It has been a primary goal of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences to address the needs of the current trends of employability in the world of work. The faculty hence carried out an initial discussion with the HCL Technologies on the 24th February 2022 at the Faculty Board Room to discuss prospective opportunities of collaboration that would benefit the faculty undergraduates who seek internships in the corporate world.
