Now, Campus Placements at RGUHS

Business schools across India may be feeling the heat of global financial meltdown, but students in colleges affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) can start dreaming about landing better jobs once they graduate next year.

The RGUHS Syndicate, one of the key decision-making bodies of the University, has given its nod to set up an Employment Cell that will network with hospitals and healthcare companies to provide better placement facilities to passouts.

At its meeting last month, the University decided to collaborate with the Directorate of Medical Education, autonomous institutions and other affiliated colleges to work out modalities for setting up of the Employment Cell.

“Already engineering colleges and business schools have the system of campus placements where companies are invited by institutions to recruit students. We want to extend this concept even to medical, dental and nursing students.

There is a shortage of health care professionals and we will try to see how our students can fill the gap,” RGUHS registrar Vasantha Kumar said.

The Syndicate also took cognisance of complaints made by Sudanese students at KKECS College of Pharmacy, Bangalore.

The students had complained about poor infrastructure and lack of qualified staff to the Chancellor, who referred the matter to RGUHS.

The University has now decided to seek legal opinion regarding transfer of students to other colleges.

The JK Arora committee report on the internal assessment marks scandal of September 2004 was also placed before the Syndicate.

The members resolved to discuss the issue at the next meeting on November 25. The view of the Syndicate has been due for more than two years now. As per the RGUHS Act, the government cannot initiate action on the probe report without seeking the opinion of the Syndicate.
