The recruitment process is typically well-structured and follows a streamlined approach. Companies interested in hiring from FORE participate in on-campus recruitment activities.

Firstly, the Placement Team identifies and targets potential recruiters, inviting them for both final and summer internship placements. Once companies confirm their participation, they engage in pre-placement talks (PPTs) where they provide insights about their organization, culture, and career opportunities.

After the PPTs, companies conduct interviews and selection processes, which may include multiple rounds such as group discussions, case studies, and personal interviews.

If a student got a placement of 10 LPA then he is not allowed to sit for a company offering a package of 30 LPA. The policy of SIU is that once the student gets placed he is not allowed to sit further for placement. This policy ensures equal opportunities for every student and reduces the chances of unfair competition, thereby increasing the chances of every student getting placed.

The batch profile comprises students from diversified backgrounds, 68% of the students are engineers with strong technical backgrounds. This diversity is unlikely to pose any issues.

This means there is a lesser chance of any student being unplaced with less than 60% in graduation.
