Mangaluru refinery, port and banking roots
The MRPL refinery, New Mangalore Port and the petrochemical and fertiliser plants around them employ process and mechanical staff, while the region’s old banking tradition keeps accounting and finance roles well supplied. NITK Surathkal and several colleges feed an engineering talent pool, and a growing IT cluster adds software roles.
Contractors and bank staff rarely have free weekdays, which is why self-scheduled online sessions work well.
