\nISLAMABAD:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The annual career fair aimed at undergraduate and graduate students of the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) was held at its H-12 campus.<\/span><\/p>\n

The event was a major affair with more than 40 organisations in attendance seeking to hire budding talent from one of the top universities in the country. The different companies at the fair included both public and private companies, and international organisations as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Multinational conglomerates and business insight providers such as S&P global, Insights Driven Research (IDR) were present at the fair to primarily recruit marketing and business graduates. Some policy groups, social organisations, educational initiatives like Teach for Pakistan and Taleemabad were also present.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the overwhelming majority of organisations present belonged to the telecommunication and tech sector seeking to engage with the university\u2019s engineering student body. These included the likes of Nayatel, Nayapay, all major network providers of the country and many others.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ground where the career fair was held was teeming with students throughout the day as undergraduate students approached various organisations to learn more about their prospects, look for summer internships and drop off their CVs. Meanwhile, graduate students and those with professional skills already in the bag sought job openings.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, most organisations at the event were specifically present to market their brands and offer programmes for young, inexperienced students who were about to graduate, such as internships, fast-track and management trainee programmes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe turnout was great. I was surprised to see some students coming back to our booth multiple times. They seemed very excited,\u201d said one representative of an organisation present at the fair.<\/span><\/p>\n
