"I would request the dean of students' welfare to strengthen this platform. It should be a perennial activity. Whenever a company wants to come to Delhi University at any time of the year, they should be allowed. We should work very hard towards this," Singh said.

"From early childhood, we should teach collaboration to children. Please work on it," he told professors. The first day of the event saw 650 students facilitated in offline interviews and 1,200 students in online interviews. Thirteen companies attended the offline mode while 10 participated in the online mode.
