How can technology augment placement scenarios across universities?

In today’s world, education is highly technology-driven. Due to the ongoing pandemic, online education has become mainstream where a large number of students are learning new skills. Educational Institutes are trying their best to sustain and keep the economy afloat.

In India, the success of an Institute is largely attributed to its campus placement outcomes apart from the holistic brand image of the Institute. This remains one area where Institutes often fail to identify the need for technology. Technology can help solve the problems caused at ground level from the usage of multiple tools like excel, emails, google forms, etc and help in error-free data management, real-time tracking & forecasts on corporate connect. This is often ignored by the Institute leadership, as they are more concerned about the final outcomes.

A Superset Student user Feedback

Twinkle Jain, IIFT Delhi - I have used Superset in the final year placement process, it's a great tool that anyone can have during the placement process. Placement is really a rough phase for every B- schooler - trust and transparency are the two most important things that every student expects in the placement drive. Due to superset, I was assured that the shortlists released are by the employers only and a student can concentrate on working hard instead of worrying about the transparency of the recruitment process.
