The 16th edition of Alva’s Pragati mega placement drive ended on Saturday in Moodbidri, with 285 of the 332 participating companies selecting 2,394 candidates and shortlisting 5,935 for further rounds. A total of 15,539 job aspirants from across the country attended the two-day event, while 2,523 candidates appeared on the second day alone.
Exicom Tele-Systems hired 35 women engineers for its Hyderabad plant, up from 22 last year. Codeyoung selected four candidates with an annual package of Rs 8.36 lakh. HL Mando picked 99 B.E. graduates at Rs 3.4 lakh per annum. Tata Electronics chose 216 candidates, a majority of them women. Sagility shortlisted 65 candidates for packages between Rs 2.9 lakh and Rs 3.4 lakh. Results will be posted on alvaspragati.com within a week.
Claims that India’s job market is dying ignore mass hiring events like this one. But equally, 2,394 selections from 15,539 aspirants means barely 15% succeeded. The obsession with “mega drives” masks the reality that most candidates still go home empty-handed. When the next set of placement numbers is released, watch the ratio of selections to aspirants, not just the vanity totals.
