The placement cell of Jamia Millia Islamia University has set for itself the target of 100% employability on campus. To achieve this, says the press statement released by the university, they have planned a number of initiatives that they will put into force of the next five years.

Most of the initiatives are geared toward encouraging greater interaction between the university and industry. For starters, they will create a platform on which industry professionals and students can interact. The 'Web Management System' will not only serve as a meeting place but also make the 'training and placement process go online. A system for assessment will be developed with the assistance of professionals in the industries. It will be a complete 'Online Assessment System along with a Question Based Test.' Backing all this up will be an 'Industry-Institute Interaction Cell.'

Along with these measures, the university is also considering making more opportunities available to students within the campus itself. An 'Innovation and Incubation Centre' is being planned along with a 'full-fledged Entrepreneurship Development Cell' in association with National Institute for Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development (NIESBUD) and Ministry of MSME (Medium, Small and Micro Enterprises), Government of India. They also plan to tie up with companies for minor and major projects.
