Following points differentiate Campus India from the other

truly national consultancy company having
presence in 4 major Indian cities, and we plan
to cover almost all parts of the country by the
end of 2008.
-
Zone-Wise Campus Placement events:
Campus India will organize placement events in
all the zones (areas) separately. The purpose
behind the zonal placement events is to
minimize the student’s travel expenses.
-
Recruitment Solutions for non-IT companies also:
Generally, other consulting companies provides
recruitment services for IT candidates only,
whereas campus-india gives equal importance to
IT as well non-IT recruitments. We have
successfully provided recruitment solutions to
many of the major non-IT companies during the
last couple of years.
-
Highly qualified management team:
Campus-India is well organized and managed by
a group of India’s TOP rated T-Schools and
B-Schools.
-

The other division of the company –
Education-Edge works in educational and career
consultancy. We keep our self up-to-date with
the current trend in the education sector. We
can easily figure out the colleges which will
suit to your requirements. Our competency in

7. Is campus-India similar to job fair? We already have
tie-ups with some of the companies that organize
job fair, then why should we enroll with
campus-India?
No, The concept of campus-India is entirely
different from that of the job fair though it
looks similar at first instance. Following are
some of the major differences between job fair
and the campus-India program:
-
Pre-enrollment:
In job fair, candidates are enrolled on the
spot, whereas in case of campus-India,
candidates are enrolled beforehand. Currently
more than 15,000 candidates from 250 different
colleges in India are enrolled with campus-india.
The enrollments are still in the process to
cover entire India in coming few months.
-
Campus-India is only for fresh candidates:
Job fair is for all kinds of jobs, whereas
campus-India is only for hiring fresher.
-
Campus-India is specialist, not generalist:
Job fair is very generic, but campus-india
program is very particular to suit to your
specific requirements.
-
Facilities provided by our company:
In job fair, companies participating needs to
bear all the expenses like: traveling &
boarding expenses, whereas in case of campus-india,
all the expenditures related to boarding and
traveling of your executives will be born by
campus-India.
-
Cost incurred even if you don’t hire anyone:
In job fair, You will be charged even if you
won’t get deserving candidates. You would be
charged only for putting up your stall.
Whereas, campus-India charges only when your
company hires from us. Campus-India doesn’t
charge for participating in the events, or
enrolling with Campus-India program.
-
Impression of job fair:
The impression of job fair among students has
gone down like anything in the past few years.
Many good and deserving candidates avoid
attending the job fair because of the rush and
hassle, whereas, campus-India has a very good
reputation among the candidates.
-
Exception can’t be an example:
Sometimes, you may get some good and deserving
candidates from job fair, but these are
exceptions, and exception can’t be example. In
the case of campus-India, it is opposite, it
is very unusual not to find a single deserving
candidate out of 3000 to 5000 who will come to
attend campus placement events.
-
Many companies the same day:
In job fair, there would be many companies
participating in the events in a day. Whereas,
in campus-India, we make a proper schedule,
and try to avoid the multiple companies the
same day. Therefore, it will hassle free for
the companies participating in campus-India.
-
Venue and time according to your convenience: in job fair many companies participate, and the venue and timing
may not be decided by taking in to account
your convenience. It’s not possible to match
the perfect timing for 50 companies
participating in a job fair. Whereas, in
campus-India, we give much importance to your
convenience. The timing and venue is decided
only after consulting your company.
-
No pre-estimate/Guarantee of total number of
candidates in a job fair: In job fair, a consulting company organizes an
events and calls different companies at the
venues. They usually don’t have candidates
enrolled before hand, therefore; they can’t
guarantee about the number of candidates
visiting the job fair. In case of campus-india
program, we promise you to arrange 3000 to
5000 candidates in a day as the candidates are
already enrolled with us.
8. What are the colleges which are participating
in the campus-India program?
Campus-India has established relationships with
more than 200 IT & Non IT colleges, and more
than 50 MBA Institutions and colleges across
India. Campus-India is capable of gathering more
than 5,000 candidates at any point of time at
any location in India with in a small span of 72
hours. We have students enrolled with us from
more than 250 colleges from different parts of
the country, and the enrollment process is still
in the process to cover entire India in coming
few months. Campus-India is a one-stop shop for
the corporate hiring for fresher.

fresh candidates. We have different program for

12. Our company already has tie-up with
colleges, therefore; we can go to colleges and
recruit candidates directly from the college.
Then why should I recruit from campus-India?

-
Volume of students:

the students from that college, whereas, in
campus-india program, students from many
colleges are enrolled. You will get volume of
students to choose from.

leave everything to us and we will look after
each and every thing. Hence, your company
doesn’t have to waste time in recruitments.

you expect.
-
Immediate requirements:
If your organization has immediate
requirements, and the candidates selected are
required to join with in a month time from
placement dates, then your requirements will
not be met by visiting campus. This is because
the candidates recruited through campus
placements will join only after passing out
from the college. Where as campus-India will
provide you candidates who have passed out
from the college, and are ready to join
immediately.

All the events will be coordinated by campus-india
team and our local office. We have offices
across India to co-ordinate the events. This

wasted in visiting different colleges.

provide volume of students, and hence you can
find out the quality students from them.
-
Single visit and your job is done:
If you require more candidates, then visiting
a single colleges may no fulfill your
requirements. You need to visit some other
college again, which will consume more time
and efforts which is unnecessary overhead for
your company. Whereas, if you recruit from
campus-India, you don’t have to go to any
other college again. In a single visit itself
you can fulfill all your requirements because
students from many colleges are joined with
campus-india program. Therefore, hiring from
campus-india program will reduce the overhead.
