JUCSU job fair showcases 700 opportunities

Jahangirnagar University (JU) is hosting its first large-scale “JUCSU Job Fair and Career Summit 2026.”

Organised by the Jahangirnagar University Central Students’ Union (JUCSU), the job fair has attracted more than 25 corporate organisations.

According to the organisers, more than 700 job opportunities are available at these companies.

The day-long event began at 10am on Friday at the central field adjacent to the university’s Teacher-Student Centre. A large number of students were present from the morning.

Job seekers were visiting various company booths to learn about employment opportunities and speaking directly with company representatives. Many students were also submitting their CVs to different organisations.

One student participating in the job fair said, “This job fair organised by JUCSU has created considerable enthusiasm among general students. We are visiting different booths and learning about job opportunities. We welcome JUCSU for organising such an event for students.”

The student added, “JUCSU has completed an important initiative through this job fair. Similar activities need to continue so that the remaining commitments can also be fulfilled. As general students, we want the next JUCSU to continue organising such initiatives for students’ welfare.”

While visiting the job fair and speaking to journalists, JUCSU General Secretary (GS) Mazharul Islam said they were making every effort to fulfill the promises they had made to students before the end of JUCSU’s term.

He said, “The Job Fair and Career Summit is being held today from 10am to 6pm. We have organised this event for university students with the participation of more than 25 corporate organisations and more than 700 job opportunities.”

Mazharul Islam said students had been participating spontaneously since the morning. They were talking with representatives of different organisations, learning about employment opportunities, and gaining insights into their careers.

The participating companies will conduct their recruitment processes according to the qualifications and prescribed criteria of the applicants.

Speaking about JUCSU’s activities over the past year, he said, “The JUCSU election was held on 11 September last year. Throughout the year, we tried to dedicate ourselves to the welfare of students. Despite various obstacles and limitations, every secretary of JUCSU worked to the best of their ability.”

He said they had worked toward ensuring a student-friendly environment, resolving academic problems and discrimination, and creating a safe and comfortable campus for students.

Referring to the activities of previous student unions, the GS said, “In the activities of many previous student unions, there have sometimes been allegations of power abuse, tender manipulation, trading in appointments, and illegal financial gain. But from the very beginning, we have tried to ensure a good environment at the university and a safe and comfortable campus for students.”

Leaving the assessment of their activities to the students, he said, “We had many limitations, and there will also be criticism. However, the students themselves will judge how successful our efforts and contributions have been.”

Mentioning that the end of JUCSU’s term is approaching, Mazharul Islam said, “We have only seven to eight days left. Until the very last moment, we are making our best efforts to fulfill as many of the commitments we made to students as possible.”

Alongside the day-long job fair, a “Road to Corporate: Career Session” was held at the university’s Senate Building at 7pm on Friday.

Three speakers provided students with guidance on corporate careers, professional development, practical workplace experiences, and career growth.

According to the organisers, the event is not merely a job fair; rather, it is an integrated platform combining recruitment, networking, career learning, and industry exposure for students and young graduates.

Through the initiative, students will have the opportunity to establish direct connections with organisations from various sectors, creating new possibilities for future employment.
