*This is the number of students who have gone for higher education immediately after the completion of their course. ** The admission process is still going on.

Apart from this many students are pursuing higher studies in India like NITs, IITs, IIMs, and IIPM.

A master‟s degree is an academic degree granted to individuals who have undergone study demonstrating a mastery or high-order overview of a specific field of study or area of professional practice. Within the area studied, graduates are posited to possess advanced knowledge of a specialized body of theoretical and applied topics; high order skills in analysis, critical evaluation, or professional application; and the ability to solve complex problems and think rigorously and independently. The degree is awarded upon graduation from a university.

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES ABROAD: Master‟s Degree programs around the world allow students to enroll in a graduate program at an institution abroad while receiving the personalized support services that define INTERNATIONAL STUDIES ABROAD programs throughout the world. The majority of programs can be completed in English in as little as one year. Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive their master‟s diploma and academic record from the university abroad.

COMMUNICATION SKILL ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM

Centre for Training and Placement of St Joseph‟s is largely responsible and committed towards the identification and catering to the need of training of students so that they are able to develop a good personality; and assist them to find right job and help them place in right companies before they pass out. We realize that in order to convert a raw student in to employable graduate, several behavioural attributes need to be addressed in addition to the development of technical skills.

Department of Chemical Engineering Volume - 34 Chemtrix 2019 15

Some of the behavioural attributes are good communication skills, developing positive attitude towards work, and understanding of moral and ethical values. Every academic year, our college has taken an initiative to improve the communication skill of the students by organizing 48 hrs Communication skill enhancement program. The aim of this program is to empower our students to take up the future campus recruitment with confidence. All the first year students are evaluated for communication skill by the expert committee. Based on the evaluation students are categorized into three levels and students are given appropriate training. This communication enhancement program is conducted by corporate trainers from Strides & Winspire.

CENTRE FOR TRAINING AND PLACEMENT Placement Orientation Program and other activities

The Centre for Training and Placement has conducted Aptitude crash course for second year students by Smart. Aptitude crash course was conducted in two phases, first phase in the third semester & second phase in the fourth semester. Placement orientation program-II (POP II) was conducted for the final year students by Vista Mind and trained them on soft skills, quantitative aptitude skills etc., to prepare them for placement recruitments. Also POP III, a company specific training programme was conducted by SMART to crack Cognizant, Infosys Wipro test pattern. The Centre for Training & Placement conducted online aptitude assessment tests on every week for all the students through the skill rack portal.

Apart from these the students have undergone mock tests in Cognizant, Wipro, Infosys and AMCAT test pattern before appearing for placements. Subsequent to the above training, Cognizant has conducted Evolve Program (Transition from College to Corporate) for the final years, which helped them to understand the expectations of the corporate world. Infosys conducted a session on “interview preparatory” & Wipro conducted a session on “employability”.

Students have also acquired BEC certifications, other value added certifications. In addition to the above certifications, IT Refresher program was conducted for all final year students by Top freshers to enhance the IT related technical skills. Also series of Mock tests, Interviews & intensive coding training have greatly improved the performance of the students in the campus recruitments to a great extent.

NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) Activities

It is pathetic that there are numerous orphanages and old age homes in our society. Our visionary Director yearns for extending a supporting hand to these needy persons. Also, he wanted to invoke the service mind of our students by encouraging visits to orphanages, old age homes and homes for CP children (children with Cerebral Palsy which causes physical disability in human development chiefly in vain areas of body movement). NGO activities bring out the hidden potentials of young minds to serve the needy and to make them responsible citizens. They are exposed to downtrodden lifestyle which is a need of the hour for our country‟s development. Our college offers special lunch (Both Vegetarian and Non Vegetarian with sweets, savories and ice creams) to all the inmates of orphanages, old age homes and homes for CP children. Students are provided with transport facilities to visit the homes on activity Saturdays. All the students, from First year to Final year, both UG and PG enthusiastically participated and mingled with inmates of home and spent the daytime with them and shared their happiness. They also spent their pocket money in useful manner by offering the needy things like rice bags, groceries, toys, clothes, pillows etc. for the inmates. The department of chemical engineering has participated on Saturdays and the activity was thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated by the students and faculties.
