Car makers have started hiring from Gujarat's industrial training institutes (ITIs) for their factories across the country.
Maruti Suzuki India Ltd last year administered tests to 1,100 candidates at the Kubernagar ITI in northeast Ahmedabad. "Maruti Suzuki had recruited 40-45 candidates here for their Gurgaon plant. It has indicated it will test candidates again this month. Accordingly, we have prepared a list of around 1,000," said A J Pandey, placement coordinator for the Kubernagar ITI.
