The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has signed an MoU with Monster India, to aid in providing job opportunities to students and fresher candidates across India. Under the MoU, Monster India will manage and monitor campus recruitment activities of over 10,360 colleges approved by AICTE with a collective intake capacity of over 36 lakhs students. This comprises of students from various streams- engineering and technology; applied arts and craft; hotel management and catering; management; pharmacy and architecture and town planning.
It will also provide a facility for practice tests to check employability, identify skill gaps through assessment and suggest proactive measures to overcome it. The practice tests include two aspects— general aptitude and core subject related. These tests are currently available for engineering streams and will be soon added for other streams as well. This non-exclusive agreement is a part of AICTE’s efforts towards improving campus placements and attracting maximum employer participation. Speaking on this announcement, Anil D Sahasrabudhe, Chairman, AICTE, said, “Such MoU will definitely help college students and fresher candidates seeking career opportunities. The young population is going to set the stage for a bright India tomorrow. It has been the endeavour of AICTE and colleges to provide the right platform and to ensure maximum students get employed.”
