The RCC expresses its heartfelt gratitude to all the above-mentioned alumni, who agreed to move around tasks on their busy schedules and assisted us with the mock interviews. They shared their irreplaceable experience with their own firms and other workplaces which helped the students understand the perspective of recruiters. The RCC would also like to thank the Faculty Advisors – Dr. Arjyalopa Mishra and Mr. Mayank Tiwari for their immense support through the week.
