Deloitte Pre-Placement Talk and Corporate Training

Deloitte cordially held an informative Pre – Placement Talk that benefited the students
enormously on the 16th of July at the KE Auditorium, from 10am to 12pm. The keynote
speakers for the event were Deloitte’s Human Resource Head – Mr. Anish and the Audit Vice
President – Mr. Ravi. A total of 150 students attended the Talk, which not only included the
B.Com students but also some very interested M.Com students.
The talk started off with tips to help train and teach students how to prepare for placements,
specifically in the following three areas:
1. Resume Writing Skills: included questions to ask yourself, format along with being
prepared enough to answer any queries on the resume details;
2. Group Discussion: Basic etiquettesto practice during the discussion as well as how to
make a good impression;
3. Personal Interview: Everything, from dress code and questions asked to giving thanks
to the interviewer, was discussed.
The talk then moved onto more generalized training regarding choosing a placement with their
“career” in mind rather than “job”, i.e. career over job. And lastly, Deloitte’s requirements in
a student were discussed, mainly desired qualities such as an eye for detail. They not only gave
the sections covered under their test but also the break-up for the test, which was:
Financial Ability – 20q x 25minutes
Quantitative Ability – 14q x 20minutes
Logical Reasoning – 14q x 14minutes
Verbal – 18q x 16minutes
