What We Do
We aspire to find meaningful workspaces for our graduates
The Placements team at the University, comprising of students and faculty mentors, works relentlessly in realising our vision for our students to be engaged with the social sector after they graduate. This team works steadily and provides a platform to support students in finding the optimal place of work to contribute effectively in building a better society.
5,250+ of our graduates have gone on to find work that is purposeful and impressive. The kind of work they have taken up is significant and efficacious. Reflective of the purpose of the University, students have consciously chosen work, that they believe, fulfils their aspiration of contributing meaningfully to social change on the ground.
Over 300 organisations have participated in our campus placements, including large organisations in the NGO space, small organisations at the grassroots, research institutions, policy bodies, CSRs, quasi-government institutions and schools.
We endeavour to bring in organisations that adhere to the values, ethics and commitment of the University.
