3rd edition of Job-fair at H.K.I.M.S.R. campus on July 02, 2016
Mumbai | June 30, 2016: Job fairs are today common methodology to recruit freshers at entry level, which has become an active forum for initial screening of potential candidates. For the corporate recruiters, these forum offers an opportunity to reach young talents at terminal velocity—highest possible number of prospects in the shortest possible amount of time under one single roof. And, similarly for aspiring professionals, who are largely students, such job fairs provide a rare opportunity for them to meet multiple employers from varied industry verticals in OPOD (One Place, One Day).
Continuing with the success of organizing two earlier editions of Job-fair, where more than 60 different companies have recruited almost 1200 freshers from various academic and technical background in their mainstream industry activities. And, the institute aspires to provide employment opportunity to thousands in the near vicinity.

Infosys has been my dream company to work with and Job fair at HKIMSR helped me to achieve my dream,” quipped ecstatic Shankar Shetty, an engineering graduate from Mumbai after getting selected at Infosys during the second edition of job fair.
Not only students from other streams and other colleges, but our own students have got excellent breaks during the job fair.
