
Problem 2: Mapping Executive education program

Ranbaxy carries out a training need identification through a system called


Electronic performance management system i.e. EPMS. For this project the training
needs were already identified. Following were the identified needs-

 Team Builder

 People Adaptability/Interpersonal effectiveness

 Performance Management

 Conflict Resolution

 Decision making and problem solving

 Assertiveness

 Finance for non finance

 Effective communication skills & presentation skills

 Negotiation Skills

 Leadership skills

 Business Strategy

After the needs were analyzed there had been an observation that employees
need much more than the normal proceedings. In order to provide more learning to the
employees the mapping of international and national executive education programme
was carried out.

Executive Education programme was chosen as it prepares the employees for


new level of skills & make sure that the employees acquire the right skills to fight the
new challenges. It seeks to a permanent change in an individual that will improve
his/her ability to perform on the job. As a result this type of programmes leads to an
overall development in the employees.

22
These programmes are provided at different institutes internationally and
nationally. The institutes which Ranbaxy considered are:

International Universities

 Asridge Business School

 Duke University

 Harvard Business School

 London Business School

 INSEAD

 Michigan Ross School of Business

 University of Cambridge

 Wharton School

National Universities

 ASCI

 IIM Ahmedabad

 IIM Bangalore

 IIM Calcutta

 IIM Indore

 IIM Lucknow

 TMTC

 XLRI

After identification these universities a training calendar was prepared which


included the details of the programmes and participants cadre.

23
1.4 GENERAL OBSERVATION

During the project it was observed that the attrition rate of the Graduate
Engineer Trainees was very high, that is why the company was looking up for more
recruitment options other than the Delhi College of engineering.

1.5 SCOPE OF RESEARCH

The study will deepen the understanding of what are the present placement
trends in the organizations, why Graduate engineer trainee program is followed in
companies & how this program is conducted so as to get the right person for the right
job.

The study will bring in focus the process of Graduate Engineer Trainee program
& the roles of these trainees once they are recruited for the organization. It attempts to
analyze that how the students of the institutes are prepared for the corporate world.

It will also bring in light the importance of training imparted to the employees
based on their identified needs

1.6 STEPS FOLLOWED FOR THE PROJECT

The steps taken for this study are as follows:


1. Identification of the institutes which provide placements
2. The identified institutes were ranked on the different parameters like:
a) Infrastructure & facilities
b) Intellectual Capabilities

24
c) Pedagogic
d) Industry Interface
e) Placements
3. Then these ranked institutes were divided in three classes i.e. Class A, B & C.
The division was on the basis of the Ranks & Location
4. The survey was conducted for the internal employees passed out from the Class
A top institutes.
5. Another survey was conducted for the Training & Placement Officers of the
Class A top institutes.
6. For the purpose of survey the questionnaire & interview methods were used.
7. After this the detailed analysis was prepared on the placement trends followed
in these Class A top institutes.

25
CHAPTER-2
LITERATURE REVIEW

Ranbaxy is an integrated research based, international pharmaceutical company


producing a wide range of quality, affordable generic medicines, trusted by healthcare
professionals & patients across geographies.

26
It believes employees represent what company stands for. The value an
organization produces is unequivocally linked to collective efforts of its people.

In order to get the right people for the right work, the company follows a
Graduate engineer trainee program. In which the new talents are hired from different
institutes across the country. After the hiring these graduate engineer trainees are put
through one year’s rigorous, multi-functional training in our various functions before
being absorbed in a regular assignment.

WHY GRADUATE ENGINEER TRAINEE PROGRAM?

Attraction and Retention of talent has been a major source of concern since majority
of the professionals want to work in consulting organizations and Ranbaxy being an
end user company has its constraints.

 It experimented with Walk-in-Interviews in Bangalore last year for lateral level


recruitments but was unable to hire too many people at middle management
level.
 The company faced attrition of those recruited in Bangalore since these
employees wanted to be close to their respective families.
 Recruitment through external consultants has been a slow process. Our
experience has not been great in recruiting laterals since majority of the people
end up negotiating with their current employers and don’t join.
 Company had high level of attrition this year at the junior and the middle
management level though majority of it was non-regrettable.
 Organization invests a lot in training and the feedback that we have received
from line is that the performance level and uptake of employees having
engineering qualification is better that the non-engineers.

