Campus placement in PATNA UNIVERSITY

PATNA: It seems lady luck is smiling on Patna University (PU) students these days. While the prospect of campus placement has already brightened with the willingness expressed by several organisations to visit the campus and select the suitable candidates, PU students are also in for some prestigious overseas scholarships. American consul general Henry V Jardine will be visiting Patna University on Thursday with a view to meeting the vice-chancellor and interacting with the students on emerging Indo-US relations. Post-graduate students of PU, especially those studying history and political science, have been invited to interact with the visiting dignitary. PU VC S Ehteshamuddin, when contacted, pointed out that the American consul general would also apprise PU students of various courses available for them in US universities and the scholarships available for them. Fulbright scholarship would also be discussed in detail. Meanwhile, a number of public and private sector undertakings would be visiting PU campus within a month or two for recruiting students. While a two-day campus placement exercise would be held by a reputed Delhi-based organisation at Patna Science College auditorium on September 8 and 9, another undertaking from Bangalore would be visiting PU on September 14 to select suitable candidates as campus ambassadors for Progeon, a subsidiary of the Infosys. PU Employment and Guidance Bureau have taken all the pains for organising campus placements and securing suitable jobs for university students. Different colleges and post-graduate departments of PU have also, of late, launched placement cells in their respective institutions with a view to providing jobs to students.
