Apart from coding and software development, the enthusiasm for Finance, Consultancy, Operations, Data Science, Marketing, UX/UI Design, Product Management and Design profiles has increased significantly, considering the flourishing campus groups in these fields. But as the placement season approaches, the less number of companies in the desired sector and proper profiles and/or CTC’s lead to a major disappointment (See the Profile-Wise Companies Distribution Graph and Profile-Wise Students Placed Graph). -On-campus placements definitely have an edge in comparison to off-campus placements due to a straightforward, transparent and simplified process. The tasks of emailing and approaching the company are done by the TPO, and most of the major firms recruit through campus placements. But students interested in other profiles, due to lack of offers, choose to dive into the chaotic rigmarole of off-campus placements by a variety of methods, approaching their alumni networks or through LinkedIn, among other methods. In these matters, the TPO needs to take concrete steps to accommodate the needs of the students.

Unquestionably the placements hold much importance in a student’s life, but it is vital to keep in mind that they are not the only metric for a ‘successful college life’. A lot many things can go not so well on the interview day, and it is easy to fumble up under an immense rush and peer pressure or standing up for your own expectations. The starting CTCs may not represent all your skills you have developed in this prestigious institution. -There are many things the junta needs to know about the workings of the TPO, like the workings of the current system and the problems students face during placements and internships.
