DU Placement Cell Focus on Recruiting Differently Abled Students

New Delhi: With the changing scenario of the employment sector and the hiring process returning back to normal, companies are swooping back to Delhi University (DU), to participate in the university’s central placement drive beginning January 25, 2010.
 
Seema M Parihar, CPC Chairperson said that they want all the colleges to send them the details of differently-abled students so that the process of recruitment can be started as soon as possible. They have been talking to the companies regarding recruitment of these students as part of their corporate social responsibility. Also, they hope more companies would come forward.
 
According to Central Placement Cell (CPC) officials this time, companies are also showing an interest in recruiting differently-abled students. Therefore, CPC has written to principals of colleges to compile the performance records of students in this category. According to the statement of Parihar, last year only two differently-abled students were recruited. This year, a company has already asked us to collect details of all such students to facilitate their recruitment on campus.
 

As per sources, CPC was started in 2008 to recruit final year undergraduate students from different colleges through a central recruitment process. The facility was extended to postgraduate students last year. CPC has made a stronghold in the university with companies willing to recruit more students this time. It has also been promised a package of Rs 14-16 lakh, highest so far, by a South African company once it visits the campus to hire students of MA Economics.
