About PMP

The Placement Mentoring Program seeks to provide mentorship to final-year students in a variety of core and non-core sectors such as finance, analytics, consulting, IT/software, and so on, in order to help them with their placement process. This programme also includes mentorship for the graduating students who wish to pursue higher education. The programme does this through contributions from recently graduated batches who have gone through the similar placement procedure/higher studies preparation and are thus familiar with the problems that may be encountered. The service connects mentors and mentees, allowing the latter to discuss the tactics to use when looking for work in a specific profession. PMP kicks off the initial interaction between the mentors and the mentees, which they may continue at their own pace and according to their requirements, with intermediate follow-ups to address any hurdles that may occur.
