Manakula Vinayagar Institute of Technology (MVIT), a renowned Indian engineering institution, is committed to academic excellence and student development. To further enhance its graduates’ employability, MVIT sought an innovative solution to address the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, particularly in job interviews. This led them to iScalePro, an advanced talent assessment platform designed to optimize interview outcomes and streamline placement processes. The collaboration between MVIT and iScalePro revolutionized interview preparation, yielding significant benefits for both the institution and its students.
About MVIT’s Mock Interview Program
Prior to adopting iScalePro, MVIT’s assessment and mock interview practices were grounded in established educational methodologies. The institute employed a combination of written tests, group discussions, and panel interviews to evaluate students’ technical knowledge, problem-solving abilities, and communication skills. These methods were undoubtedly valuable, but they had inherent limitations.
Group mock interviews, while providing a forum for students to practice their interviewing skills, often resulted in uneven participation and a lack of personalized feedback. Additionally, the evaluation process relied heavily on the subjective judgment of faculty members, which could lead to inconsistencies in assessment outcomes.
While these traditional methods served as a solid foundation, MVIT recognized the need for a more sophisticated and scalable solution that could deliver personalized feedback, simulate real-world interview scenarios, and leverage data analytics to optimize the interview preparation process.
The requirements
MVIT had specific requirements for a talent assessment platform:
Scalability: The platform needed to accommodate a large number of students and facilitate multiple assessments simultaneously.
Customization: The ability to tailor assessments to specific departments and skillsets was crucial for providing relevant interview practice.
Video Interviews: MVIT wanted to incorporate video interviews to simulate real-world scenarios and assess non-technical skills such as communication and presentation.
Data Analytics: Comprehensive analytics and reporting features were essential for tracking student progress, identifying areas for improvement, and measuring the overall effectiveness of the platform.
