Q. Are you different from other online job portals? How?
A. The popular online portals provide a 'company to individual' connection whereas CoCubes brings colleges and all its students onboard. We provide a 'company to college' connection. We have separate logins for training and placement officer and for all students of college interested in placement. Moreover our student data is authenticated by the college.
Q. How is your student data authenticated?
A. All critical parameters for students (academic, college, branch, year etc) are uploaded by respective college's training and placement officer onto our online system which auto generates student's logins. Also we register college's not individual students, so in addition to being authenticated, we also capture all students in the college who want to get placed.
