The workshop was designed for final-year students of BA, B.Sc. and B.Com, with the aim of preparing them for campus placements and career opportunities. The session focused on equipping students with practical skills required to face professional interviews confidently.

Prof. Mohammed Ganim, Students’ Welfare Officer, hosted the programme and coordinated the session. The event began at 10 am with the recitation of the Holy Qur’an by Abdul Badi Siddiqua of B.Com final year. Suraqa Hasan from B.Com final year delivered the welcome address. Umer Ekkeri introduced the resource person and spoke about the importance of interview preparation in today’s competitive job environment.

The workshop was led by Prof. Jaikishen Bhat, who addressed various aspects of interview readiness. He explained the expectations of employers and the need to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry requirements.

One of the key segments of the workshop was a Listening Skills Activity, where students took part in an interactive exercise to improve their ability to understand questions clearly before answering. The session included real-time evaluation of responses, helping students identify common errors such as interrupting, providing irrelevant answers and lacking proper structure in their replies.

The resource person also explained the concept of Graduate Trainee Programs in corporate organisations, detailing the stages of training such as orientation, departmental rotation and periodic assessments. He highlighted the importance of developing technical knowledge, soft skills and leadership qualities.

A 26-step guide to interview preparation was presented, covering resume preparation, company research, communication skills, body language, grooming, situational responses and post-interview follow-up. The session was conducted in a practical manner aligned with industry expectations.

A memento was presented to Prof. Jaikishen Bhat by the Principal as a mark of appreciation.

The programme concluded at 1 pm with a vote of thanks delivered by Aash Matta. Event documentation was handled by Salim Armaan (videography) and Yusuf Ayaan (photography), both from B.Com final year.
