College recruitment training (CRT)

Prepare engineering students for campus recruitment with programming, data structures and algorithms (DSA), company-style coding tests and mock interviews.

How the training works

Students practise solving problems, explaining their approach and presenting their work. Colleges receive attendance records, performance updates and a completion report for the agreed program.

Format · Campus training with guided independent learning

Book a focused CRT program or discuss the proposed 400-hour pathway. We agree the training calendar, batch plan and assessment criteria with your college.

What you’ll practise

  • Programming fundamentals, debugging and independent coding
  • Core and advanced DSA with timed coding assessments
  • Company-specific problem solving and competitive programming
  • Communication, group discussions and presentations
  • Resume, LinkedIn and GitHub profile development
  • Technical and HR mock interviews with feedback

From a baseline test to a mock interview

Use the baseline to decide where to start. A group that can already write programs independently can spend more time on timed data structures problems. Interview practice then gives students a chance to explain their reasoning and describe project decisions.

Example of student work

A student solves a timed coding problem, reviews the failed test cases and explains the revised solution in a mock technical interview. The placement team can use the assessment and feedback to identify areas for further practice.

The four-year college training plan

The proposed B.Tech and B.E. pathway includes 400 hours. Colleges can arrange the full plan or select training for a specific cohort.

The model includes 368 technical and practical hours and 32 career-development hours. We agree delivery, fees and participation requirements with each college.

Year 1: Programming foundations

48 hours

40 hours of programming fundamentals and 8 hours of communication and professional etiquette.

Evidence of learning: Basic programs, coding exercises and a professional self-introduction.

Year 2: Data structures & algorithms

148 hours

90 hours of DSA, 50 hours of advanced DSA and 8 hours of teamwork, presentations and communication.

Evidence of learning: Coding assignments, timed assessments and explanations of solution choices.

Year 3: AI projects & innovation

156 hours

20 hours of company-style coding, 80 hours of AI domain learning, a 48-hour hackathon and 8 hours of profile building.

Evidence of learning: Reviewed projects, a team prototype and work documented for a portfolio.

Year 4: Certification & interview preparation

48 hours

40 hours of Azure AI certification preparation and 8 hours of resume refinement and technical and HR interview practice.

Evidence of learning: Preparation assessments, practical exercises, an updated resume and interview feedback.

The two 40-hour AI domain modules include their practical workshops and evaluations. The 48-hour hackathon is included in the 400 hours. We check the provider’s current exam objectives before teaching the certification module.

Common questions

What does college recruitment training cover?

CRT covers programming and data structures, timed coding tests, communication, professional profiles and technical and HR interview practice. The agreed scope depends on student readiness and the college’s placement calendar.

Can we book CRT for one cohort?

Yes. Colleges can discuss a focused CRT program for one cohort or a proposed four-year pathway. Share the year group, batch size, existing skills and time available.
