In the “Meet the Alumni” session the IBA students got the opportunity to interact with the Robi officials who graduated from IBA. Robi officials discussed in detail their learning from their respective career with Robi. With a very keen participation from the students the session became very lively.
In order to familiarize the final year students of BBA and MBA with the recruitment assessment center; a specially tailored capacity building session was organized.

This session was specifically targeted for the final year student of BBA and MBA to prepare them for the job placement on completion of their academic courses.
Speaking on the occasion Professor Iqbal Ahmad, Director, IBA, University of Dhaka said that “Fear of the unknown is the main psychological barrier that a fresh graduate deals with when he/she undergoes a recruitment process. We are delighted that Robi has come forward to demystify the recruitment process by organizing the Robi career carnival in our campus.
