Which companies come at ICAI Placement and what is their criteria for selection?

Many companies shortlist students on the basis of no. of attempts like Coal India, ITC, etc. Otherwise, there is no as such criteria because I have seen many students in the campus who have passed in the 5th attempt but shortlisted by the company for interview whereas a student passed in the second attempt was not even shortlisted by any company. Even ICAI president can't give you the criteria on the basis of which companies are shortlisting students. So it depends on your luck as well.

There are actually many number of companies who do come in ICAI Placement and offered a very high pay package to students. Some of the companies are: 1. Pricewatercooper 2. Earnst&young 3. KPMG 4. Delloite 5. TCS 6. Accenture 7. Reliance 8. Bharti Airtel (has offered the highest domestic salary a few times) 9. Birla Group (Chairman is a CA) 10. ICICI Bank Certain local firms such as Manubhai and Co. in Ahmedabad involve themselves. Then certain foreign companies take part (the highest salary package till date which is 74 LPA was offered by a foreign company which is agricultural sector). According to the figures of the placements that took place in March 2017, a non-ranker was given the highest salary. So basically once you add the prefix to your name, your package depends on proving the following to the interviewer:Why you deserve to be selected for the role? Why you deserve to be paid the package you have asked for? At any given level of an interview, all you must need to know is how to smartly crack the interview.

Almost all the big shots like to recruit for their companies through campus selection. Most of the Public sector undertakings recruit CA/CMA as executive trainees (Finance) through their own recruitment notifications. Very few PSUs participate in campus placements for CA freshers. Some PSUs which participated in August 2016 were IOCL, BPCL, RailTel. Being PSUs, they follow reservation rules for recruitment as per Government of India rules. The shortlisting criteria (For IOCL- August 2016) for general category students was, minimum 60% of final marks. For reserved categories, it was a bit lower, around a minimum of 55% of final marks. I was shortlisted for Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) interview. After shortlisting of students, IOCL conducted a group activity followed by an interview with the panel. The selection depends on combined performance in the interview, group activity and marks obtained in their respective categories. One of my friend, who cleared his CA final exam in multiple attempts was selected for RailTel Corporation, as the interview panel was impressed with his knowledge. They don't select only rankers, they select people who are best suited for the job. I hope this would suffice.
