Chaos in placement drive, 2497 candidates get job

INDORE: Chaos prevailed in placement drive when nearly 10,000 candidates reached to get registered for jobs offered by corporate companies. Perhaps for the first time in the state, 2497 candidates were offered jobs in a single day.

Two days back,

Arihant Management College

located on

Khandwa

road had announced to hold a job fair without any registration fees. Knowing about the drive, candidates from far-off cities including

Gwalior

, Jabalpur, Jhansi thronged the placement drive site. Seeing the unexpected crowd, college management had to call police for managing the large mob. “We did not expect students turning out in such a large number. We have arranged facilities for limited students. But, overall it was a

win-win situation

for candidates and companies,” said

Kavita Kasliwal

of the college.

With such a large number of companies gathering at a single platform for a day to hire candidates with traditional course qualification including BA, BCom, BSc degree, students reported in large number. Companies that were initially planning to offer 500 jobs offered roles to nearly 2500 candidates.
