Students feedback after Career Counselling & Placement Cell program

• Tapan Kumar Dey am a student of Behala College, Zoology department (2015-2018). When I was in Part-III I used to attend grooming classes, arranged by my college to make myself prepare to face Job interviews. I never missed a single class and dedicatedly followed all the given instructions by groomers and my teachers as well. As result I easily cracked my first job interview of ICICI PRUDENTIAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY from college campusing and its been a successful one- year journey of my working life with ICICI PRUDENTIAL. I am very thankful to my college as they had organized the college campusing and also they gave us the opportunity of preparation to face interviews.

• I am Abu Talab Uddin Mondal, passed with Zoology Hons in 2018. I got placement from the campusing of ICICI prudential in Behala College, which was organised by our college. This could happen only because of our respected professors and our respected Principal Madam; they gave us opportunity to get job and develop our skill better. They also guided us regarding how to face an interview and how to groom ourselves. This gave us chance to make our future better. Thank you for all the opportunities. It was a great experience to be a student of Behala College and it helped me a lot for future life.

• Priyanka Sarkar, an ex-student of Behala College, had done my graduation in Zoology Hons. Our college had organised grooming classes once a week for 2-3 months in final year and there we got several trainings regarding CV writings, how to give a speech in front of several people, extempore etc which really helped me to crack the interview of TCS through college campus recruitment. Thus I, got the opportunity to work there. I'm really grateful to my college for all this.
