Career Guidance

Email: [email protected]

The Career Guidance Cell has been developed in WCC with the primary objective to provide career counseling and employment guidance which assists students to make informed decisions regarding shaping their own future.  It helps the students realize their own potential by instilling soft skills, managerial skills, the ability to communicate and enhancing their personality, all of which will make them better employable.

Since its inception, the Career Guidance Cell has placement coordinators from Shift I and Shift II who collaborate with various corporate firms and training agencies to facilitate training needs, internships and on- campus/ off-campus recruitments. This is done by interfacing with student representatives from each department for all the students of WCC, which encompass a diverse population.

The Career Guidance Cell conducts recruitment drives with Corporate firms. Every recruitment process incorporates the following:

• Pre-placement talk about the organisation
• Aptitude test (online or written)
• Group discussion
• Telephonic interview
• Technical interview
• HR interview

Over the years, students have been successfully placed in the following companies through the campus recruitment process. The list of companies include Deloitte, Cognizant, Wipro, Infosys, Ernst- Young, Sutherland, HCL, Zoho, Amazon, YES Bank, ICICI, Standard Chartered, Kotak Mahindra, Indian Public School and  DOMEX.

The Career Guidance Cell caters to the needs of students by conducting Workshops and Seminars on Personality Development, Interpersonal Relationships, Communication Skills, Interview Skills and Presentation Skills to encourage the holistic development of individuals.  Students have also participated in Education Fairs which create awareness about the importance of higher studies abroad.
