Over 1.2K students shortlisted at Delhi University’s Job Mela

The day-long ‘Job Mela 2025 – The Placement & Internship Fair’ witnessed an overwhelming response from both students and recruiters at the University of Delhi’s (DU) Multipurpose Sports Complex.

The event, which began at 9 am, brought together 61 companies, including 47 participating on campus and 14 conducting online recruitment drives, and saw the participation of over 5,000 registered students.

The Central Placement Cell, under the aegis of the Office of the Dean Students’ Welfare, organised the fair to create direct industry linkages and employment opportunities for students.

“Events like Job Mela 2025 reaffirm Delhi University’s role in connecting its students with real-world opportunities and nurturing the next generation of professionals,” Prof Ranjan Tripathi, Dean Students’ Welfare, said.

The Job Mela opened a wide range of career avenues with more than 1,500 job and internship positions available across sectors such as education, banking, financial services, insurance, business operations, marketing, sales, engineering and other service industries.

“I was a bit nervous at first, but once I started interacting with the recruiters, I felt relaxed. I’ve given my first interview today and it’s been a great learning experience,” Payal Kumari, a final-year BCom student, said.

Prominent recruiters included Muthoot Finance, AXIS IIT/NEET, Bajaj Capital, PCI India, Stubborn Factory and Bajaj Allianz, among others. The fair offered a mix of opportunities, 20 companies offering full-time placements, 10 providing internships, and several offering both.

By 4 pm, the University’s Central Placement Cell reported that over 1,200 students had already been shortlisted by various organisations, reflecting the enthusiasm and readiness of Delhi University’s talent pool.

“It’s such a good opportunity, so many companies are here under one roof. Even if I don’t get selected, I’m glad I got to understand how interviews actually work,” Rohit Singh, a postgraduate student, said.

With buzzing interactions, interviews and on-the-spot selections, the Job Mela turned into a vibrant hub of ambition, offering students a valuable platform to take their first steps towards promising careers.
