Placement
Placement Cell
St Francis de Sales College provides career guidance and placement facilities to
undergraduate students. The Office helps the students assess their career interest
with aptitude and offers them an opportunity to meet and be interviewed by some of
the prestigious firms in the state and the country. It organizes mock interviews,
workshops, seminars and group discussions on relevant topics. Campus recruitment is
held from November to July of every academic year. Usually, the process begins with a
pre-placement talk which gives students an insight about the company and the job
they have to offer, followed by the selection process.
