We at SCIT believe that all companies have unique recruiting needs. We welcome the opportunity to work with companies to develop an effective recruiting plan to meet their specific objectives. The lateral placement programme is an initiative in this direction, borne out of our regular interaction and feedback from recruiting companies. 

The lateral Placement Programme addresses the increasing needs of corporates for students with prior work experience. 

A lateral hire is described as any recruitment excluding 'entry' level' positions. The objective of lateral recruitment is to ensure that students with extensive work experience are placed at positions that fully leverage their expertise and professionalism. The focus is on ensuring that students get a career opportunity that is commensurate with their skill sets and maturity. 

Students having total work experience equivalent or greater than one year are eligible for this programme. 

What does the Lateral Placement Programme offer to the participating companies?

• Participants have relevant and good work-experience
• Learning experience at SCIT complements skills acquired on the job
• Participants with increased maturity in aspirations, outlook and career goals
• Prior experience obviates need for training, compared to fresh graduates
