Campus to Corporate Activities for VI Semester Students

The School of Lifelong Learning in its endeavor to enrich students’ knowledge and skills plans various

activities from time to time, across the two Galgotias’ campuses. For the VIth semester students, SLLL

had planned the following activities in order to groom these students in Presentation Skills, Oratory

Skills, Personality Development, Group Discussions, Resume Writing etc. Of these activities, the first

two, that is, Presentation Skills and Group Discussion have been successfully held at GCET and GU during

the months of February and March.

1. Presentations

The session started with a brief on the

importance of effective presentation skills and

its practical use in our everyday life. Each class

was divided into groups and given a topic on

which they would be presenting in a few weeks

time. The topics were chosen from a renowned

book by the highly influential Management Guru

Steven Covey- “7 Habits of Highly Effective

People”. The seven habits are: Be Proactive,

Begin with End in mind, Put First things First, Seek

to understand then be understood, Think Win-Win,

Synergize, Sharpen your Saw. These habits were

giving to teams as their Presentation topics. This

choice of topics served two purposes- it

encouraged students to do worthwhile reading and

exposed them to inspirational and aspirational

values. During the sessions the trainers motivated

the students to read the book and align themselves

to universal and timeless principles of character. This

session was helpful in introducing the ‘inside-out’

approach.

Group Discussion

Group Discussion is a modern method of assessing students’ personality.

It is both a technique and an art and a comprehensive tool to judge the worthiness of the student and his appropriateness for the job. The term suggests a discussion among a group of persons.

The group can express their views freely, frankly in a friendly manner, on a topic of current issue within the given time limit the abilities of the members of the group is measured.

Job Fair

April 8, 2016 Galgotias College of Engineering & Technology

In order to give the pre final year students exposure of

the corporate world, the BTech Semester -6 students are

undergoing an extensive program called “Campus to

Corporate”. This program enables students to get their

dream job and to seamlessly blend into the corporate

world. As a part of this program, SLLL has organized a three

day event called - Job Fair, which is a formal interaction in a

simulated corporate environment designed to help students

showcase their skills both as interviewees and interviewers.

Students were divided into groups in their batches

representing different companies. It was indeed impressive to

see how the students successfully took on the corporate role

plays.

The 1st round of the event was organized

from April 6th to 8th at GCET, with 500

students participating across various

branches.

To appreciate and encourage our

achievers at the event, we had four

categories of awards –Mr. & Miss

Corporate, Best Interviewer & Best

Interviewee. The awards were

decided on the basis of code of

conduct, proper formal dressing,

and appropriateness of the

answers given.
