Placement Activities
Placement is just one of the meeting points between the Institute and the Industry. We endeavor to facilitate the first impression between the students and the industry.
Asia-Pacific Institute of Management provides a platform for placement where companies recruit students of various specializations. Potential employers can undertake on-campus recruitment through a streamlined process of registrations, PPTs, and selection.
Understanding the significance of using the right aptitude, knowledge, and skill set for the right task, the Placement Team seeks to provide the best opportunities for mutually beneficial selection. Responsible for identifying the right student-organization fit, the Placement Team selects, targets, and invites companies for Final Placements and Summer Internships.
Pre-Placement Talk (PPT)
The placement program starts in October every year, with the academic calendar and mutual convenience with recruiters.
It is an opportunity for the corporate world to interact and hire future employees for internships and permanent openings. Industry makes presentations in which students’ concerns, like job description, remuneration package, scope for growth, and cross-functional exposure, are addressed.
Written Aptitude Tests (WAT)
As part of the selection procedure, many organizations conduct written tests. The companies conduct these tests during their visit to the campus for pre-placement talks.
Some of the focussed activities are
