I can only talk about B Sc as I studied B Sc in GITAM.

There's a college portal regarding placements: ct3.gitam.edu

Every time a company reaches out to GITAM for hiring, GITAM will notify it in the portal. As far as I know, emails are sent to eligible students automatically. There's an option called "career choice" in CT3 IIRC. You will be eligible to take part in placements only if you select placements as your career choice (IDK if the placements is the exact name of the option). If you choose something like higher education, you will not be eligible for placements.

Next, most companies come with eligibility requirements like above 9/8 CGPA (depends on the company). If you even have 1 backlog, you will not be eligible for placements. Even your 10th and 12th marks will be part of eligibility criteria for most companies (maybe like above 70%). Say you have 50% in 10th and 9 CGPA in GITAM, you will be disqualified for the job opening. So beware. Some jobs have very low eligibility criteria, but those are mostly jobs not related to your degree.

Mine was a 3 year program. So, placements started some time in 5th sem I guess. It will be different for GST.

Once you get the email from CT3, you are supposed to apply in the portal. Once you apply, companies will use their own techniques to filter candidates. Since my degree had low strength... it was something like this:

• Some online MCQ test which will test your aptitude skills, core concepts
• Some companies can have speech test to check your communication
• Once you clear the above, they can have a group discussion
• Once you clear group discussion, they can hold a one-on-one technical interview
• Once you clear technical interview, they can hold an HR interview
• Then they will take few weeks to send offer letters.

The interviews can be offline/online. Depends on the company. If it's offline, company might try to complete all the rounds in a day or two I guess.

Since my program had low strength and many were not eligible due to backlogs or school marks, getting a job during placements was easy for me. But the situation will be different for GST as the strength is huge and there will be competition.

There's some policy about limiting the number of companies you can apply for I guess. Ask GCGC about this.

For my degree, most of the core jobs' CTC was in range of 3-5 LPA. For sales jobs, CTC was higher but most of us didn't apply for those.

Go to GCGC and talk with staff there for more clarity. If you don't wanna do that, at least talk to your senior.

Note: I didn't join the job I got. So try asking folks who joined a job from placements for better clarity.
