Delhi University will host the second edition of its AVASAR 2026 placement drive on October 7, with more than 4,000 students already signed up. The event, organised by the Central Placement Cell under the Dean of Students' Welfare, will run from 9 am to 5 pm in the Multipurpose Hall, Gate No 2, G C Narang Marg, North Campus. Formerly called the “Job Mela”, AVASAR aims to link students with employers and offer both full‑time jobs and internships across a range of sectors. The drive is open to every Delhi University student. More than 85 companies and organisations are slated to attend. Confirmed participants include SPRIX Japan, Teach for India, Kotak Life, PPG Foundation, Influngio, Surasa, Dear Sir E‑Learning, Cambridge School, Bharti Bhawan, Unthinkable Solutions, Muthoot Finance, Verdicto, Connect Jobs, LSSSDC, Intellexia Tech and Hazelnut Cyborg Infra Solutions, among others.
