Colleges of Jivan Jyot Trust, Amroli started a two-day 'Jobfair' from Saturday for which 4,500 students from all over south Gujarat have registered. At least 40 companies are expected to hire students and also working professionals during the 'Jobfair'.

The trust has been organizing placement fair for the past four years. "Large number of students have benefited from the fair," said Anuj Shah, secretary of JJT.

"The fair has a unique feature. A candidate can get more than one opportunity to appear in an interview with the same company. Even if he has been rejected, the student can reappear. There are options of campus placement for engineering and management graduates but no such system exist for graduates of arts, commerce and science. We are organizing the fair to give opportunity to the students from these streams," said K N Chavda, principal of J Z Shah Arts and H P Desai Commerce College.

"Last year a total of 9,000 youth participated in the 'Jobfair' and 900 got jobs," said Ashwin Patel, secretary of JJT.
