• It ensures that the right candidate is made available with respect to a particular job description.

• It also provides support to companies in all possible forms like logistically and infrastructural resources.

• The prime-most method in which CPC helps is by organizing Job fairs, Campus drives, and recruitment drives.

• It is also planning to launch a training & placement portal on the Samarth platform. It will make the process of placements more channelized and updated.

Job Opportunities:

• As compared to the number of individuals that graduate from IGNOU, the placement percentage is quite less and not impressive.

Once you get registered for the placement cell, you will definitely receive notifications but that too prominently for graduation courses, not for masters courses.
