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.

6

Page 7: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

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

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.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

12

Page 13: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

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

Page 21: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

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

Page 22: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

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.

These programmes are provided at different institutes internationally and

nationally. The institutes which Ranbaxy considered are:

22

Page 23: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

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

Page 24: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

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

c) Pedagogic

d) Industry Interface

e) Placements

24

Page 25: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

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.

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.

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

26

Page 27: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

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

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.

27

Page 28: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

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

Process for recruiting Trainees in various disciplines is undertaken through

Campus Recruitment. The number of Trainees required to be taken, is decided

Page 30: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

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

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 30

Page 31: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

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.

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.

31

Page 32: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

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.

CHAPTER-3 METHODOLOGY

3.1 RESEARCH CATEGORIES

There are three categories of research

1. Dissertation Research

2. Organizational Research

3. Publishing Research

DISSERTATION RESEARCH

33

Page 34: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

All academic research done for the purpose of getting an award of degree or as a

part of the course completion. For example- summer training project, dissertation

during four semesters in Amity Business School in M.B.A, Phd. Program in any

university, M.Phil project in any subject in anywhere are known as dissertation

research.

ORGANISATIONAL RESEARCH

Exclusive research for the purpose of achieving unfinished task, contemporary and

challenging problem faced by an organization or as to achieve the organizational

philosophy and goals. All research of such categories is known as organizational

research.

PUBLISHING RESEARCH

A research for the purpose of writing a case study, an article into national and

international newspaper, a paper to be presented at national and international level

conferences and seminars, are referred to be published in journals etc are known as

publishing research.

In our case it is mainly of first category but since an industry is assigned to us and

also as per the instruction of our guide we are here to prepare the research paper for the

purpose of publication so it comes under all the categories mentioned above.

3.2 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

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,

34

Page 35: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

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

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.

35

Page 36: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

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

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.

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.

3.7 METHODS OF COLLECTING DATA

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

source.

37

Page 38: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

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:

Domains IIT Delhi IIT Kanpur PEC Thapar Institute

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

39

Page 40: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

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.

Anova: Two-Factor Without Replication

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

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.

41

Page 42: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

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.

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 = 7, namely Skills, preparation for

job, academic knowledge, understanding of other people, ability to be independent,

adaptable, creative and innovative.)

SSC = Sum of squares due to columns (Column taken = 4, namely IIT Delhi, IIT

Kanpur, PEC and Thapar)

Now d.f.

SSR = (r-1) = (7-1) = 6

Where r = rows

SSC = (c-1) = (4-1) = 3

Where c = columns

Therefore, SSE = Sum of squares due to error = (r-1)(c-1) = 6 x 3 = 18

STEPS INVOLVED FOR ANOVA- TWO FACTOR OR TWO WAY ANOVA

Step1: Setting the hypothesis

institutes mentioned w.r.t. seven factors taken into account.

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

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

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

µ21 = µ22 = µ23 = µ24

µ31 = µ32 = µ33 = µ34

55

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 (6, 18), α = .05

Fstatistics for column = at (3, 18), α = .05

Step 4: Test criteria

Approach 1: Since f calculated value i.e. 3.3421 is greater than f critical

value i.e. 2.6613. Hence we reject the null hypothesis and

accept the alternative hypothesis.

Approach 2: (p-value approach) Since p-value i.e. 0.0216 is less than

α- value i.e. 0.05. Therefore, as per test criteria we reject

H0 and we accept H1

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

Step 4: Test criteria

χ2 = .873

Since .873 > .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”

results in maximum campus placement i.e. 25

With average rating there are 13 campus recruitments.

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

Page 80: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

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

Page 81: Bench Marking the Trends for Campus Recruitment for Graduate Engineer Trainees

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