COMPANY’S OBJECTIVE BEHIND RECRUITING GETS

27
To explore a new recruitment option that would be more effective that what we
have been using in the past.

To have a reservoir of young talent who would take up higher responsibilities in


the future.

To integrate conceptual understanding gained through academic curriculum into


practical application.

To have a professionally qualified manpower, multi-skilled persons who can be


used for various functions.

RECRUITMENT PROCESS

APO, Infrastructure, Business Solutions etc.

On-the-job Project:

 Each GET is assigned some projects of 3 months duration each in the respective
IT sub area of choice.
 Project evaluation would be done post completion of each project by an
evaluation committee comprising of CIO, Head SAP, Head APO, Head
Infrastructure and HR.

29
CONFIRMATION ON ONE YEAR

Final presentation is organized at the end of the training period where the GETs
would be presenting to a panel of the evaluators and would share their learning.

The panel would decide the final placements of all GETs.

Post 1 year training the GETs would be absorbed in the AI managerial level
where they would again have a probation period of 6 months.

TRAINING PROCESS AT RANBAXY

1. NEED IDENTIFICATION

The training is imparted only if there is a requirement. These requirements could be


current requirement and future requirements. Both these requirements are essential to
reach the goal of any organization. These requirements could be individual specific,
divisional specific or organization specific, all these needs should align with the
strategy and goals of the organizations.

At Ranbaxy, the need identification process is undertaken by through the EPMS


(electronic performance management system).

After identification, there was a realization that the following needs were required
to be given more learning solutions:
Leadership
Finance for non finance
Business Strategy

30
2. DEVELOP THE TRAINING PROGRAMME

Based on the inputs received, the training calendar of executive education


programmes of various universities was prepared. This calendar was prepared with an
objective to provide the employees with learning solution which can help them in
achieving the goals of the organization. The programmes stated in the calendar were
mapped according to the cadre of the Ranbaxy.

The calendar includes list of programmes and the date-wise programme calendar of
each international and national b-schools. The list of the programmes further consists of
name of the programmes, overview of the programs, participants profile, relevant job
class, date of the programmes, venue of the programme and the fees charged for these
programmes.

3. DELIVER THE PROGRAMME

Ranbaxy has a culture of providing the training through trainers or to send


employees to the different training programmes organized by different organizations/B-
schools. This gives an opportunity for the employees to sharpen their knowledge as
well use their skills. The delivery methods are chosen in such a way that it drills down
the message across to the employees.

4. MEASURING EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PROGRAMME

Training effectiveness is measured for programmes, which are specifically designed


towards Strategic objectives, Departmental performance, new introductions of subject
and faculty. Approximately 40% of the total programmes conducted are evaluated.

31
Ranbaxy uses Kirk Patrick Model for measuring training Effectiveness. Effectiveness
is measured through 4 levels such a Reaction, Learning, Reinforcement and Outcome.

1. Reaction is the immediate feedback sought after each programme through a


questionnaire.
2. Learning is measured for technical/skill development programmes through pre-
post tests.
3. Reinforcement (Behavior) of training is done after every three months after the
training programme, here it is checked whether employees are actually using the
knowledge imparted to them on job.
4. If all the above steps are favorable, then results will follow.

RESEARCH DESIGN

A descriptive research design was followed for this research, with an objective
to find out top institutes across India and to find out their placement trends. The
descriptive research was chosen due to its nature of dealing with questions who, what,
where, when & how. Moreover this type of research involves observing & describing
the behavior of a subject without influencing it in anyway.

3.3 RESEARCH APPROACH

For this research, the research approach was survey. The survey was conducted by
visiting the various employees in the organization and by mailing the questionnaires to
the training and placement officers. Survey was best suited to fulfill the purpose of this
research work, because it helped to know about the different colleges & their placement
trends.

3.4 RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS

The tools used for the data collection in the present study are
 Questionnaire
 Interview

The questionnaire and interviews are the main data collection tools due to their
nature of giving the right and accurate results to the problems from the selected sample
frame. The questionnaire records the placement trends of the top institutes.

The questionnaire used for internal employee’s survey was structured, close-ended
and disguised. The close-ended questionnaire implies that the questionnaire consists of
the questions which have certain options from which the respondent indicates his or her

35
choice. And disguised questionnaire means that the objective behind the
research/questionnaire is not told to the respondents.

The questionnaire used for placement officer’s survey was again structured and
disguised but it was an open-ended questionnaire.

