MYSORE, June 23: The slow down in the economy and negative industrial growth have been affecting campus recruitment in various professional colleges, particularly engineering institutions across Karnataka.
It was also evident from the low hiring by corporate houses and the industrial sector, resulting in negative head hunt annually.
While some reputed companies have kept their tryst with prestigious institutions such as the National Institute of Engineering (NIE), the Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering (SJCE) and other institutions in the city, the overall number of jobs on offer has come down. These companies have cut ties with second-rung engineering colleges altogether.
Admitting that recruitment was slow compared to the earlier years, G L Shekar, Principal, NIE, told UNI this was the general trend in all technical institutions. Mass recruiters do conduct campus recruitment tests at NIE, but have issued job offers to only 50 per cent of the candidates shortlisted. (UNI)
