It's raining jobs for Berhampur colleges

The campus recruitment at various technical and management institutions in Berhampur by the private companies has been encouraging this year.

Presidency College, one of the privately managed business institutions, has declared 100 per cent placement of the students of the final year of Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM).

Similarly, Ronald Institute of Technology (RIT), a private degree engineering college in the town, claimed that 114 students have been recruited by 24 different companies. The institute expects to place around 200 students in the next two months.

Roland Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, a sister institute of RIT, has tied up with a Hyderabad based biotech company Nitza Biologicals Pvt Limited to conduct campus placement for its students.

 

Almost all the students of pharmaceutical science of the institute have already bagged jobs in various drug and biological firms across the country, claimed its director J Surya Rao.

M Choudhury, placement coordinator, Presidency College said, “The placement drive started from the first week of March with pre-placement training for three weeks with reputed trainers”.

Around 35 students of PGDM have been selected for executive positions in at least three private companies including Chenai-based Roland Technologies, New Delhi-based entertainment company HB Entertainment and Kolkata-based Glodyne, said S K Padhy, director of the college.

Personality grooming and soft skill enhancement programmes are the basic things responsible for placement of professional students, Choudhury said.

The students of other institutes like Sanjay Memorial Institute of Technology (SMIT), Kalinga Institute of Technology (KIT) and Berhampur University also participated in the recruitment process, she added.

Meanwhile, 230 out of 350 students in the Government Industrial Technology Institute (GITI) have been placed in a motor vehicle manufacturing company.
