| Abstract | Students’ transitions from academic life to professional careers are significantly influenced by campus
placements. While individual student effort remains important, institutional support mechanisms
significantly influence placement readiness and outcomes. This study evaluates the multifaceted role of
institutional support—ranging from career counseling, skill development workshops, mock interviews,
mentorship programs, to internship facilitation in preparing students for campus placements. Using a
mixed-methods approach, data was collected through surveys, interviews, and placement records across
multiple institutions to assess the effectiveness and perception of these support systems. The findings
reveal that structured institutional involvement directly correlates with increased student confidence,
improved interview performance, and higher placement rates. Moreover, institutions that integrate
continuous skill development and industry engagement into their curriculum tend to produce more
placement-ready graduates. The study underscores the necessity for educational institutions to adopt a
holistic support framework that aligns with industry expectations and evolving job market trends.
Recommendations are offered for enhancing institutional strategies to maximize placement success and
student career readiness.
