 The objective of this programme is to provide facilities to graduates to obtain the chances to participate in interviews and training, and broaden the occasions for graduates to get job opportunities through this programme. We hope to arrange and provide facilities for placement interviews by coordinating the meeting of graduates and the employers. We further hope to conduct this as a continuous programme.
