CHANDIGARH: February 22, 2012: Central Placement Cell and PUCSC have planned to
organize on a Campus Drive, ‘AVSAR’, on a massive scale for its students from various
streams.  The drive has been carefully divided into two days to a specific job type,
according to Specific Clusters.  The proposed dates for the drive are March 13 and 14,
2012, and the proposed location is the University Institute of Applied Management
Sciences (UIAMS) and University Institute of Engineering & Technology (UIET).
    Professor R.C. Sobti, Vice-Chancellor, Panjab University inaugurated the
official website of its Campus Placement Drive, ‘AVSAR’, at a press conference in his
office  today.  The website has up-to-the-date information on the proceedings and
development of the placement drive.  While it will help students to get them
registered on one hand, it will also assist them in preparing for interviews on the
other.   Those companies that are willing to participate in the drive can also
register themselves through this web portal.
    Special care is being taken to prepare the students for interviews.   This is
done through imparting special training by the industry experts to them.
    The Vice-Chancellor said that this drive is going to be one of its kinds where
maximum students will get quality placement.  He also said that the University
curriculum itself is very much industry oriented though, yet the kids these days are
smart enough to take it on.
    To prepare the students better, the university has organized a one-day
interactive workshop where the HR Heads of some leading organizations will be invited
to guide the students.
