At RAIT the students are nurtured such that they develop the roots to remain well grounded ; yet they are also taught to develop their wings in order to fulfill their dreams to conquer new horizons. This is a paradoxical combination which has led to great success stories. These success stories have been possible due to the active role played by the placement cell of the institution. The college has always had a career development system in place and finding the right job for the right person has been a major priority. The results of this consistent effort can be seen in the number of recruitments that take place from RAIT. It has the highest number of campus recruitments in the Mumbai region excluding IIT. Recent years have seen nearly 80% of our students placed in reputed MNCs at the highest starting salaries. Our students also tend to get the best feedback from their employers.
While getting employment is primarily the responsibility of the student, at RAIT, opportunities are provided to the students through training tools and guidance. The Training and Placement Office provides active assistance in researching prospective employers and in the interviewing, resume creation, and networking skills that are essential to making the best match. It is a matter of immense pleasure and pride that our students are able to make a choice of employment even before they graduate.
Students begin working with the Training and Placement Office in their Pre-final year at the college. They take advantage of career development offerings such as workshops on how to present oneself, self assessment exercises that help them understand their strengths and weaknesses. They also undergo career counseling sessions.
The Training and Placement Office also has substantial resources for researching companies. Its corporate e source center maintains an impressive collection of electronic business databases and other resources. The office also has a worldwide database of RAIT graduates in every industry and geographical location. The placement office also maintains resume books for current students.
Recruitment time: The training and Placement Office coordinates recruiting events--- on and off campus- for large number of companies and organizations each year, including Microsoft, IBM, CISCO, INTEL, Hewlett Packard, Sun Microsystems, Tata Consultancy Services, Sterlite industries, Mastek, Siemens. The recruitment year kicks off towards the end of the Pre-final year, when companies descend upon RAIT to make presentations about their organizations and to get acquainted with the students in general. On-campus interviews continue till July-August.
Throughout the year the Training and Placements office posts several listings of the positions available in companies that recruit on and off campus. Throughout the year, a less formal networking takes place with the executives and entrepreneurs who also participate in the campus events, thus strengthening the ties between the institution and the industry. A number of reputed organizations visited the RAIT campus for placement of the students.
