CHANDIGARH, MARCH 7

The placement of students of Technical Institutes including ITIs and Polytechnic would reflect in the Annual Confidential reports of institute heads.

            A decision to this effect was taken by Technical Education and Industrial Training Minister Mr. Anil Joshi to strictly monitor the placement record of all Technical institutes. The Punjab Government has issued instructions for the competent authorities to consider the placement of the students before writing Annual Confidential Report (ACR) of the principals of the concerned institutes.

The Minister said that the efficient principals ensuring good placements would also be suitably rewarded. He said that the ACR’s of principals, belonging to Polytechnic and Engineering Colleges and Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) of the state, would be written on the basis of the placement of the students. Minister further said that the issue of constructive use of the funds and grants would also be taken care of before writing ACRs.

Mr. Joshi also instructed the principals to have relations with more and more big corporate units to organize job fairs so that opportunities could be made for the students for the placements. He also asked the principals to start new courses considering the demands of the corporate sector.