3.5 SAMPLE DESIGN

A sample design is an infinite plan of obtaining a sample from given population.


Simple random sampling is used for this study

UNIVERSE

The universe chosen for this project was the placement officers & the previously
selected Graduate engineer trainees passed out from the following institutes:
 IIT Delhi
 IIT Kanpur
 IIT Roorkee
 Punjab Engineering College
 Thapar Institute

SAMPLE SIZE

The sample size varied from survey to survey. For the “survey of employees” the
sample size was 50 employees and for the “survey of Training and placement officers
(TPO)” the sample size was 4 placement officers from IIT Delhi, IIT Roorkee, Punjab
Engineering College & Thapar Institute respectively. The previously working GETs

36
were selected for the employees survey and the training and placement officers of the
top class A identified institutes were selected for the TPO questionnaire.

INSTITUTE Employees Sample Size Placement officers Sample


size

IIT Delhi 13 1

IIT Kanpur 15 0
IIT Roorkee 0 1
Punjab Engineering College 15 1
Thapar Institute 7 1

SAMPLE PROCEDURE

The procedure adopted in the study is probabilistic sampling, under which each
element of population has an equal chance of being selected in the sample.

3.6 SCALING TECHNIQUE

The scaling technique used for this study was Itemized rating scale, in which the
respondents were provided with the Likert scale that has a number or brief description
associated with each category. This brief description associated with each category
varied from question to question.

Likert scale is commonly used in the questionnaires, and is the most widely used
scale in survey research. When responding to a likert questionnaire items, respondents
specify their level of agreement to a statement. In the likert scale the respondents are
required to select the specified category the best describes the object being rated. It
measures either negative or positive responses.

37
3.7 METHODS OF COLLECTING DATA

The study was conducted using a combination of primary as well as secondary


source.

PRIMARY SOURCE
For this study primary data is the one which was first hand information & collected
fresh. The most common & popular tool for collecting primary data is questionnaire or
interview. And the same is collected for this project.

SECONDARY SOURCE
Secondary data is the one that is already collected & treated statistically in some
form or the other. Encyclopedias, journal, books, reviews are all examples of secondary
sources used for this study.

CHAPTER-4
RESULTS & DATA ANALYSIS

4.1 ANALYSIS OF EMPLOYEES QUESTIONNAIRE

Note*: The statistics used here is the average of the results (in each domain) received
from employees
1. College rating given by employees on different domains:

Intra work placement 4 3.9 4.3 4
Course content 4.8 4.5 4 3.6
Opportunity to work 3 3.1 2.9 3.4
Industry Exposure 4 3.4 4.3 2.6
Internship provided by campus 4.7 4.5 4.5 4.6

Findings: All the top institutes are almost at par in providing the placements,
opportunity to work & internship.
The course content provided in IIT Delhi is better than other institutes.
PEC followed by IIT Delhi seems to be providing more of industry exposure as
compared to the other institutes.

ANOVA
Analysis of variance is an error reducing technique is applied mainly to compare the
means when more than two data sets are available. For two means t-test or z-test
will be suitable.

Since we wish to compare four premier institutes namely IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur,
Punjab Engineering College and Thapar respectively. So analysis of variance
(ANOVA) is the most suitable inferential tool.

We do error analysis by means of computing various sums of squares for example


SSR, SSC, SSE
SSR = Sum of squares due to rows (Rows taken = 5, namely Intra work placement,
course content, opportunity to work, industry exposure and internship provided.)
SSC = Sum of squares due to columns (Column taken = 4, namely IIT Delhi, IIT
Kanpur, PEC and Thapar)

Now d.f.
SSR = (r-1) = (5-1) = 4
Where r = rows
SSC = (c-1) = (4-1) = 3
Where c = columns
Therefore, SSE = Sum of squares due to error = (r-1)(c-1) = 4 x 3 = 12

STEPS INVOLVED FOR ANOVA- TWO FACTOR OR TWO WAY ANOVA


Step1: Setting the hypothesis

41
Null Hypothesis H0 = There is no significant difference in the means of the four
institutes mentioned w.r.t. five factors taken into account.

Alternate Hypothesis H1 = There is significant difference in the mean of the four


institutes mentioned w.r.t. five factors taken into consideration.

