    institutional Distinctiveness

    • Communication training programs to improve the communication skills and the English fluency in students.
    • Campus training programs that help to impart a sound knowledge of technical skills in students.
    • Training on soft skills, resume preparation, personal interviews, group discussions, through our Corporate Relations department.

    The Corporate Relations cell is an integral part of our institution, which ensures that the students are well trained and motivated to face campus interviews efficiently. The placement support teams take effort to organize trainings related to aptitude, soft skills, technical skills and corporate expectations to groom the students well for the interview process.

    National and International Placement

    • It is our institute’s distinctiveness in bringing in recruiters from reputed companies from India and abroad placement.
    • Performance of students are improved
    • Easy way to identify the absentees in class and Examinations

    Memorandum of understanding

    • We had MoU with S’Hail Metals and Rassas Battery Recycling battery for recruiting our students.

      • S’Hail Metals and Rassas Battery Recycling Factory are our abroad recruiters who would identify the best candidates who would be presented to them on the day of the interview process. This abroad placement has also been a source of motivation for the students who aim to get placed and the expenditure for their travel and visa is also borne by the institution. Being located in a rural area and grooming the rural students technically and skillfully to take part in international placement drives is a real challenge to the faculty involved in the research, centre for innovation and the corporate relations departments. It’s all possible through the constant motivation and support from the authorities from top order at every level. Abroad placement is a pride for the institution and a spotlight for progress towards the goal to be achieved by every student who does justice in making the best use of the study environment provided by Stella Mary’s College of Engineering.
