PLACEMENT CELL REPORT

2019-2020

"O God, teach me to be generous; to serve you as you deserve; to give without counting the cost; to fight without fear of being wounded; to work without seeking rest; and to live without expecting any reward, but the knowledge that I am doing

your will." - St. Ignatius of Loyola

St. Xavier's College's Placement Unit is among Calcutta University's oldest and mostactive placement cells. It acts as a clear interlink between academia and the businessworld. The Placement Cell has proven to be the initial and final point for all placementsas a congruent forum where a company's search for jobs meets the ultimate aim of astudent's job.

The Placement Cell, a team of 10 driven leaders, led by a shared purpose of bringingnumerous opportunities to the campus, aims to ensure that each job seeker meets hisemployer. In the past, organizations that deliver broad profiles ranging from analyzes toanalysis to articleships have recruited. Other recruiters in the past include Ernst andYoung, KPMG, DE Shaw, Mckinsey, PwC, Deloitte and Oberoi Hotels according to trend.

The placement cell has always tried to recognize the ability of each applicant, and has

worked unconditionally to develop programs to fine-tune skills and cultivate talent.

Starting in their first year, students are introduced to prestigious internship

opportunities to eventually offer a finesse to their corporate acumen by the time they are

able to sit in their final year for recruitment procedures. In keeping with the college

administration's dream, the Cell aims to empower students to meet the rising corporate

world's needs.

The 2019-20 Placement Session marked yet another amazingly successful Placement Cell

session. This continuing progress can be attributed to our illustrious faculty and a special

mention to Rev. Dr. Dominic Savio, SJ – Principal, Dr. Amitava Roy – Placement

Coordinator and a group of professors whose mentoring and deep conviction contributed

to a successful placement session where students were put across various roles of their

choosing. All the activities of the Cell are led by Mr. Niladri Sinha and the Student Core

Committee, which consists of students from different courses in their final year. We aim

to invite companies from various fields in order to make opportunities available not just

for students of business and science, but also arts.

The Placement Cell is profoundly grateful to all the people whose contributions made this

project a new benchmark for success. The Cell successfully collaborated with corporate

giants such as Ernst & Young, PWC, Deloitte, KPMG, J. P. Morgan and D.E. Shaw,

Byju's, Mckinsey, etc. during the workshop, thereby supplying the graduating batch with

competitive placement opportunities complemented by lucrative pay packages and

different profiles.

A total of more than 900 students enrolled from different backgrounds for the placement

session including Math, English, Mathematics, Economics, Commerce and so on. In the

placement session which saw number of companies offering an averageof

Rs. 6/- lacs pa, the immense trust of the leading organizations in the St.

Xavier's College students' exceptional capabilities were evident. The most

impressive bundle was priced by 7 companies offered above Rs.10/- lacs pa.

The highest package was offered by D. E. Shaw of Rs. 21/- lacspa.

Apart from placements, the past year has also seen various workshops. We

hope to conduct many more workshops on different areas ranging from

Stock Markets to Career Counselling, Soft Skill Development and

Education fairs. Besides this Deloitte US-India organized Graduateschool

of Maverick completion and our students got the 3rd rank.

Whether permanent placements or internship opportunities, the Cell has a

pool of various experiences to cater for the students with, but this year the

team collaborated with another cell, the Entrepreneurship Development

Cell, to host Initium: The Internship Expo. A first of its kind event in the

glorious history of the institution was specifically designed to provide

internship opportunities to students of all years and departments as such

opportunities help students in garnering experience and skillsets hands-on

from the business world. The event was a big success, as over 48 companies

came onboard and we got close to 1000 unique registrations from students

showing an interest in acquiring internships which were beingoffered.

With more than 100 students being offered internship roles withmonthly

stipends ranging up to Rs 20,000, the event was termed a grand success

with a local daily covering the event in one of its printedition.

In conclusion, the Placement Cell has added another productive year to its

history, with a track record of growing the amount of opportunities for the

students and alumni. The team worked tirelessly to achieve yet another

milestone.

“Climbing to the top demands strength and skills, whether it is to

the top of Mount Everest or to the top of your career”.
