I keep hearing that off-campus hiring is much harder than on-campus. Is it really that difficult, or just different? Trying to understand what to expect.

Off-campus placement is usually tougher than on-campus, especially for freshers, but good preparation can reduce the gap.
In on-campus placements, companies already trust the college, the process is fixed, and competition is limited to your campus. In off-campus placements, you compete with candidates from many colleges, there’s no clear hiring flow, and responses can be slow or inconsistent.
That’s why preparation becomes more important for off-campus attempts. Platforms like PlacementPreparation.io help with structured practice for aptitude, coding, and company-specific patterns. For learning and upskilling, GUVI courses are useful to build strong fundamentals and hands-on skills. Referrals and networking through LinkedIn also play a key role.
Off-campus placements are harder, but they give more control over roles and companies you apply to. With the right preparation and consistent effort, cracking off-campus opportunities is very achievable.