Mathematically: H0 = {µ11 = µ12 = µ13 = µ14


µ21 = µ22 = µ23 = µ24
µ31 = µ32 = µ33 = µ34
µ41 = µ42 = µ43 = µ44}

H1 = {µ11≠ µ12 ≠ µ13 ≠ µ14


µ21 ≠ µ22 ≠ µ23 ≠ µ24
µ31 ≠ µ32 ≠ µ33 ≠ µ34
µ41 ≠ µ42 ≠ µ43 ≠ µ44}
Step 2: Determining α = .05
Level of significance = 5%
Confidence level = .95
*Note: α and (100-α) are complementary to each other
Step 3: Application of ANOVA

Fstatistics for row = at (4, 12), α = .05

Fstatistics for column = at (3, 12), α = .05

Step 4: Test criteria


Approach 1: Since f calculated value i.e. 7.2458 is greater than f critical
value i.e. 3.285. Hence we reject the null hypothesis and
accept the alternative hypothesis.
Approach 2: (p-value approach) Since p-value i.e. 0.003315 is less than
α- value i.e. 0.05. Therefore, as per test criteria we reject
H0 and we accept H1
Interpretation: There is a significant difference in the means of the four institutes
mentioned w.r.t. five factors taken into consideration.

Step 2: Determining the significance


α = .05
d.f = (r-1)(c-1)
(5-1)(2-1)
=4

Step 3: Application of χ2 test


χ2 = Σ i=1 to k [(Oi – Ei)2 / Ei 2]
where k = no. of categories
O = observed value
E = expected value
This test is applied in case we are to apply χ2 test of goodness of fit

χ2 = Σ i=1 to r Σj=1 to c [(Oij – Eij)2 / Eij 2]

This test is applied in case we are to apply χ2 test of contingency or χ2 test of


independence. This test is based on the cross tabulation

62
Step 4: Test criteria
χ2 = .545
Since .545 > .05
Therefore the null hypothesis is accepted, there does not exist any significant
association between campus recruitment and rankings of the institutes.

Interpretation
As per the survey it has been found that colleges that have been rated “very good” and
“excellent” results in maximum campus placement i.e. 17
With average rating there are 6 campus recruitments.
With the fair rating there are 4 campus recruitments

CHAPTER-5
CONCLUSIONS

5.1 CONCLUSIONS

This report demonstrates the placement trends of the different top institutes.
Although the placements of Colleges like Thapar and IIT Roorkee have gone down as
compared to the previous years, but there are colleges like Punjab Engineering College

79
which have shown constant trends over the last two years. This report also bring in light
the different criterions which these top institutes take into consideration for the Day 1
slot of the companies.

The study will deepen the understanding of why Graduate engineer trainee program
is followed in companies & how this program is conducted so as to get the right person
for the right job.

The study will bring in focus the process of Graduate Engineer Trainee program &
the roles of these trainees once they are recruited for the organization. It attempts to
analyze that how the students of the institutes are prepared for the corporate world.
How they fit into the requirements of the organization and what all are the gaps to bring
them to pace with organizational need to meet the global competition.

It sets up a process going forward for evaluation of colleges where from Graduate
engineer trainee’s can be recruited depending on the needs and streams where the
requirements are.

5.2 LIMITATIONS

1. Difficulty in obtaining relevant materials from the company.


2. Reluctance on the part of the company to give away their closely guarded
policies of recruitment and selection.
3. Difficulty in getting back the response to the questionnaire from the training and
placement officers.

5.3 RECOMMENDATIONS

80
There has been an observation that the students of the colleges which are not
rated good have also been taken up as a GET. As a result of this the attrition rate has
increased. In order to reduce this kind of attrition the company should go ahead with
only those institutes which have either excellent rating or very good rating.

Company has also given preference to those colleges which do not provide
adequate industry exposure, such kind of recruitments should not been given any
further preferences.

The calendar prepared for the second project is dynamic, which needs be
maintained on a monthly basis. As the programs of the B-Schools keeps on changing so
the calendar should be modified monthly for each program.

5.4 LEARNINGS

1. During this projects I got enormous knowledge regarding the analysis, I learnt the
usage of SPSS, ANOVA, CHI-TEST etc.
2. I have learnt a lot about the Executive education programmes or management
development programmes which are organized by different B-schools
3. Gathered knowledge about the campus recruitments and different top colleges
4. Learnt about the different training programmes like GET(Graduate Engineer
Training) and MTS(Management training Scheme) etc
