Placement:
Presently the issue of employability and a mismatch in skillset of our youth and industry’s expectations is a major issue facing country’s policymakers. While it is also true that a majority of our graduates have skills but many times they do not have any platform where they can show their skills and get placed. The Government of Rajasthan handed over this responsibility to CEG to provide a centralised placement platform where all Rajasthan students will have placement opportunities. CEG takes this initiative quite proactively. This is evident from the fact that through the placement drives organised by CEG, more than 1,500 students got mployed in more than 20 renowned companies and MNCs within a year.
