MISSION AND VISION OF THE CELL——

The Career Counselling and Placement Cell; Durgapur Government College works with the mission of promoting higher education and placement of students and aims in guiding the students in their choice of future career. The Career Counselling and Placement Cell projects the guiding principles in such a way that the students may visualize a plan for themselves following which may lead them to success. This makes the present and ongoing study of students all the more goal directed. The Cell has the mission of reaching out to maximum number of students and benefit them. The vision of the cell is to ignite that confidence in students of all kinds; with different learning habits, mode of understanding and technique of adaptation to skills; which would help in considering themselves as self independent and self reliant. The readiness of a student is perhaps the best tool by way of which he or she can cope with the future challenges which the Job market thrusts on. The Career Counselling and Placement Cell have the mission of shaping this readiness of mind. The Cell thus promotes Critical thinking, abstract reasoning, problem solving abilities, organizational or leadership qualities so that students can better understand the basic requirements of higher studies and professions. Motivation is also required to help students break free of all sorts of fear and uncertainties that they feel and for most of the cases stay indifferent to the myriads of possibilities that different types of short-term training or internships may render. The Cell thus has the mission of making students equipped and to make them think on the issue that Higher education in a particular field of study may not only mean that we need to follow a curriculum provided based strictly on theoretical knowledge. A student may also have the courage of pursuing any vocational training which would enhance skill required for industries. The Cell arranges on-campus interviews and also provides all sorts of assistance to students to face off campus interviews The Cell even suggests changes in the form of up gradation of the curriculum to the affiliating University to materialize the mission of building that bridge between pure academics and Industry requirement. The cell thus plays the role of a moral guide and tries to sustain that conviction in students by way of which they would not find any field of study less lucrative and feel the peer pressure which might erode their will power.
