The placement process at KITTS is a strategically coordinated effort that plays a pivotal role in shaping the career paths of its students. Serving as a crucial bridge between academia and industry, the placement team ensures that students are not only academically equipped but also professionally prepared to meet the dynamic demands of the job market.
At the core of this initiative is a dedicated Placement Committee, led by Dr. Hari Krishnan P. K., a faculty placement coordinator with over 16 years of industry experience in tourism. He is supported by a team of carefully selected student representatives who act as placement coordinators, playing an instrumental role in organizing and streamlining the recruitment process. The placement team operates with the active support and insightful guidance of Dr. Dileep M. R., Director of KITTS, and Dr. B. Rajendran, Principal. The efforts are further facilitated by Smt. Sindhu S., Head of the Department of Management, whose leadership ensures smooth execution of all pre-placement and placement activities.
KITTS implements robust Pre-placement Readiness Programmes (PRPs) focusing on key areas such as:
Typically, KITTS organizes three pre-placement training sessions during the academic cycle. These are supplemented by foreign language courses, computer skill enhancement workshops, and a comprehensive finishing school module designed to cultivate industry-ready graduates. Through mock interviews, group discussions, and interactive workshops, students gain the confidence and skills required to thrive in competitive recruitment environments.
The placement cell's proactive engagement with industry, alignment of curriculum with current trends, and a strong emphasis on soft skills development have earned KITTS a reputation for producing competent and industry-ready professionals, especially in the travel and tourism domain.
KITTS has established a strategic collaboration with the Kerala Knowledge Economy Mission and M/s Mahindra Pride to provide comprehensive pre-placement training for its students. This initiative is designed to enhance a wide range of employability skills including effective communication, job readiness, professional dressing, image management, and workplace etiquette. The training aims to equip students with not only technical knowledge but also the soft skills necessary to make a strong first impression and maintain professionalism in diverse work environments. This partnership underscores KITTS’ commitment to holistic student development and ensuring career success in a competitive job market.
