Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study that attempted to link students' placement prospects, operationalised through student perceptions of recruiting organisations to certain academic parameters such as performance in the entrance examination, group discussion, as well as personal interview, grade point average, internship marks, and ratings on extra- curricular activities. The study revealed that students having prior work experience got placement in organisations which are perceived to be better. Also, students with work experience performed better in the personal interview as compared to freshers. Further, students with work experience were found to be comparable with freshers in respect of their performance in the entrance examination, group discussion and internship.
