ICAI Campus Placement

Just a knowledge sharing post regarding ICAI campus placement and my experience (Since CA final results will be announced in one month) So after 1 week of CA final result, the placement site will be open for registration in campus placement. Last time result was on 10th Jan and last date for registration was 31st Jan. In the registration form, you have to fill articleship experience, location, no of attempts, other degrees, desired minimum salary, area of interest etc.

Companies shortlist candidates mainly on 3 conditions - No of attempts, Location and articleship.

So after registration, you can see in around one week which companies have shortlisted you in first round. In our case it was 7th Feb. i was shortlisted by 7 companies (multiple attempts CA here). You can see details regarding CTC, job description, Interview dates etc on site when companies short list you. Out of which you can give consent to 4 companies only. I gave consent to a big 4, a bank and 2 MNCs. There will be second round of shortlisting too if you are not short listed in first round.

Then interviews will start. HRs from companies you gave consent will call you and give you details. All my Interviews were on 23rd feb. Last time Interviews were from 21st feb to 8th March. I got selected in Big 4 which I was preparing for mainly. After you get selected you give a final consent to it and all your data gets deleted from the site. The company in which you get selected will contact you through mail/call after that for joining date, offer letter etc. The process is smooth but sometimes some companies shortlist and don’t interview candidates. That’s a bad thing since candidate’s one consent got wasted. So select companies after giving a thought.

Tldr 1. Companies will short list you on the basis of no of attempts, location, articleship. 2. You can give consent to only 4 companies. 3. You get around 10 days to prepare for interview. 4. Last time minimum CTC was 10 lpa in 90% companies.
