According to official sources, Engineering/MSc graduates with no academic backlog but lagging behind in employability and soft skills hailing from rural pockets are selected on the basis of aptitude tests and personal interviews.

During the free IT/Software training where the curriculum covers a wide range of topics including Java, Web Development, English Communication, Life Skills and Interview, their technical and soft skills were enhanced and made them employable in various industries.

Out of the 39 students in the first two batches who have completed their short term course at SSRTIC, Papanasam (Art of Living initiative), 11 have been selected for placement in various companies. The rest are also expected to be absorbed by companies/industries who have shown interest to conduct campus selection at SSRTIC soon, sources added.

The certificates were issued to the trainees at a function held at Thiruvalanchuzhi near Kumbakonam on Friday. Mayiladuthurai MP, S. Ramalingam and Managing Director, City Union Bank, N. Kamakoti participated and wished the interns success in their professional careers.
