Introduction

The idea of MKU Placement Cell has been initiated by our Honorable Vice- Chancellor on understanding the need for permanent placement to all the students of MKU campus and its affiliated colleges. The reason being that most of the students hailed from rural sector not having required knowledge and inputs related to career planning. Also the university being an apex body for all its ninety three affiliated colleges has a moral responsibility to offer required academic curriculum, teaching - learning practices, training and finally permanent placement for all the needy students to create sound society.
Incidentally, University Grants Commission (UGC) recentlyvide its letter F.No. 12-1/2013 (NSQF), dated: 19th December 2014, made it mandatory for all the Universities to establish a separate Placement Cell for strengthening the industry academia linkage and the counselling to the student community using the services of National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC). The UGC strongly believes that this process of counseling and skill development would guide the students regarding pathways available for progression and facilitate their placements. Therefore, the UGC had constituted a steering committee on skill development under the chairmanship of Humble HRM on 17th September, 2014 and resolved that all the Universities should start a separate placement cell for fulfilling its objectives stated above.
