Job Mela: All India Food Professional Calibration Exam

Every year many students get degrees in food science and technologists from various institutes across India. These professionals are trained under different course curriculum, different facilities and evaluated under different marking patterns. Their capabilities, theoretical skills and reasoning competencies are not reflected in their marks sheet. Recognizing that food science and technology professionals have a variety of educational and professional backgrounds, to calibrate all passing out technologists and young professionals (0-3 yrs. exp) in same scale, we propose to have All India Food Professional Calibration Exam which will evaluate food professionals on multiple dimensions.
