Ques. What is the process of placement at SRCAS like, and when does it typically start?
Ans.The placement process at SRCAS is well-planned and starts far in advance of the terminal semester. Pre-placement training sessions typically start in the second or third year (UG) and first year (PG). The sessions include resume preparation, aptitude training, mock interviews, group discussions, and domain-specific training.
The real placement drives commence from October to January, as per the academic calendar and timelines of the recruiters. Invitations are extended to companies by the Placement Cell, and students are informed beforehand about registering and preparing. The process may involve several rounds—online tests, technical interviews, HR rounds, and final discussions. The Placement Cell also helps students find suitable jobs that are in line with their skillsets and academic background.
Ques. Can all students appear for campus placements, and is there a minimum requirement?
Ans. Although SRCAS promotes large-scale participation in placement, there are some eligibility criteria that the students need to fulfill. Minimum requirements are generally specified by most companies like:
- Minimum academic percentage (generally 60% in 10th, 12th, and UG/PG)
- No arrears or backlogs
- Regular academic record with no significant gaps
Also, the college expects the students to attend training sessions, be disciplined, and also participate in pre-placement programs actively. For some positions, the firms may also consider co-curricular activities, internships, and communication skills as part of the selection process. Those students who do not qualify in Tier-1 companies are also given opportunities through various other drives organized in sectors and roles.
Ques. What types of companies typically come to SRCAS for placements, and what are the offered jobs?
Ans.Companies from a large range of industries visit SRCAS for placements. They range from IT services and product development to finance, insurance, retail, analytics, and education.

Ques. Does SRCAS have support for unplaced students through campus recruitment?
Ans. Yes, SRCAS still offers assistance to students once the core placement drives are finished. The Placement Cell arranges off-campus referrals, pool drives, and industry outreach programs to place unplaced students in appropriate jobs.
Besides, students are encouraged to apply for government exams, research internships, freelancing, or startup incubation opportunities based on their interest. Resume polishing sessions and one-to-one mentoring also become available for students who might require additional guidance in the job market. The college is firm on believing in continuous interaction, and hence alumni can also approach them for employment transition in the initial stages of their careers.
