Potti Ganga Padmasri stood 8th with 85.87 per cent and third year student R. Anusha was placed 19th with 86.80 per cent. College principal and staff congratulated the students.

A two-day job fair participated by a host of ITES, BPOs and core engineering companies was conducted at Vignan University on Friday and Saturday for final year students of B.Tech, MCA and MBA. Some of the participating companies were Infosearch, Allsec Technologies, L&M Green Stock Solutions, Red E Solutions etc.

More than 700 students from the host campus and neighbouring campuses – RVR& JC, Bapatla Engineering College, Nalanda and Loyola engineering colleges participated in it. The recruitment process comprised two phases: group discussion and personal interviews.

Eight recruiters selected 90 students. While giving their feedback, the recruiters said that the students of this region, though very good at domain knowledge, were loosing their share of opportunities to their urban counterparts because of their heavy mother tongue influence in English speaking. They advised the students to practice to improve their accent.
