Prof. (Dr.) Sharma said that he believes to work on ground not only on papers and he expect from all to start maximum ground work.

Vice Chancellor announced to start a common placement portal, where every college’s placement officer can give a call for common placement drivers & submit their best placements, their queries and their other initiatives. He invited all TPOs to start working in teams to identify problems and solutions.

Before the address of Vice Chancellor, a formal inauguration session was held in which University Dean RIC Dr. Anirudh Pratap Singh has introduced all the organizations/bodies who were present for MoU.
