The Placement Cell,
PGDAV College
organised the fifth edition of its annual internship fair, Converge, earlier this month. Given the lack of campus exposure amidst the pandemic, the
internship fair
was conducted over a unique virtual
platform
, in which the entire setup was mapped in 3D, to make the experience as close to an offline event as possible.
The platform featured designated areas that enhanced the overall user experience, including an
auditorium
for the inauguration ceremony, information desk for technical support, and
interview halls
with dedicated booths for each
recruiter
.
The main highlight was the 'Reserve a Chat’ feature, through which participants could book a time slot for an interview at their convenience and interact live with the HRs.
The virtual platform featured an information desk for technical support
Through this initiative, the placement team of PGDAV ensured that students were able to secure their dream internship from the comfort and safety of their home.
The event saw participation from 78 companies, offering more than 40 profiles covering all domains, and recorded a massive footfall with 2500+ registrations. Around 200 students have already been shortlisted through this internship fair.
The lobby designed for the virtual platform
The entire event was managed by The Placement Cell of PGDAV College. Right from choosing the platforms and inviting recruiters to designing graphics for the platform and promoting the event, everything was managed by the students, with full support from the faculty.
All the available interview slots on the platform were booked within a short span of the inauguration. The recruiters as well as participating students were in awe of the platform and the team received positive reviews from all regarding the innovative approach to host a live event despite the restriction due to the social distancing norms.
