I have had the good fortune of working with young graduates of the MA Development programme of the Azim Premji University for over a decade. The University instils in young professionals a certain sense of purpose, and provides them with the initial grounding needed to work in community focussed rural development. There are two qualities that stand out among the youngsters from Azim Premji University: a sense of intellectual humility and willingness to explore new lessons; and the ability to work in difficult physical and emotional settings.
We invite you to our Campus for recruiting our graduating Undergraduate and Postgraduate students.
It will be our pleasure to host you at our University for the Campus Placement process.
We encourage organisations to visit our campus and conduct the entire process in person, but we are also open to using Zoom/Skype/MS Teams, or any other suitable video-conferencing and/or telephonic facilities in case members of the organisation are unable to travel.
