Samarthya Bodh at TMIMT Successfully Prepared MBA Students for Real Placement Experience
The Centre for Teaching, Learning and Development (CTLD) at Teerthanker Mahaveer University organised Samarthya Bodh on April 13 and 14, 2026. This two-day mock recruitment drive was specially organised for first-year MBA students to help them understand real corporate hiring processes and test their placement readiness.
The event began with an introductory session led by Director–CTLD, Prof. Dr Pankaj Kumar Singh, who guided students about the purpose and structure of the programme. During the opening session, Dean of TMIMT, Prof. Dr Vipin Jain, highlighted the importance of practical exposure. He stated that “MBA education should not be limited to the classroom. Initiatives like Samarthya Bodh played a crucial role in preparing students for the industry. This initiative provided an excellent opportunity to boost students’ confidence and help them understand the real placement process.”
Real Corporate Experience Through Structured Rounds
The Samarthya Bodh at TMIMT included multiple stages designed to simulate an actual recruitment process. On Day 1, students attended an expert session by Mr Manoj Verma, Founder and Managing Director of Techsteps Pvt. Ltd. He shared valuable insights about corporate expectations, management roles, and interview preparation. He also emphasised that having a degree alone was not enough; skills, attitude, and continuous learning were equally important.
After the session, students appeared for a Written Assessment Test that covered aptitude, reasoning, verbal ability, and business knowledge. Out of 80 participants, 58 students qualified for the next stage on the same day.
On Day 2, the shortlisted students took part in the Group Discussion round. Their communication skills, leadership qualities, and clarity of thought were carefully evaluated. From this round, 49 students advanced to the final stage, which included HR and Management interviews.
The final interviews were conducted by a panel of experts who assessed candidates based on their overall personality, communication, and decision-making abilities. At the end of the process, 25 students were selected and were awarded mock job offer letters.
Strong Outcomes and Student Achievement
The results of the Samarthya Bodh at TMIMT reflected the effectiveness of the initiative. Among the selected candidates, 3 students received mock offers of 10 LPA, 9 students received 6 LPA, and 13 students received 4 LPA packages. These results gave students a clear idea of industry standards and salary expectations.
Director–CTLD Prof. Dr Pankaj Kumar Singh addressed the students and said that such initiatives provided real placement experience and helped students improve their management skills. The event also witnessed active participation and enthusiasm from MBA students throughout both days.
The program concluded with a vote of thanks by Trainer Jatin Dua. The successful execution of the event was made possible by the efforts of Senior Trainer Sagar Pratap Singh, Senior Trainer Pradeep Panwar, and the entire CTLD team.
