New Delhi: After Delhi University (DU) launched its first placement cell earlier this month, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has also decided to setup a placement cell on campus to help students get jobs after they graduate.

The varsity administration has formed a committee to finalize the establishment of the cell. The committee will submit a report on the cell soon.

The placement cell will be operational by the next academic session, varsity officials confirmed.

Ram Adhikari Kumar, Rector, JNU, said, "Although individual schools are helping students get jobs, the placement cell has been long demanded by our students. The cell would definitely be beneficial to the students".

The National Student's Union of India (NSUI) yesterday presented a request signed by 3000 students of the varsity to the Vice Chancellor pressurizing him to setup the placement cell soon.

Delhi University (DU) launched its first central placement cell on September 18, 2008.

Making the process as student-friendly as possible, the varsity made registration forms available online on its website www.du.ac.in as well as in all the colleges so that all a student has to do is access the form, fill it in and then wait for the call from a company.
