BACKGROUND

In the context of the current economic and development imperatives, students are expected to be agile and be able to respond to the diverse challenges in order to get placed in the rapidly changing industry. Industry dynamics are changing year on year and there is a great need for all academic institutions to continuously align with industry trends in order to ensure their students are developed not only as employable pool but also as deployable talent. The major objective of any educational institution is to identify the talented and qualified students and to have them placed in leading corporate companies before they complete their education. Various reports highlight the dipping trends of employability quotient in graduates and the need for proper coordination in placement activities in a more centralized way.
