Return to: College NewsSearchMyCampus Enables Student Placements across IndiaStudents from colleges across India can rest easy knowing that their placement needs will be taken care of by SearchMyCampus. The campus based classifieds portal has widened its focus to serve the needs of universities from all over the country. “Until now, Delhi University and other universities in the Delhi-NCR had been the primary focus of our marketing activities. However, we have realized the need for similar services in campuses across the country, and are gradually expanding our reach with the help of campus representatives and other forms of promotion” says Peyush Bansal, the founder of the website. While the level of demand for housing and coaching has varied from university to university, jobs classifieds have been popular with students from every college in India. Apart from Delhi and Amity University, the concept has already become popular in IIM Lucknow, Punjab University, Mumbai University, Osmania University, Anna University and Bangalore University among others. Several new universities have been added to the website in the past month based on demand from users. Some like Viswesvarya Technical University, Jawaharlal Nehru Technical University, Lovely Professional University, and Dr MGR University have become popular with students within weeks of being listing on the website. The ultimate objective of SearchMyCampus job classifieds is to enable students to connect with employers on a common platform with minimum interference from external parties. Students benefit from access to hundreds of employers interested in recruiting from their university. Employers benefit from targeted advertising to students from universities that offer courses relevant to their job openings. An employer looking for software engineers can view resumes exclusively from IIT, while an employer looking for management executives can view resumes from Amity Business School to make the recruitment process more efficient. “We hope that there will be active participation from both students and employers in each campus portal so that our objective is met” says Bansal.
