Recruitment drive in Aligarh Muslim University
By IANSSunday, February 27, 2011
ALIGARH - For the first time in the history of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), its students’ union organised a recruitment drive, an exercise to break away from the usual political muscle-flexing and rabble-rousing.
Four MNCs — HCL, Genpact, Kotak Securities and Valiant Media Group — were invited by the Aligarh Muslim University Students Union (AMUSU) Saturday. Over 200 students from different departments were present, out of which 30 got on-the-spot job offers.
“It is just the beginning, there is a lot yet to be done,” said AMUSU secretary Aamir Qutub, who was the convener of the drive.
“By this drive, a message is being imparted to the outside world that a students’ union is not only a place to politicise issues, but it is also the guardian of the students community and a body committed to their general welfare.
“We will be having a grand placement fair in the next few months, and will invite over 30 companies,” he added.
