Scottish Church College (SCC), Kolkata, has a dedicated Placement Cell established in 2004, located on the ground floor of the B.Ed building. The placement cell is headed by the Placement Officer, Mr. Tridib Mohan. It acts as a vital platform for final-year students to connect with recruiters and display their skills for job opportunities.
The cell’s core functions include:
Inviting companies to conduct campus recruitment drives.
Registering interested students for these drives.
Facilitating the recruitment process through coordination between students and recruiters.
Organizing seminars, workshops, and grooming sessions to hone students' soft skills and industry readiness.
Arranging pooled campus drives at other colleges for additional opportunities.
Offering career counseling and placement assistance to students throughout the final year and beyond.
Despite being active, some student feedback suggests the placement cell could be more effective and proactive in extending job opportunities, especially to science students.
Several reputed companies regularly participate in SCC’s placement drives, recruiting across varied roles such as data processing, customer service, graduate trainees, and others. Key recruiters include:
Cognizant
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)
Infosys
Amazon
Genpact
ICICI Bank
Kotak Life Insurance
EY (Ernst &Â Young)
Indigo Airlines
Sutherland
L&T Infotech
Path Finder
These companies offer roles in IT, banking, insurance, consulting, customer support, and finance sectors.
The placement rate varies with roughly 25% to 54% of students getting placed in recent years depending on the department and course.
For the UG 3-year students, median salaries have ranged around INR 2.45 lakh to INR 3.00 lakh per annum in the past few academic years.
PG 2-year students have median salary offerings between INR 1.8 lakh to 3.19 lakh per annum.
The highest CTC offered reported in recent years was as high as INR 9 lakh per annum, with other sources mentioning approximately INR 7.7 lakh per annum as the top package. Average packages for UG students hover around INR 2 to 3 LPA, with slightly lower figures for PG students.
Some reports suggest the average package sits near INR 3 lakhs per annum.
SCC offers limited official internship opportunities; however, the placement cell and academic departments arrange connections for summer internships, primarily through sponsored projects or SERB-funded initiatives.
The college circulates internship openings for roles that demand 4-5 hours a day over a month or more, sometimes as virtual internships through collaborations and funding agencies.
Many students independently pursue internships via online platforms or personal networking.
