Placement brochure
A placement brochure is the document a college’s placement cell sends recruiters to invite them to campus. It covers the institution, its programmes and batch sizes, last year’s placement record with dates, student projects and achievements, the facilities for drives and the placement cell’s contacts. Keep it short, factual and dated.

How long should each section of a placement brochure be?
Recruiters skim. A suggested length for each section, and what they look for in it:
| Section | Length | What recruiters look for |
|---|---|---|
| Cover | 1 page | College name, city, year of the brochure |
| About the college | 1 page | Accreditations and rankings, with years |
| Programmes and batch sizes | 1–2 pages | How many students in which branches |
| Placement record | 1–2 pages | Placed students, offers, median CTC, with the year |
| Student achievements and projects | 1–2 pages | Real work students did, not adjectives |
| Facilities for drives | 1 page | Labs for online tests, rooms for interviews |
| Contacts | 1 page | Who to email and call, and how fast they reply |

Copy these and fill in the brackets. The outline gives one line per page; the email goes out with the PDF.
How should you show placement statistics in a brochure?
Honestly and with a base. Recruiters and accreditation bodies both read these numbers, so they should match your records.
- Lead with the latest academic year and say which; keep a three-year table that matches your AICTE mandatory disclosure and NIRF data.
- Show students eligible, students who opted for placement, students placed and offers made. A rate without its base means little.
- Show the median CTC next to the highest. The highest offer alone suggests more than most students got.
- Name past recruiters only with their permission, and never use a company logo without it.
- Keep the lists behind the numbers: NAAC asks for the same data under criterion 5.
How should you send the placement brochure?
Send a PDF small enough to email, with a one-page summary in the body of the email. Write to the company’s campus hiring team rather than a general address, and follow up once after a week.
Update the brochure every year before the campus placement season, so the numbers in it are never more than a year old.
How can a placement cell back its brochure with data?
With the records behind every number. Kaabil Campus, from Kaabil AI by Redrob, keeps the readiness data a brochure needs and gives students proof of their skills to show recruiters.
Readiness by batch
Readiness by batch, department and skill area, so the cell can say which skills its students have, with evidence.
Verified certificates
Certificates issued by Kaabil AI (by Redrob) with a verification link that recruiters can open.
Assessments from your syllabus
Faculty-authored assessments, graded automatically, that show what students have cleared.

Questions placement cells ask
A placement brochure is the document a college sends recruiters to invite them for campus placement. It describes the college, programmes and batch sizes, the placement record, student achievements, drive facilities and the placement cell’s contacts.
An overview of the college with accreditations, programmes and batch sizes, last year’s placement record with the base numbers and median CTC, student projects and achievements, facilities for drives, and the TPO’s contact details.
Eight to twelve pages is enough for most colleges. Recruiters skim, so lead with programmes, batch sizes and the placement record, and send a one-page summary in the email body with the PDF attached.
Show it only with the median CTC and the number of students placed, for a named academic year. The highest offer on its own suggests more than most students received, and recruiters know it.
Ask each company before using its logo or name. Logos are trademarks, and recruiters notice when one is used without asking. Listing past recruiters by name also needs care: name only those who agree.
