With all the news about layoffs in the tech industry, I’m worried about how much it impacts campus placements. Do companies reduce hiring, delay offers, or change roles because of this? How should students prepare when the market is unstable?

From what I’ve seen, layoffs mostly affect planning, not placements completely.
Companies adjust hiring numbers, postpone joining dates, or become more selective during uncertain phases. Campuses that depend heavily on a few product companies tend to feel the impact more. That said, freshers are still hired because they are relatively cheaper and can be trained over time.
Another important point is that the impact is not the same everywhere. Tier-1 and Tier-2 colleges usually see fewer disruptions, while smaller or lesser-known campuses may experience reduced drives or delays. This is why relying only on campus placements can be risky, and keeping off-campus options open is always a safer approach.
Overall, layoffs slow things down but rarely shut campus placements completely.
