Ans. Marks are not the only factor in getting placed. Recruiters also assess communication, confidence and basic knowledge. Average marks may not prevent a student from securing a job if the interview goes well. A strong resume and internship experience can help, while marks may be used during shortlisting. Final selection depends on the student’s interview performance.

Ans. Arts students can also secure placements, although they have fewer company choices than commerce and science students. Available positions are mainly in sales, content, HR and support. Speaking skills, confidence, internships and additional courses can improve their prospects. Placement chances for arts students remain low without active skill development.

Ans. The placement cell generally conducts resume workshops and sometimes arranges aptitude tests. However, this support is limited and may not be offered regularly to every student. Students also need to prepare independently because relying only on the placement cell is insufficient. Those who practise interviews and strengthen their skills tend to perform better in the recruitment process.

Ans. Participating in placements does not change a student’s higher education plans. Many students attend recruitment rounds to gain experience and practise interviews, and they may decline an offer after selection. Since placement activities require time and effort, students must balance them with their studies. Giving all their attention to placements may slightly affect exam preparation.

Ans. Off-campus applications provide access to more opportunities because many large companies do not visit the college. Campus placements offer fewer roles and seats. Students can improve their chances by trying both routes instead of depending only on college recruitment. Off-campus searches require more effort but may lead to better results.
