As we all know, Change begins at the end of one’s comfort zone. This statement is very true and holds great value. Change always brings something fresh and unique, provided we are receptive to accepting it.
The world has changed drastically over the years, with new business models and ideas coming up. Competition is in the air and the time has come that instead of clinging to old ideas and thought processes, we should try something innovative.

What are Campus placements?
It is an initiative taken by universities, and institutions to provide jobs to students who are nearing the completion of their studies and are ready and fit to enter the employment world.
There have been 2 types of Campus Placements: -
1. On-Campus Placement Drive
On-campus placements, companies make a visit to the college to select the students who are nearing their graduation for work based on various criteria like Honesty, focus, subject knowledge, hard work, dedication, and technical capabilities. These institutes tie up with companies that wish to recruit students as interns or for fresher jobs.
2. Off-Campus Placement
Off-campus ones are open to all students who meet the criteria specified. In this type of placement, educational institutions are not involved. Students directly send their resumes and connect with the employer.
But with the onset of the pandemic and lockdowns, it really became difficult for educational institutes, to organize campus hiring and for recruiters to recruit. That’s how the Virtual Campus Hiring came into the picture. In these tough times, companies like ibentos were a blessing to the industry, and businesses and organizers understood this very well.
