Hyderabad:Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) students at Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (JNTUH) are struggling with a lack of structured placement support, inadequate faculty and the absence of dedicated hostel facilities, raising concerns about their academic and career prospects.
Despite repeated appeals, key issues remain unresolved, affecting students’ ability to secure jobs and receive quality education.
One of the primary concerns is the absence of a dedicated placement officer and structured placement support. Students claim that without a proper placement office, it becomes difficult to coordinate recruitment activities and interact with potential employers.
“There is no structured placement assistance for our department. The lack of a placement office makes it challenging to connect with recruiters,” said student leader Kashinath Reddy.
The shortage of regular faculty has also been a pressing issue. Many students believe that the absence of permanent faculty members affects the quality of education and consistency in teaching. The reliance on temporary faculty members has led to gaps in learning, making it harder for students to build a strong academic foundation.
Accommodation is another major challenge. BBA students do not have a designated hostel, which has led to difficulties in securing proper lodging. Many students face logistical and financial struggles in finding suitable accommodation near the university.
Those from outside the city find it particularly hard to manage without a dedicated hostel facility, adding to their academic stress.
The students have now submitted a formal petition to JNTUH registrar Professor K. Venkateswara Rao, urging immediate action. They demanded the appointment of a placement officer, the establishment of a dedicated placement office, recruitment of permanent faculty, and the provision of a separate hostel for BBA students.
“The lack of proper infrastructure and support is affecting both our academic performance and future career opportunities. We urge the administration to address these concerns at the earliest,” said student leader Durga Prasad.
The petition was submitted under the leadership of the Students’ Protection Forum, who said that immediate intervention from the university would significantly improve the academic environment and employment prospects for BBA students.
