a significant role in assisting students or fresher how should they proceed

Career profiling and advice will
help you select a job that match your interests and skills as well as is
enjoyable for you.
Mentioned below are a few handful essentials, you need to keep in mind
while you are in hunt for better job prospects:
For Fresher
- Start by making the list of top companies who
hire people with your kind of hard skill sets (visit their career site on weekly
basis. For instance, Wipro Careers and TCS
Careers, etc.)

a bit difficult for an average person to get their dream job right after
college. However, make sure you at least start your career from that organization
that can assist you in your overall development.

year of experience (until unless you are getting once in a lifetime
opportunity). As this will impact your resume and might give a bad impression
to prospective employers.

Interview challenges, hiring trends in India, ongoing salary slabs.

smartly in your CV/Resume
