02 Placement
Career Preparation
Getting ready for work starts in the first year. Students are trained in communication and aptitude, learn from industry programmes on campus, complete internships, and practise the interviews and group discussions they will face.
Year by year
Four years, one direction
Preparation is spread across the programme, so that the final year is for sharpening rather than starting.
-
First year

- A career development orientation in the first-year bridge course

Internships
Work before the first job
2017–18 The year internships became mandatory for every student
An internship has been part of every student’s programme since 2017–18, to build the skills employers look for and make students industry-ready.
Alongside AICTE, the institution registered with Internshala, where students apply for internships free of charge.
MBA summer internship
Six to eight weeks in a company after the second semester, guided by an industry mentor and a faculty mentor — and a strong internship can end in a pre-placement offer.
Other paths
Beyond the campus drive
Not every career begins at a campus drive, and the preparation does not assume it will.
-
Government service
Support for students preparing for State and Central Government recruitment.
-
Higher studies
Guidance for competitive examinations, and postgraduate programmes at PMC Tech and beyond.
-
A language for work
Mandarin at the Taiwan Education Centre, taught by a dedicated trainer.
