Mock interview drill prepares students for real-world job challenges
The School of Science and Technology (SST), in collaboration with C-Pace, organized a week-long Mock Interview Drill from 14th to 18th July 2025, aimed at enhancing placement preparedness among B.Tech, MCA, and B.Sc. (H) Data Science students. Held at the C-Pace Placement Cell and Lab-6 (SST), the activity focused on developing critical soft skills, effective communication, and real-time interview strategies.
The initiative was inaugurated by Dr. Pramod Kumar, Dean, SST, along with faculty members Dr. Gaurav Sharma, Dr. Vibhor Sharma, Dr. Swati Rawat, Dr. Suman Pant, Ms. Vaishali Gupta, and members of the C-Pace team including Ms. Diksha Mishra, Mr. Ashish Gupta, and Ms. Garima Kapoor. They highlighted the importance of interview preparation in navigating today’s competitive recruitment landscape.
Participants underwent a series of simulated interviews, covering one-on-one technical assessments, HR interviews, and group discussions. These sessions, held in both offline and online formats, offered students exposure to diverse interview environments. Evaluators, comprising subject experts and HR professionals, assessed students on verbal communication, problem-solving, technical competence, and overall professional conduct. Group discussions further enabled students to demonstrate leadership, collaboration, and analytical thinking.
An orientation session on 14th July briefed students on the structure and goals of the drill. The interactive and practice-oriented nature of the program was met with enthusiasm by the 46 participating students, who appreciated the valuable feedback shared by the interviewers. This initiative reflects SST’s continued commitment to bridging the gap between classroom learning and industry demands, fostering holistic development and workplace readiness among its students.
