Placement is the buzzword on the campus and off the campus. Read on for some professional tips to walk the tightrope to land a good job…
From high school to job, the one popular term which becomes a part of a student’s life and decisions is Placement. It has always been a buzz word, and most of the time, anyone who undergoes college education tends to go through this tradition.

Almost every institute tries to rope in companies and train their students to clear the placements. Although the number of colleges in India are sufficient enough to generate graduates for the entire country, the number of graduates getting a job is hardly 10 percent of the total. Ironically, the demand for qualified professionals has also never gone down either. So, the question is, what happens to the rest 90 percent?

Regardless of the category, there are a few basic guidelines which will help approach placements in the right way.
