Hello divyansh, typically placement depends on both college and you skills. If you do not have the proper skillset that the company is demanding then the college would not aid you in getting that job. But if you have ample skillset then you wouln't be dependent on the college for the placements. You can go for off campus placement drives and more oppourtinities if you have proper knowledge.

Hey Divyansh

Well that's a general worry of all the aspirants. But we are here to help you with it. Placements are done by various companies, right. Some colleges have company A coming for recruitments, while other colleges may or may not have the same company coming for recruitments. Even if the colleges are well known for their academics, there are students who don't even get placed. While, we hear stories about those as well who got their degree from a lesser known college, but now works in a top notch firm. So the most important factor for placements is your skills and your efficiency. The company mostly considers how well have you done during your college, and how much you can do further.

Well, placement depends on college, or the tag,  this statement is also somewhat true. Good colleges provide you an exposure to a beautiful environment. Also, things like alumni network matters a lot. You see, companies blindly come to esteemed colleges, just because they are that sure that the results will be great there. And their thinking is true as well, because to get into a top ranked college, you need to put in a lot of efforts, plus the brain for that particular field is also required. Only those who have the perfect blend of hard work and intelligence can excel( as in say the top rankers), and they thus get their desired college. Later on, some of these maintain their level of intelligence, while some go around focusing on other co curricular activities. In fact, their are some who manage both perfectly. So companies already know who they are going to approach.

I hope I made my point pretty clear. You focus on your skills first, and side by side prepare for getting a good college( if you are about to). The goal of getting a good college can be a good one to kick-start your preparation, later on destiny will lead you throughout.

Keep working hard and smart as well. All the best!!

Hi Divyansh,

I would say that it is a 30:70 ratio with college comprising 30% and skill set 70%. Yes, corporations are interested in students from well-reputed colleges but the skill set is something far more important. It does not only constitute of skill in the subject but also extra-curricular skills and communication skills. A few years ago, colleges were regarded the most important and decisive factor in placements but now the situation is not the same. A student from any college can become a CEO of an MnC just because of his skills and capabilities. Companies look for employees who can shape the future of their company and only having a great college background is not enough. But, certainly, a topmost college student is already ahead of many other potential candidates because of the trust of the companies in these colleges. Lack of a top college should not stop you from pursuing your dreams. Best of Luck.

Hey,

it can be said that placements depends upon both the factors. The number of companies and the kind of companies that visit the campus for recruitment depends upon the college. But the final recruitment is done only if the student is well skilled and matches the eligiblity.
