Why Campus Hiring is Unconstitutional , Illegal and Improper?


I submit here under a question put forward by a facebook member before I submit my opinion on few points related to campus hiring. Following message will clear the minds of a lot of youths who are pleading for campus hiring on some ground or the other.

Mukesh Kumar"----- I can't understand why people are so jealous about campus recruitment..Recruitment from a good college which has taken admission on the basis of cat score is absolutely right. Mark my word that students who have scored well in cat can easily qualify any Bank Po exam, but very few who qualify Bank PO exams are capable of cracking CAT.

Agree that Hiring from a lower grade college which has not proper admissions criteria is wrong. So you cannot blame ALL Bcoz of few. Even in PO recruitment many unfair means are used. SO should it be stopped also???

The Campus recruitment policy should be tightened, but not be stopped.

My Opinion"---------

It is absolutely right that a person who can crack CAT can pass PO test but a person who is PO may not necessarily be able to crack CAT. But the question is that in campus hiring, it is not necessary that the employer will pick up only talented boys from CAT scorer only. When power comes in the hands of executives, he may go to any reputed or not- reputed campus where his relatives are admitted and employ his own boys and girls in the name of talent. It is also true that few of POs recruited through ALL India test are also weak, corrupt and inefficient. But this does not mean that employer should be given absolute power to pick their staff from any campus as per their whims and fancies.

Moreover the number of good CAT scorer is not more than 5 percent of total MBA available in India. If campus hiring is done only from IIM or IIT colleges, what will be the fate of those MBAs who are though talented but who are unfortunately admitted in other colleges?

As such it is not a question whether campus hiring is good or bad, it is the question of honesty of employer. In public sector the general managers who are empowered to recruit from campus do not look into quality of guys but the bribe or gift he or she offers to middlemen. In private sector employer pick up only those candidate who can enhance business growth.

There are hundreds of such unemployed youth who are not admitted into IIM or IIT due to various reasons, but their knowledge level is remarkable high. There are many youth who are resident of small towns and villages who are talented but will never get an opportunity to crack bank PO exam If all banks are permitted to fill the vacancies from campus.

Will anyone still consider Campus hiring as proper, legal and constitutional?

It is perhaps known to all that most of MNCs and big companies in IT sector go to reputed technical colleges in Bangalore and Chennai and reputed colleges of MBA. Student s of other less reputed colleges may be more talented but he or she will not get an opportunity to get job offer in campus. Our Constitution does not allow discrimination in employment opportunities especially to employer coming under government control.

It is therefore advised in the Constitution that public sector employer should conduct exams and interview to give employment in a more clear and transparent  manner so that manipulation and misuse of power may not spoil the future of not only unemployed youth but also the future of PSUs.


Some of the banks use to say that they pick officer from campuses for specialist job. In my opinion IIM colleges teach marketing tactics but not teach banking or credit  processing or forex dealing etc There are many officers recruited from campus as credit officer in banks  but in fact that they not know ABC of credit processing . They learn credit processing only by working in credit department for a year or two which any other officer can also learn who has been recruited through All India test . 

 In such position , the act of bank management of recruiting credit officer directly in scale III and not giving the same opportunity to scale I officer who are well versed in credit and who are waiting for promotion since long is totally improper, and illegal and unjustified.

I therefore have no hesitation in saying that bank management who are advocating campus hiring are not interested  for the gain of bank but for serving their vested interest only.  Power usually corrupts person and absolute power promotes total corruption .Everyone must keep this in mind.


What I mean to say that students enrolled in IIM colleges or IIT colleges are 

not only talented, students of other MBA and Technical colleges are also 

talented and they must be given equal opportunity in employment by all 

government departments.

Hiring banking personnel from B-School through campus interview

Now a days campus hiring is a big issue which is prevailed in PSBs & for this PSBs are going to appeal in Apex Court despite verdict given by Mumbai High Court. No question about talents of students of B-Schools but here some questions is put forward for the judgement..
--An electrician can do wiring despite of his/her low knowledge level…..Can a B-Tech student can do at first instance without any training or experience ?
--Our farmers are involved in boosting grains level of India despite their 0 level of knowledge…….Can a student of B-School can boost grain level despite having high knowledge ?
--A Labour- Mistry combination build many buildings despite having low level of knowledge under guidance of experienced high class builders…..Can a high-tech student can do without experience ?
Perhaps I am wrong here expecting such type of work from High-Tech Students…….
But
Here what I explained above belongs to Experience……..Any learned person won’t be successful if he has no experience.
Always experience remains crucial whether this is the field of Politics, Banking, Teaching, Construction, Agriculture…..etc etc
Anything becomes worthless if it is achieved easily.
In our country high class talents live in common place as well & as our constitution too empowers us to give equal chance to all……we can’t opt such things ignoring such type of talents.
Any type of recruitment should be through open competition for betterment of concerned institution. If top B-School students can crack banking exams easily come to the field & prove themselves.
