Wipro InfoTech conducts recruitment drive at CCCT


GANGTOK, 06 Mar: A campus placement drive was held at Centre for Computers and Communication Technology (CCCT), Chisopani by Wipro InfoTech, wherein a total of 44 students from five Institutes participated, informs a press release. Wipro InfoTech is a leading strategic IT partner for companies across India, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific offering integrated IT solutions.
The participating Institutes were: CCCT (Chisopani), ATTC (Bardang), RD TATA (Jamshedpur),Siliguri Govt.Polytechnic, Darjeeling Govt.Polytechnic.
The placement process had three rounds of selection wherein the first round consisted of a written test based on aptitude and reasoning. 17 students were shortlisted after the first round to appear for the technical interview conducted by the experts from Wipro InfoTech, the release informs.
The final selection criterion was the HR interview conducted by Anima Susan Jacob ( Manager Talent Acquisition – BSD) Wipro. A total of 9 students were finally placed at WIPRO wherein 5 of them, Sital Dahal, Akash Pradhan, Geetanjali Pradhan, Keshav Kr. Jha and Sriraj Pradhan and are currently studying in their final year at CCCT, the release mentions.
The selected candidates will undergo on-the-job training within Wipro five days a week. They will simultaneously be provided an opportunity to pursue Master of Science (M.S) in Systems Engineering course of five years duration from the prestigious BITS, Pilani College. Wipro will be funding the entire admission/ semester course fee of the five years of MS education and the students will be eligible for a monthly stipend as well. The selected students will be joining the company as well as the BITS, Pilani College this July, the release adds.
According to the release, the package includes a starting salary of Rs. 1.11 lakh going onto Rs. 3 lakh per annum. Besides this, the students will also be eligible for a Group Medical Insurance of Rs. 12 lakh, Life Insurance benefit of Rs. 14 lakh and Medical Reimbursement of Rs. 15,000 per annum.
“It was a major initiative of the Institute to organize a placement drive on such a large scale,” said Training and Placement Officer, CCCT, Deepak Rasaily. “Though we have had other MNC’s in the past like Apollo Tyres, Samsung India, HCL etc. who’ve been frequently recruiting our students, this placement drive was completely different because our students had to compete at a national level to get through,” added the TPO.
CCCT, though situated in a remote part of a small hilly state of Sikkim, has been a forerunner in placing students in various hallmark institutes around India and yet it is another proud moment for the Institute to have been recognized as one of the premium polytechnics in India by a major corporation of WIPRO, the release further adds.
