Some of the organisations that have hired students include HCL, CII, Tata Steel, Bharti Airtel, Mckinsey among others.
Prospicio prides itself at providing quality employment opportunities. We prefer companies who offer course based opportunities. A detailed study is done about the company and its job offer on the scale of quality aspects i.e. work culture and work-life balance, etc. Hence, the companies approached are encouraged to conduct on-campus placement drives for maximum participation by the students.
Prospicio also recognizes the importance of having some on-the-job experience in the practical world to be suitable candidates for placement and, hence, provides a platform for myriad internship opportunities across various fields for all courses.

Training in personal interviews and group discussions

Psychometric tests
These tests inculcate aplomb amongst the applicants and provide a launching platform to strengthen their competencies regardless of their courses.

Facilities
At KNC, we educate and nurture the young women with the knowledge of what a woman is, what a woman can be or do. There is a radical change in the place of women in the present day society and with this change, we believe in forging ahead freeing ourselves from discrimination and prejudice. The College envisions its students to become rightful participants in democratic process of the country while creating new horizons for other not-so-fortunate men and women in our society. We choose to emphasize on thinking and knowing, and we believe in cultivating in our students a sense of curiosity and a passion for questioning.
