Students bag 22 jobs in the first round of placements
The first round of central placements at Delhi University
began on Tuesday with four companies visiting the campus to hire final-year students
as well as those pursuing post-graduation.
While a job portal visiting the campus hired 22 students mainly for sales and marketing
on the first day itself, three other companies, including an NGO, have gone back
with resumes of students. More than 800 students had turned up for the recruitment
process which went on till late evening on Tuesday.
According to officials from the Central Placement Cell (CPC), the average salary
offered on the first day was Rs. 2.5 lakh. The next round of placements will be held
on January 29 when a Japanese company will visit the campus with the highest placement
offer of Rs. 1.25 lakh per month. The company is likely to offer jobs in sales with
posting in Tokyo for first three years. The registration process for the central
placements, however, ended on October 31.
CPC had managed to place nearly 1,000 students last year of a total of
12,000 who had registered. Thirty companies had visited the campus for placements
last time that included PSUs, KPOs, BPOs and NGOs. The highest package offered last
year was Rs. 5.5 lakh per annum to a post-graduate student for finance profile. The
