TalkDrill for Colleges & Universities - Placement English Programme
Skip to main content
For placement cells and training departments

Get every student interview-ready — and see who actually is

Each student takes a placement test, then works through a weekly plan of AI mock interviews, group discussions, writing and grammar. Your placement cell and faculty see readiness across seven skills, plan for drives and export what IQAC needs — in one console.

The numbers above are TalkDrill’s overall learner numbers, not institutional results — we are new to running batches for colleges and companies, and we would rather tell you that than show you logos of clients we do not have. Talk to us and we will walk you through the real product before you commit to anything.

What your students actually practise

Everything here works today on the web, on a laptop or a phone’s browser, and most of it in the Android app too. The newest campus tools reach the web first and follow in app updates. Nothing here is a roadmap item.

A placement test that sets the starting line

Adaptive grammar and vocabulary questions, a read-aloud, a short written task and a recruiter-style speaking round: read sentences aloud, repeat what they hear once, answer listening questions. Every result says what it was measured from, and nothing auto-fails.

A weekly plan on every student’s Home

Three short missions a week, each with the reason it was picked, plus controls for an exam week or a quieter task. A short checkpoint every one to two weeks updates their readiness across seven skills.

AI mock interviews, with a scored report

A full interview with an AI interviewer — including one built from a pasted job description — then a report they can act on: an overall score, the filler words they leaned on, their speaking pace, and the three fixes that would move the needle most.

Telephonic screens and a Story Bank

A six-minute, six-question recruiter phone screen on a deliberately poor line. And a Story Bank that turns six guided prompts into true STAR stories in the student’s own words — interview questions are then built from those stories.

Group discussions, with AI and with batch-mates

An AI group discussion — the student, an AI moderator and two or three AI speakers — scored on five GD criteria, with their share of the talking measured. When faculty book them, practice pairs and five-person GDs with batch-mates too.

Feedback that teaches, and Hindi-first answering

Interview, roleplay and writing reports name one strength, one change quoting the student’s own words, a two-minute drill and a retry with a before and after. In guided practice a student can answer in Hindi or Hinglish first; the coach asks again in English and scores only the English answer.

Roleplay, writing and pronunciation, all scored

AI roleplay at a difficulty you set, from a viva to a salary conversation. Emails and essays scored on task response, organisation, grammar, vocabulary, mechanics and tone. And every spoken session scored on pronunciation and fluency.

Two English courses and 20 games

English Grammar Basics and Everyday Spoken English: about 100 short chapters that end with the student saying it out loud, with progress and stars per learner. Plus 20 short vocabulary, grammar and listening games for the days nobody has twenty minutes.

What your placement cell and faculty get

A web console you log into. We have not put a screenshot of it on this page, because a designed mock-up is not the product — we will share the screen and show you the real one, with real batch data, on the call.

Readiness by student and by batch

One readiness picture per student across seven skill families, with coverage shown: a skill not yet assessed says so and is never scored zero. Next to it, when they last practised and how their scores have moved — rolled up per batch, section or department.

Leaderboards

Ranked by practice minutes, XP, interview score or, if you switch it on, readiness — scoped to a batch or the whole institution. Students see the top ten and their own rank; staff see the full list.

Placement calendar and drive sprints

Add a company drive with its date and the eligible batches, and those students’ plans switch to a seven-day drive sprint with a countdown on Home. Afterwards, record each student’s outcome and see it next to their readiness band.

Seniors as interviewers

Flag placed seniors and they can run their company’s mock round for juniors. The AI scores the junior and the senior’s listening, and the questions seniors recall go into a question bank only your college sees, once staff approve them.

Assignments, a Monday co-pilot and pacing

Faculty set interview, roleplay, writing or lesson work as guided or independent practice, see the AI score and can override it with a reason. Every Monday a co-pilot drafts one assignment per batch from its weakest skills, and faculty choose whether work opens all at once or one step at a time.

Practice slots and lab days

Book a whole batch into level-matched pairs or five-person GDs with task cards, or start a live GD or mock-interview day in the lab. Attendance comes from actual time in the room, never from a tap.

Group classes with trainers

Workshops, masterclasses and mock-interview marathons, in a TalkDrill room or on Meet or Teams. Upload a class transcript to score each student’s share of the talking; the text itself is not stored.

