MNCs hire AMU students in recruitment fair
Aligarh : More than 80 Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) students got job offers from Multi-National Corporations (MNCs) and over 150 await job confirmations to be released in the coming week after a series of pre-placement talks, group discussions and interview rounds in the day-long recruitment fair, ‘SAIRAAB’, organised under the collaboration of the Training and Placement Office-General and the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) on November 13, Sunday at the Kennedy Hall Auditorium.
Companies such as Stepping Cloud, Marque Impex, TeleCRM, Suo Jobs, Believe Pte. Ltd, UHM Vacations, Mindtel Global Pvt Ltd, Bansal Classes, Antal, Feedpro and others attended the programme sponsored by Marque Impex and co-sponsored by Resolv Education and Training Programs (RETP), USA to find potential employees from among AMU students.
Speaking at the inaugural function, AMU Vice Chancellor, Prof Tariq Mansoor said, “AMU fosters awareness around multicultural education and our students come from all Indian states and different countries. When employed by MNCs, our students from different cultural backgrounds bring their own skills and abilities to the table for more informed and inclusive decisions. I am sure the culturally diverse strength of AMU students will appeal to employers”.
He extended gratitude to the companies lined up at the recruitment fair to hire AMU students and presented mementoes to MNC representatives.
