Off campus placements

Currently I am in my second year from a Tier 3 college. On campus placements at my college for the 2024 batch is really worse. Few companies are hiring for sales roles etc. and most of them are putting tough eligibility criteria and hiring only few. To be very honest, I have no hopes from on campus placements. I am going for the off campus route. What should I do to get a decent intern in third year/fourth year and a decent job by the time of graduation? Talking about my progress, I am doing DSA, taking part in contests in Codechef, Codeforces, and Leetcode. Besides that I have started learning Machine Learning. Have done only the Math part and basics though still now. Been to 2 offline hackathons.

Currently in 3rd year of B.Tech Electrical engineering from tier-1 college. I didn't get any internship as only 2 companies came for interns that too took only 6 people( 1 - nvidia and 5 - Texas). I tried applying on LinkedIn and Indeed and cold mailing HRs but I am not getting any return mails from any HR. I have applied to the summer internship program of IITs but I think I don't have a chance as my CGPA is low compared to others(8.42/10). What do I do to get an intern?

I'm a final year student at a tier-1 engineering college. I am looking to break into product management and have been looking for internships and full time opportunities for the last 5 months. I've had no luck so far, and my campus placements are not up to the mark this year so no luck there as well. I've done all the essentials for preparing for this role, like preparing for interviews, participating in product teardowns, working on a portfolio etc. I initially planned to work for a few years and do an MBA in the US but I'm seriously contemplating going for a master's degree now (maybe MiM in EU or some MS in software applications in the US). Looking for advice on what should be my next steps. PS: I'm not looking to do an MBA in India. If I go for a master's degree, I want to do it abroad.

I’m a upcoming 4th year Integrated msc chemistry(5 year) student from NIT Warangal and I have an exit option after 4th year also, i.e with the bachelors degree and as of now I have decided to go with this. But the major concern for me is that my college won’t be allowing me for the campus placement. How and when should I start reaching out for off-campus Product/Analyst roles? I was thinking of reaching out to campus recruiters from companies that hire from my college and other colleges, Will that work?

My question, as a college student, which is a better thing to do? 1. Keep learning new tech stack and build different projects. Or 2. Try to contribute to some organization through open source and learn through contribution itself (assuming i have some basic knowledge) + increase my network of connections (if possible). My primary goal right now is getting decent on campus placement as of now but i have plans to try oss contribution in future even if i am unable to do rn. My 2nd year will end in a few days btw. Note that i can't do both simultaneously as my college is very hectic (tier 3) but it has some okayish placement.

Hello I'm 22F a 4th year student from a tier 3 college. I got placed on campus in a very small scale startup for 6.5 lpa but the internship period was of 9 months at 15k per month in blr. Now they have announced that they won't be giving PPO to us. My internship is ending in March 2024 before that I need to get into a new job. But all the openings are low paying i.e. 3 or 4lpa jobs and I'm in doubt with my DSA skills. I need someone who can mentor me on this path. I've worked on mostly Java, Springboot, Automation testing and C++. How should I prepare along with my internship in this 2 months?

Hello everyone, I am a Quant intern at a trading firm and Currently pursuing btech in Computer Science from one of the prestigious IIIT ,24 Batch. My 7th sem is going to start from next month. I am developing some algo's for market analysts and I think I am not learning any tech stack from this as these algo's are developed using some basic tool provided by the company. There are very less chances of PPO and even the timings are from 11am to 10pm. So due to these timings I don't get any time to prepare for other companies for oncampus placements. I am writing this post to ask should I leave the company and prepare for on campus placements or continue working here. As I can continue my intern during the sem coz there is no attandance criteria in my college.
