Ludhiana, July 31
Lady luck continues to be benevolent on the final year students of College of Agricultural Engineering. The on-campus interviews by top multinational and national companies hand picked the students almost a year in advance for placement.
As many as 27 graduate engineers of the last batch were placed well before the completion of their degree programme, according to Dean, College of Agricultural Engineering,
Dr S.K. Sondhi.
At least three final year students of B.Tech (Agril. Engineering) today got appointment letters from a firm in Pune. Agricultural Engineers, he said, continue to be in demand in tractor, oil engine and agro-processing companies. This only shows the importance and demand of farm engineering graduates in the present scenario.
