University officials told to identify skills required by industries in the region, train students accordingly
Worried over the poor placements in state universities, the higher education department has now decided to strengthen the placement cell in the universities and monitor its performance.
The higher education department officials will now conduct regular meetings and video conferences with placement officers, registrars, and even controllers of examinations to guide, improve, and review the placement-related developments.
Expressing concern over the poor placements, higher education secretary C Samayamoorthy has urged varsity officials to identify employment sectors in regions surrounding the universities and their affiliated colleges and to provide training to students in those sectors and improve their placements.
