About the Cell

Our Mahavidyalaya features a dedicated Career Counselling, Training, and Placement Cell that focuses on providing comprehensive career support for all graduates passing out from the college. The main endeavour of the cell is to get the students placed in reputed firms, industrial establishments, multinationals, banks, NGO’s, and the private sector. The cell ensures logistical support to the visiting companies at every stage of the placement process by making them infrastructure available to them. Our cell acts as an interface between the industry and the students. The Placement Cell arranges training programmes like Mock Interviews, Group Discussions, Communication Skills Workshops etc., and it also organises Public Sector Exam Training for students who are interested in joining Government Sectors.
