Nothing speaks more than the testimonials of the students themselves. Here, we have two students speaking about their experience during campus placements on what led them to landing good placement opportunities at Christ University and the Department of Commerce.

“My name is Sankalp Grover (1811078), and I'm a final year Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) “A” student from the Department of Commerce. I've been placed at Axxela Advisory Services. My placement journey was short (luckily, I got selected by the third company I applied for). But it did have its ups and downs, along with a lot of learning and experience. The first company I applied for was D.E. Shaw, and I cleared two rounds and got shortlisted for the first interview round but unfortunately couldn’t make it to the last round. And for Z.S Associates, the second company I applied for, I did not even get shortlisted for the second round. These did de-motivate me a bit, but I made up my mind and worked even harder for the upcoming companies. I was preparing for CAT as a backup, so it did help me with the aptitude tests. Being part of the University Student Council helped in my personality development and develop skills like public speaking, leadership to name a few. I would also like to mention the support and guidance provided by the Placements Cell of the college. The Department of Commerce Placement Talks organized by the Placement Coordinators of my department helped me gain a lot of knowledge to help me prepare for the placements. The Placement Office of Christ University helped us by bringing in a lot of companies and giving many opportunities to the students of CHRIST. Lastly, my class's placement representatives (Priyam Agarwal and Sanya Jain) for keeping us updated by being active all the time and working so much for the class, listening to loads of queries and concerns, and handling them calmly. I reached my current goal of getting placed in the financial services sector. I hope to accomplish my upcoming goals of performing well in this company and then go for higher studies or take up professional courses. There's only one key to success, and it is to keep trying until you succeed.”

“My name is Ridhima Agarwal and I am the student of 6 BCOM Hons A. I got placed in KPMG Global Services. KPMG was the 5^th organization that I was attempting for campus placements. I would like to thank the Placement Office and our Faculty Placement Coordinator for their constant support and encouragement and for organising ‘Placement Talk Series’ which has helped students a lot. Even though none of us are in campus, and this process happened online for the first time, but the faculties made it familiar and easier for the students by organising sessions to equip them with the needed skills and knowledge. I would also appreciate the efforts of the placement representative for carrying out the work smoothly. Department of Commerce has always offered its students a wide range of placement opportunities and given a platform to help them grow. Due to lockdown and COVID-19 situation in the country, students couldn’t complete their internship, for which Christ University offered free access to Coursera courses which had helped me develop skills which corporates might look forward to. The Placement Talk Series helped me know the experience of my seniors and learn from their mistakes. It helped me stay positive throughout the process. The challenge which I faced was answering questions in an interview. During the talk series, seniors had helped us by giving a certain set of questions that were asked to them and other questions that could be generally asked. They also gave an idea on how those questions could be answered. That had helped me boost my confidence. I was very happy to get placement at KPMG, and my goal is to learn and excel at my workplace and gain new insights and experience from it. “
