The post-pandemic placement trend for several city colleges shows a boom in IT sector and pharmaceutical sciences as students from vocational and professional courses have been able to secure jobs despite the economic slump.
Apart from IT, pharmaceutical and related branches such as research and development, too, are witnessing a boom as companies such as Serum Institute and others have hired from us,” said Amit Chopra, assistant placement officer of the university.
Chopra said while traditional sectors such as engineering and technology have not lost much, service sectors such as hospitality, hotel management and tourism have been hit due to the pandemic.
We used to get recruiters from Punjab, Himachal and other nearby states, but due to slump in the local industry, hiring has been less this year,” said Manoj Puri, dean, placement in-charge, BBKDAV College.
