Placement Programmes

            Placement activity is an integral part of the Department fulfilling the manpower requirement for English Teachers by several institutions. The Department of English and Foreign Languages and the Placement Cell of Alagappa University have been jointly organizing placement programmes since the inception of the Department. Students are employed in Engineering, Arts & Science, Polytechnic Colleges and Matriculation Schools fulfilling the need for specialists in ELT.

Placement Programme (2009-2010)

For the first time placement initiative for language students was undertaken by Alagappa University under the aegis of its Placement Cell as per the guidelines of the then Vice-Chancellor Prof. P. Ramasamy. The Department of English and Foreign languages, Alagappa University organized a Placement Programme for the appointment of faculty members in English on 25^th March 2010 at the Department of English in the University Campus. Perhaps this is first of its kind in the State as generally placement activity is confined to Management and Technology Programmes only.

Twenty three institutions including Arts & Science Colleges, Polytechnic & Engineering Colleges, Teacher Education Institutions and Matriculation Schools from Sivanganga, Trichy, Pudukkottai and Thanjavur Districts turned up to pick up faculty members required for their institutions. The large scale paucity in the availability of quality teachers of English has lead to this kind of efforts by educational institutions visiting universities for picking up qualified language faculty from the outgoing batch of PG students/M.Phil/Ph.D scholars.

Placement Programme (2010-2011)

     The Department of English and Foreign Languages and placement cell of Alagappa University jointly organized a placement programme on 29^th April, 2011 in the university campus. 12 Arts and Science and Engineering colleges and Matriculation Schools from Sivaganga, Trichy, Pudukottai and Thanjavur Districts turned out to pick faculty members for their institutions. Out of 22 students from the Department of English & Foreign Languages participated in the placement programme, 20 students got selected.