Batch reports, a weekly email and CSV

Per batch: who joined, started and finished, baseline against latest, weakest skills and drop-off, plus a pilot evaluation across the rollout. A weekly email covers readiness movement, who is at risk and classes coming up, and every table exports to CSV.

CO/PO and accreditation exports

Map the seven skills to your course outcomes once, then export CO/PO attainment and NBA, NAAC, NIRF and AICTE appendix tables, each with its denominators and sources — labelled as evidence for faculty and IQAC review, not a compliance claim.

Ask the console

Ask a question about your own students in plain English and get an answer, with a chart where it helps, that names the report behind every number. It only sees what your role is allowed to see.

What staff can and cannot see

Worth reading before you take this to a student body or a works council. The second column is how the product is built: private practice stays with the person who did it.

Staff can see

When someone last practised, how many sessions and how long

Their scores and progress: readiness across seven skills, interview, speaking, grammar and course chapters

How their placement test was taken, next to their own explanation

Where they stand against your own rules — checkpoints done, classes attended — shown apart from their skill scores

Attendance and participation scores from classes and practice slots

Their rank on their batch’s leaderboard

Staff cannot see

What anyone said in their private practice: no transcript and no replay

Their chats with the AI, their notes, or anything outside TalkDrill


Members are shown exactly this before they join, and they can leave from their own settings at any time. Thirty days after someone leaves, their individual detail is removed from the console; your batch and team totals are unaffected.

How setup works

Four steps, and the first one takes about two minutes.

1

Tell us your numbers

The form below takes about two minutes: how many students, how many batches, and when you need it running. We reply within two working days.

2

A 30-minute walkthrough

We open the real console and the real student app and answer whatever the placement cell wants to poke at. No slide deck.

3

A free 30-day trial with one class

Up to 40 students and 15 staff, free for 30 days, with nothing to sign. Students join with a join code, an email-domain rule or a roster you upload, and the console tracks them from their first session.

4

Choose a plan for the rollout

Pick Campus Pro (₹1,999) or Campus Pro+ (₹4,899) for the batches you want to continue. Both are per-student annual licences, plus GST, confirmed in writing.

Pricing for colleges and universities

Two per-student annual plans: Campus Pro at ₹1,999 and Campus Pro+ at ₹4,899 per student per year, plus GST. Every seat includes a daily AI practice allowance; Campus Pro+ has a larger one and more time with trainers. There are no batch tiers to fit into.

Questions placement cells actually ask

Do students need a laptop or a computer lab?

No. Students practise on their own phone — in the Android app or the phone’s browser — or on a laptop if they prefer, with the same account. There is nothing to install on college machines and no lab you have to book; practice slots and lab days are there when faculty want them, not a requirement. That is the main reason a batch actually practises rather than attending one session and stopping.

Can our faculty see what a student said in a practice session?

No. Staff see activity, scores, progress and rank. Nobody at your institution can read a transcript of, or play back, a student’s private practice conversations. We took that decision deliberately: a student who believes a hostile-persona roleplay might be read in a faculty office stops practising honestly, and then the numbers you are looking at mean nothing.

How do students join, and what happens when they graduate?

Three ways: a join code you share with the batch, an email-domain rule so anyone with your college address joins automatically, or a roster you upload. A student can leave from their own settings at any time, and thirty days after they leave, their individual detail disappears from your console — your batch-level totals stay.

How does pricing work?

There are two per-student annual plans: Campus Pro at ₹1,999 and Campus Pro+ at ₹4,899 per student per year, plus GST. Both include the student practice and the console described on this page, and every seat comes with a daily AI practice allowance; Campus Pro+ has a larger allowance and more time with trainers. There are no batch tiers to fit into. You can start with a free 30-day trial for one class — up to 40 students and 15 staff, nothing to sign.

Can we get the data into our own systems?

Yes, as exports. Every table in the console exports to CSV, a weekly summary arrives by email, and the marks and accreditation exports (CO/PO attainment, plus NBA, NAAC, NIRF and AICTE appendix tables) carry their denominators and sources for IQAC review. There is no direct connection to an ERP or LMS today.

How is this different from a soft-skills training vendor?

A vendor sells you contact hours — a fixed number of sessions, on a timetable, for a fixed group. This is practice a student can do at eleven at night the day before a drive, within a daily AI practice allowance on every seat, scored the same way every time. It is not a replacement for a trainer who knows your industry; it is the repetition and the measurement that a trainer cannot personally supply to four hundred students.
