Campus hiring tests and interviews, proctored at every round

A campus drive compresses a whole hiring funnel into a few days: hundreds of applicants, a handful of interviewers and a deadline set by the college calendar. Eagle Vision lets employers run every round online, from the first aptitude screen to the final technical interview, with the same protections at each step and one prepaid balance to pay for it.

This page is for employers running campus or off-campus fresher drives, and for the placement officers who help organise them.

The campus drive problem

Online placement tests solve the logistics but create a trust problem. Students take the test on their own laptops, often in hostel rooms, at the same time as their friends. Without controls, a shared answer sheet or an AI chatbot in another tab can flatten the results, and you end up shortlisting the best-connected students rather than the best-prepared ones.

Employers need a test that is easy to send to a large batch, controls that make outside help harder and visible, evidence to check when a result looks too good or a student disputes a decision, and a cost that scales with the number of students rather than a fixed annual licence.

Round 1: a timed multiple-choice screen

Start with a short screen built from timed multiple-choice sections for aptitude and technical topics. Set the time limit, then send each student their own link. Students don’t install anything or create an account: they open the link in a desktop browser and pass a quick device check first.

Each attempt is timed and sealed. The countdown cannot be paused, and the attempt is submitted automatically when time runs out. The student’s camera is on and the attempt is recorded from start to finish. The test runs in fullscreen, and leaving it, switching tabs, moving the cursor to another screen, or copying, cutting or pasting is flagged in the report.

Keep this round short. Thirty to forty-five minutes is usually enough to separate students who have the fundamentals from those who don’t.

Assessments don’t have a fixed start time. Each link stays open for the period you choose, from 1 to 30 days, and the timer starts only when the student clicks Start. If you want the whole batch to sit the test together, agree a time with the placement cell and keep the window short.

Our guide on multiple-choice or coding assessments explains which question types suit which roles.

Round 2: coding questions for shortlisted students

Send a second assessment with coding questions to the students who clear the screen. Use the questions your team has written in the question bank, or pick from a small shared pool of ready-made coding questions that come with visible and hidden test cases. Two or three problems in 60 minutes gives a clear signal for most fresher engineering roles. The same protections apply: camera, fullscreen, flags and a sealed timer. The recording shows the question, the code, the run results and the timer alongside the student’s camera.

Because only the shortlist takes this round, you spend the longer, costlier assessment on fewer students.

Round 3: live interviews in fullscreen lockdown

Bring the final shortlist into live interviews in fullscreen lockdown. You talk face to face on camera, write and run code together on a shared code pad, and see a live flag if the student leaves fullscreen, switches tabs, moves the cursor to another screen, or copies, cuts or pastes text. A live integrity score shows how the session is going. Every interview is recorded with the video call, the code pad, the flags and the score.

On a busy interview day, every interviewer gets their own login (packs include unlimited employee logins). Interviewer, Admin and Owner roles keep access tidy, and the audit log records who scheduled, started and ended each interview and who left feedback.

A good live round is also your best check that the earlier scores were the student’s own. Ask them to explain one of their Round 2 solutions and to change it on the spot.

Review fast: integrity score and flags first, recordings when needed

With hundreds of attempts, nobody can watch every recording. Each assessment report brings the answers, the flags and the recording together with an integrity score out of 100. The score starts at 100 and drops by a fixed amount for each flag: 15 for leaving fullscreen, 12 for the cursor leaving for another screen or app, 10 for a tab switch or the window losing focus, 8 for a paste and 5 for a copy or cut. Scores of 80 or more show green, 50 to 79 amber and below 50 red. It is rule-based, not AI, so you can always see why a score fell.

Start with the score and the flags, and open recordings only for the attempts that need a closer look. Every flag is timestamped, so clicking it takes you to that moment in the recording.

A flag is a reason to look, not proof. A student whose laptop briefly lost fullscreen because of a system pop-up is not the same as one who pasted a full solution. Review the recording before you reject anyone on integrity grounds. Our online assessment proctoring guide covers fair review in more detail.

What it costs for a batch

Assessments use half their scheduled time in minutes. Live interviews are charged on the minutes actually used: minutes are reserved when you schedule, unused minutes come back when the interview ends, and nothing is charged if nobody joins. Here is a worked example for a drive of 300 students:

Round	Students	Length	Minutes
Multiple-choice screen	300	40 min	300 × 20 = 6,000
Coding assessment	60	60 min	60 × 30 = 1,800
Live interviews	15	40 min	up to 15 × 40 = 600
Total			up to 8,400

Three Enterprise packs (2,700 minutes each, ₹8,505 each) plus one Starter pack (360 minutes, ₹1,794) give 8,460 minutes for ₹27,309 + GST. That is about ₹91 + GST per student who sat the first round, and any minutes left over stay in your balance for the next drive, because credits never expire.

Plan for no-shows. An assessment’s minutes are set aside when you create it, and they are returned if you cancel it before the student starts. If a student drops out, cancel their assessment and the minutes come back.

New organisations get 90 free minutes, enough to pilot three 60-minute assessments with colleagues before the drive. See pricing and secure assessments.

For placement officers: what students should know before the test

Placement cells can prevent most problems on the day by briefing students in advance. Share this list:

• Device: use a laptop or desktop with a working webcam and microphone, plugged in to power. Phones aren’t recommended: the fullscreen, camera and microphone checks must pass, and iPhone browsers generally lack the fullscreen support needed.
• Browser: use an up-to-date Chrome, Edge or Firefox. There is nothing to install and no login. Open the link and complete the device check before you start.
• Connection: use a stable connection and avoid switching networks during the test.
• Room: sit alone in a quiet, well-lit room, with your face clearly visible.
• Before you start: close other apps and tabs, disconnect any second monitor, and silence notifications so pop-ups don’t interrupt you.
• Timing: the link stays open for the period your employer sets. The timer starts when you click Start and can’t be paused.
• During the test: stay in fullscreen, keep the cursor on the test, don’t switch tabs and don’t copy or paste. These are flagged.
• Recording: your camera and the test itself are recorded for the whole attempt.
• Problems: if something goes wrong, note the time and tell the placement cell straight away.

The check for a second display works only in Chrome and Edge, so ask students to use one of those if you want it.

If the drive runs in a college computer lab, keep a human invigilator in the room as well. The platform and the invigilator catch different things.
