Tech education body introduces placement portal for students in rural, tribal areas

The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has launched the 'AICTE Placement Portal' with the aim of aiding students in rural and tribal areas in their pursuit of equal job opportunities. AICTE Chairman TG Sitharam inaugurated the portal, which saw virtual participation from over 600 AICTE institutions and industry partners.

TG Sitharam emphasised that this portal would eliminate the need for students in rural and tribal regions, especially those pursuing technical courses like engineering, to extensively search for jobs. It will directly connect them with numerous multinational companies.

He further said that upon registration on the portal, students would gain access to a wide range of job opportunities aligned with their subject expertise. Currently, more than 4,000 companies have expressed interest in joining the portal.

TG Sitharam noted that the portal would soon be integrated with the AICTE Internship Portal. The user-friendly design of the portal ensures accessibility even in areas with limited internet connectivity and slower speeds.

The portal now extends its services to over 6 lakh villages and tribal regions and addresses language barriers by offering content in multiple languages.
