Jamia Millia Islamia has concluded its placement session for the MA Social Work and MA Human Resource Management 2024-26 batch at the Department of Social Work, with multiple social-sector and corporate recruiters on campus.
Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) has concluded the placement session for the 2024-26 batch of its Master of Arts (MA) in Social Work and Master of Arts in Human Resource Management (HRM) programmes. The announcement was made by the central university through its official communication channels on June 17, 2026. The placement drive was coordinated by the Department of Social Work in collaboration with the university's central Training and Placement office.
The Department of Social Work at JMI is among the oldest of its kind in India. It runs the MA Social Work and MA Human Resource Management programmes as two-year postgraduate courses. Both programmes carry a strong fieldwork component alongside classroom learning.

About the Department of Social Work at JMI
The Department of Social Work was established at JMI in 1967. It was among the first institutions in India to offer a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) programme. The Master of Arts in Social Work was introduced at the department in 1976. The MA Human Resource Management programme runs as a separate two-year postgraduate course at the same department.
The course design emphasises practical exposure through structured fieldwork. Students work with non-government organisations, government social welfare bodies, and business organisations as part of their training. This fieldwork base feeds directly into the kind of roles students take up during placements.
Sectors and Recruiter Profile
The placement drive at the Department of Social Work draws employers from a wide spread of sectors. Past recruitment cycles at JMI have seen organisations from the development sector, corporate HR, and CSR functions visit the campus. The institution lists previous recruiters across categories such as social enterprises, foundations, and large business houses.
- Development sector and non-profit organisations
- Corporate human resource and talent functions
- Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) teams
- Government social welfare and rural development agencies
- Research and policy think tanks
Why JMI's Social Work Programme Stands Out
JMI is a centrally funded university located in New Delhi. The Department of Social Work runs MA, MPhil, and PhD programmes alongside the BSW. The MA Social Work programme includes around 1,440 hours of fieldwork over two years. The MA HRM programme includes around 1,200 hours of fieldwork during the same period.
This fieldwork model places students with host organisations for several weeks each academic year. It is one of the reasons employers from both the social and corporate sectors return to the department each placement cycle.
