🎓 Introduction

Not every student gets placed through campus drives — and that’s okay.

In 2025, more than 60% of freshers in India find their first job off-campus through online platforms, networking, and internships.

This blog is a practical, no-fluff guide to help you understand how off-campus placement works, and how you can land a job within 30 to 60 days after graduation.

🧭 What Is Off-Campus Placement?

It means applying to companies on your own, outside of college placement cells. This includes:

Online job portals

LinkedIn or direct company websites

Walk-in drives or job fairs

Internships converting into jobs

Startup or referral-based hiring
