The unique feature of IIJT job fair is to synchronize candidate profiles and match with actual job profile. We ensured that students who meet the criteria pertaining to job profile only attend the interview so that there are fewer disappointed students. Even though IIJT Education does the Job fair every month , the response from Participating Companies and students have been gone up considerably , we had to refuse some companies , due to lack of time and space , companies have now started booking their availability one month in advance , so over a period of time we want candidates and companies to look no further than the IIJT Job fair , for Companies to get the right Candidates and Student to get the right Job.”

Speaking about the job fairs he also added that “Job fairs are an effort to link candidates to the right job and the response to the job fair clearly demonstrates the acute employability problem the industry is currently grappling with.”
