Panipat, July 12
NC College of Engineering, a premier private engineering college situated at Israna, about 21 km from here, has achieved a major breakthrough in its placement activities this year.

Giving details to mediapersons, Dr Surendra Gupta, Principal, said two companies, namely M/s Super Auto India Limited and M/s Pooja Forge Limited, both based at Faridabad, conducted written test and interviews for 63 mechanical and production engineering students. They shortlisted 20 students for recruitment as “graduate engineer trainee.”

Earlier, M/s Liberty Enterprises, Gharaunda (Karnal), and M/s Hindustan Syringes Limited, Faridabad, had offered employment to four students.

Similarly, M/s Clutch Auto Limited and M/s Escorts Limited, Faridabad, and the KMG Group of Companies, New Delhi, will conduct campus interviews soon.

Dr Gupta said proper stress needed to be given to the placement cell so as to attain leadership in this world of cut-throat competition. He said the college was providing the latest infrastructure in the field of computers and IT, electronics and mechanical engineering.

Mr Vijay Gupta, Chairman of the college, informed that top executives from various multinational companies like Sony, LG and HLL were expected to visit the college for campus placement later this month. The college had also made elaborate arrangements for the government sector to recruit its students through campus interviews. One of the selected students, Himanshu Mathur, had already joined the IMA, Dehra Dun, on July 7 under the University Entry Scheme.

Students’ suicide cases: HC rules in favour of media

New Delhi, July 12
The Delhi High Court today refused to restrain media from giving out information relating to suicides committed by some students after the declaration of Board Examination results.

A division bench, comprising Chief Justice S. B. Sinha and Justice A. K. Sikri, said this would infringe the Fundamental Right of the press and dismissed a petition seeking such a relief.

The petition, filed by Society for Securing Justice through its president Vijay Jindal, besides seeking restraint on the media from publishing or broadcasting suicide cases of school students, also sought the ban on flashing of the Class X and XII results on the Internet in the dead of the night.

Making public suicide cases and flashing results at night on the Internet contributed to such deaths, it was alleged in the petition. As many as 18 children had committed suicide after the Class X and XII results had been announced this year.

Specially-trained counsellors should be at hand when the results were given out at the schools, the petitioner said through its counsel K. L. Das.

Saying that it was a sociological and psychological problem, the court observed, “We hope and trust that the Human Resource and Development Ministry would start counselling programmes at schools forthwith.”
