The placement process in Delhi University has kick-started with more than 40 companies expected to show up for hiring students from undergraduate, postgraduate and research courses. The registrations for the university's central placement cell (CPC) have begun recently.
According to CPC officials, the first round of placement drive for which many companies have already contacted the university, is expected to start in November first week. "Every year the number of companies coming to hire DU students increases. This year we are expecting more than 40 companies as the economy is in a stable condition. Last year we had around 35 companies participating in our drive," an official said.
Companies from sectors like Information Technology, Banking, Insurance, Marketing, Hospitality industry and Call Centers are expected to hire students in a huge number this year. "Companies like HCL Technologies, Genpact and Wipro come regularly. This year also we expect them to come. A lot of call centers also come as they need students with good communication skills," the official said.
Students can register themselves on the University's central placement cell (CPC) by creating a login and password. General category students have to pay a registration amount of Rs.100 while students from first-year and second-year can register for internship opportunities without paying any registration fees.
While information about upcoming companies and events are regularly updated on the university website, students will also be kept updated by emails and text messages from university officials.
"Students should check the university website regularly to get updates about companies coming for hiring. We will also update the schedule for seminars and workshops," he said. The CPC was introduced for students from various streams in the varsity.

Delhi University students’ union polls - ABVP sweeps after 18 years
Delhi University students’ union polls - ABVP sweeps after 18 years
After a gap of 18 years, BJP’s student wing Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad on Saturday swept Delhi University students’ union elections, trouncing Congress’ NSUI to bag all four positions and credited the triumph to “Modi wave”. The ABVP won posts of president, vice president, secretary and joint secretary by comfortable margins, bettering year 2013’s performance when it had lost one of the seats to the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI).
Mohit Nagar was elected president of DUSU while Pravesh Malik won the elections for vice president’s post. Kanika Shekhawat and Ashutosh Mathur have been elected as secretary and joint secretary respectively.
Chief Election Officer for the DUSU polls DS Rawat said Nagar polled 20,718 votes defeating Gaurav Tushir of NSUI who polled 19,804 votes for the post of president. The margin of defeat was 914.
Last year ABVP had won the posts of president, vice-president and joint secretary while NSUI had managed to capture only secretary’s post.
“Expectations of people have gone up after Modi government came to power. The ABVP fulfilled its promises of scrapping the four-year undergraduate (FYUP) programme. We won because of the Modi wave,” said Rohit Chahal, National Secretary, ABVP.
BJP national president Amit Shah took to twitter to congratulate ABVP on their victory.
“I congratulate ABVP for winning all 4 panels in DUSU elections. The students & karyakartas of DU deserve the credit,” he tweeted.
Parvesh Malik, who polled 21,935 votes, defeated NSUI’s candidate Mona Chodhary with the margin of 7,859 votes. Chodhary got 15,649 votes, Rawat said.
He said Shekhawat defeated NSUI’s Amit Sidhu Teema by 3022 votes. Shekhawat polled 18,671 votes while Teema polled 15,649 votes.
ABVP joint secretary candidate Ashutosh Mathur polled 23,133 votes while NSUI’s Abhishek Choudhary got only 12,065 votes. Mathur defeated Choudhary by 11,068 votes, which is the highest margin among all the winning candidates.
A total of seven candidates each were in the fray for the posts of President and Joint Secretary, while six candidates were in race for post of Vice President. Eight candidates were in contention for the Secretary post.
The polling was held in two phases yesterday and it saw a turnout of over 43 per cent. Around one lakh students were eligible to cast their vote in the keenly contested polls.
DUSU is the representative body of the students from most colleges and faculties of the varsity. The polls have been keenly contested over decades and are seen as a stepping stone to party politics.
ABVP candidates had won three of the four major posts of DUSU last year. Aman Awana, Utkarsh Chaudhary and Raju Rawat were elected as president, vice-president and joint secretary respectively.
The Congress-backed National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) had managed to win only one seat with Karishma Thakur being elected as the secretary.
