I am also mentally prepared even though it sounds scary,” says Neha K, a B Sc graduate from The International Institute of Fashion.<br /><br />Then there is also the paranoia of getting jobs. While many students get <br />placed during the campus interview sessions, some feel that the jobs they get during these placements do not suit their profile and qualification. <br /><br />Hence they are not able to take them up and have to go through the agony of applying <br />on their own. <br /><br />“Many companies had come to our college for campus selections but most of them were call centres.
