How's day one , does campus looks different ? Omg , I can't comphrehend the fact that i passed out 😭😭.

Enjoy your campus days guys ❤️.

Fellow engineers, how hard was it to land a job after not getting placed in college?

I'm a 2026 passout from a government college in kerala, and I graduated in EEE. I had a decent skill set in both my core and it field and tried applying both in my core field and in IT, but unfortunately, I couldn't secure a placement in either.

I did make it to the HR round of an IT company at Infopark, but I got rejected there. Now that college is over, I've been actively applying for jobs. So far, I've applied to around 20–30 positions, but I haven't even made it past the resume screening stage.

Honestly, I'm at peak burnout right now. Most of my friends have either joined coaching for competitive exams or enrolled in additional skill development courses, but I'm not really interested in either of those paths.

So I wanted to ask people who were in a similar situation: how hard was it for you to land your first job after graduating without campus placement? How long did it take, and what helped you finally break through?
