To ensure a seamless transition from academic life to the professional world, Karve Institute of Social Service (KISS) has established a dedicated Job Placement Cell (JPC) to support its students in securing employment that aligns with their career goals.

Every year, the JPC organizes a Campus Recruitment Drive held from December to February, providing graduating students with the opportunity to make informed employment decisions. Representatives from government, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and private sectors, both local and international, are invited to participate. This comprehensive approach exposes students to a diverse range of social service agencies and the vast career options available upon graduation.

Through successful campus recruitments, our students have secured placements with NGOs, government, semi-government, and corporate organizations across India, England, and the United States. Organizations interested in participating in our Campus Recruitment Drive are encouraged to contact the Job Placement Officer. It’s important to note that there is no registration fee, and recruitment will be conducted entirely online.

The JPC extends its services beyond graduating students by assisting alumni in their job search. Throughout the year, the JPC actively mails job vacancies to its alumni network. We invite organizations with job openings to contact the Job Placement Officer. This vacancy information will then be disseminated to all alumni members and individuals visiting the JPC for job search assistance.
