What students should do if they don't get placed in campus recruitments?

That's all I have to say to anybody, I mean when we were studying there were nothing such as campus recruitments, and during our time we visited each company and approached many consultants before getting that first job, and from then on its an easier route compared to the beginning, and believe me hardwork pays, and many of the experienced guys will tell you the same thing, its ok if one is lacking in the knowledge part but attitude of yours is what gets you the best out in life, so relax keep your chin high and go for that interview wherever it is, it also has to do with the impatience that the youth show these days, just because they didn't get placed in campus placements they think everything is over for them, but that's not the case look at the brighter side of it, you were lucky that you didn't get placed that time, now you can go search of the dream job that you really want to do, so be positive, keep trying and be patient, you'll see that things will eventually fall in place.

I know this might sound weird, but I would suggest students.. atleast some of them who CAN and WANT TO .. to go ahead, take this as a chance Life provided you with, and START ON YOUR OWN.

Yeah.. right now, there are so many things one can do without needing any investment. See what interests you and go ahead and start earning money for yourself... till you find someone who can employ you.

If possible, for a team, as, as a team, you can achieve more than what you can do alone. And being part of a team give you a sense of belonging... and who knows... you can really make it big and might be in a position to provide employment for others.

We need more people who can create jobs. There are millions out there who are looking for some. So, if you can provide a job for yourself... you have a great start for your career...

Just my personal thoughts...

I'll make it short and simple !! revise your basics and search for some problems in this world 

I would say to the engineering grads , there are lots of great Open  source projects in almost every sphere of technology .For instance for image processing go for OpenCV ,multi-processing /parallel computing Hadoop computing model , OPenMP etc ... Learn  them , contribute , fix some bugs and then you are up and running for the company of your choice .PS do not go for silly MBA's degree's 

For others , honestly there is so much happening all around and i believe the web is the best platform to learn and showcase .For media persons , get in touch with blogs , start writing articles ,increase and influence your audience etc.. and this perhaps applies to all .

Search for your true ambition in life and give it wings !

If the students are not able to get placed in campus recruitment. I would say is

1.Identifying thier mistakes

2.Assessing themselves say for eg: Is this area sounds interesting to me? if not what are the other areas?

3.Take faculties help for good recommendation letter

4. Apply for an internship directly into a company's website

5. Go to companies...explain wht can u bring up with the fresh knowledge that u have gained from university

There r so many avenues like consiltants, noukri.com etc, advertisement in papers, referrals.

In todays recession period profits have come down as such companies look for immediate return on the investments by them. As such candidates should look at aquiring experience. One or two years experience can help people in good jobsand reasonably good compensation.

OVER & ABOVE TRYING , ONE SHOULD REVEIW & REVAMP ALL THE CONTACTS MADE  TILL DATE FOR ACHEIVING THE DESIRED RESULT = GOAL !

 I am a final engineer electrical engineer.many of my friends get recruited in campus interview but i did not..but i'm not demoralized..just my thinking.

and last but not the least may join Entrepreneurship programs offered by Govt. of India and even some of renowned varsities and may start on their own. 

It would be always be good to get placed through campus itself because through that only he will be able to get right start in his career.Usually company gives more weight to person who get placed through campus when he get second time god  opportunity .Although it has been been observed that which is true also that there are many such candidate are their which does not get opportunity to get placed through campus and get job on their own and keep try to get growth  in their life ,but as told aforesaid campus help candidate to project him self to the  world easily in other world companies recognize these candidate soon.But in case if any person does not get this opportunity or if  does not get company or position on his interest ,in this case he should keep patient and try hard to get opportunity on their own but he must start doing jod vis-a-vis on his interested company.      

Try to grab every opportunity that is presented to you. Don't be overly selective about Role, Nature of Work, Pay (Salary) etc., The more number of interviews you attend chances are that you will crack one soon. Its very important to sell your self to the interviewer. Because the interviewer does't know you personally, he will not be in a position to assess you correctly unless you tell him about your strengths, achievements etc., Show him that you are passionate about what you want to achieve. Sense of humor, possitive attitude is very important. One last thing never plead or request interviewer.
