As many as 320 students from 20 colleges in Hubli, Dharwad, Belgaum, Davangere, Tumkur, Ilakal, and Bagalkot participated in the placement drive organised by KLE Society's Institute of Management Studies and Research (IMSR) in Hubli.

And to screen them, officials of 10 leading business organisations, including IndusInd Bank, ING Vysya Bank, Sharekhan, India Infoline, Shoppers' Stop, and Getit Services turned up. While Ms. Ameena of Shoppers' Stop was happy with the kind of candidates she found during the drive, Suresh Naganur of ING Vysya Bank was happy with the improved communication skills and aptitude of the participating candidates.
