By Team Career Today

What is crucial while looking for graduation courses- placement or education?

Placements have become an important factor while choosing a college for undergraduate- level education. It is more so in case of professional programmes, as starting early in career helps in better growth prospects in any field.

However, the choice between placements and good quality education varies from student-to student as good number of students look for post-graduate studies prior to going for a full- time job. A good institute offering good quality education will always prepare students in such a manner that they get employment easily. So, placements are not an issue when it comes to a good college.

During admission session choosing a good course and college is a serious affair as students and parents get confused. A lot depends on this decision therefore the student has to make it clear in his or her mind whether he/ she wants to go for a job after graduation or would go for further studies.

A student prior to applying for any particular college has the option of finding the alumni and where they are working. It is also not difficult to find how many graduates are in a particular field, how quickly they got the job, it helps a candidate in knowing the reputation of the college. Some of the colleges even publish data about the percentage of students receiving a job after within six months or a year of graduation. Some of the colleges in India now have placement cells in place to help graduates seek employment.
