Online Placement in MAKAUT, WB to help Students in COVID Situation : Campus Karma

A Silver Lining Amidst the Pandemic

Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT), WB and its affilliated colleges are laying the groundwork for the virtual placement season beginning November. Already many students of MAKAUT have got this opportunity.

The Vice-Chancellor of MAKAUT, Prof. (Dr.) Saikat Maitra in this connection said virtual recruitment is gradually gaining momentum. In his words, “Earlier, we had only a few companies who opted to select students without being present on the campus. Now, remote hiring will speed up.”

The Training & Placement Officer of MAKAUT Anandarup Sarangi gave the following information about the Online Placement situation in the University this year:

40 Students Selected Through Online Interviews by Infosys.

IBM will be Conducting online Hackathon for university Students.

Start Ups like Indusnet Technologies, Integrity Web Informatics, Basuki IT Solutions will be conducting online Interviews for Students of MAKAUT

IT majors like Cognizant, Capgemini,TCS, Subex planning for recruitment drive through Online Mode.

Adobe Hackathon conducted for MAKAUT students by First Naukri.

Infosys Ideathon's free Training on current topics like AI , Python learning, etc. for all branches of Engineering has been conducted.

The reason why campuses are opting for the virtual mode is to ease the placement process. Prof. Maitra said, in this mode of recruitment there is no contact between the recruiting team and job aspirant. Also, there is no cost of transportation. Thus in this Corona Pandemic situation, Online Placement is practically the only alternative and in future too it may be the suitable choice for many recruiters.
