Job fair inaugurated
Chennai: The University of Madras campus presented a carnival
atmosphere as youngsters thronged the venue for a two-day job
fair that was inaugurated by Vice-Chancellor S. Ramachandran
on Saturday. The fair is open to students from across the State,
he said.
Thousands of young men and women lined up to register, fill
in forms, take tests and attend interviews on the premises.
Seventeen companies including ICICI, Airtel, Perot Systems,
HCL, and Allsec Technologies had sent in recruiters who conducted
the tests and interviews.
Around 5,000 candidates had registered online until noon on
Saturday. Those who had registered also took the online Techruit
test conducted for the registered candidates. About 100 counsellors
conducted sessions for the 2,000 vacancies.
Some companies were also seeking marine engineers. A group of
youths who had come from Madurai were keen on applying for jobs
in their core field, engineering. The students of Mohamed Sathak
Engineering College in Madurai, G. Karthikeyan and S. Gopalakrishnan,
who learnt of the fair from friends, had come to try their luck.
“I am confident that I will get a job today,” said
Mr. Gopalakrishnan. The friends had lost out on campus interview
in their college as they were out on project work, they said.
