As part of University Social Responsibility, Kaziranga University recently conducted a pool campus placement drive on 10 February 2016 for Tata Consultancy Services in an attempt to bring academia industry closer for the final year students of all the regional colleges in and around Jorhat and nearby cities. As many as 400 students from 29 colleges across Jorhat and its neighbouring districts participated in the event. Out of which 253 were selected for the HR round. The selection process included aptitude test, HR round, group discussion and personal interview. The programme was conducted by the Placement Cell of Kaziranga University. Various officials from TCS and Kaziranga University were present to properly drive the placement process. Ms. Sreetama Dutta, an official of TCS said that every year TCS conducts such pool campus placement drives to search for talents among the budding graduates. "We are happy to see such great number of participants today. Kaziranga University has done a great job in providing us the platform to hold this placement drive. At the same time it is also providing a career path to most students of this region who belong to government colleges where placements drives rarely happen", said Sreetama Dutta. Kaziranga University is leading the effort to give the final year graduating students of this region a chance to have a firsthand experience of a placement drive. Our Career counselling programmes which are also a part of our University Social Responsibility lays special emphasis on empowering these students by imparting industry ready skills, which enabled them to get good placements in the off campus drive.
