Frequently asked questions

What are the career advisory and placement services Online Manipal is offering?

Online Manipal offers career advisory and counselling services as well as job search assistance as students progress in their respective online degree programs. Each semester focuses on preparing students for the job market through industry readiness sessions and various skill development programs. Sessions on resume writing, interview preparation, LinkedIn profile makeovers, and classes on interpersonal communication, business etiquette, etc. further help strengthen their professional persona and hone the skills they need to be successful at work.

Who is eligible for the career advisory and placement assistance services?

To be eligible for career advisory and placement services, students must be in the final semester of their respective programs. They must not have any backlogs in the previous semesters and should not have taken a gap between semesters.

How can I get more information on placement assistance?

Students can contact the help center for information related to placement assistance.

Will I be intimated about the placement schedule and the process involved?

Yes. Information related to placement process and schedule will be conveyed to learners through a webinar at the beginning of the final semester. Subsequently, the recording of the webinar will be made available on the LMS.

Are learners provided with internship opportunities and campus placements?

Except MAJMC program, all other programs offered by MUJ / MAHE do not have internship as a mandatory requirement for program completion.

However, our placement cell works with organizations and leading career opportunity providers to ensure that students get access to internships that ultimately lead to job offers as many companies offer “intern to hire” positions. However, the final selection of the candidate will depend on the hiring organization in line with their recruitment policies, requirement, and candidature fit.

Is placement assistance provided for learners with various levels of experience?

Yes. After receiving requirements for beginners, intermediate, managerial, and leadership roles, we help learners by sharing relevant profiles with recruiters. Learners are advised to keep their LinkedIn profiles updated and remain active on LinkedIn and other job portals.

How long will I get placement support from Online Manipal?

Placement support begins from the start of the final semester. It continues even upon completion of program, for the next six months. In total, placement support is available for 1 year.

Do you assure a minimum number of interview chances?

We share interested students’ profiles with prospective recruiters, and it is up to the companies to shortlist and invite candidates for the subsequent interview processes. There is no cap on how many interviews one can attend. Learners may attend as many interviews as possible, until they get placed.

How many job offers can a student accept? Can students appear for multiple interviews within a month?

We maintain a ‘one student – one job offer’ policy. Students can appear for multiple interviews until they receive an offer. However, in exceptional cases, our team will review and take a call on whether a learner can re-participate in the placement process even after he/ she has accepted an offer.

Do you offer resume writing and interviewing tips?

Yes, we organize sessions with professional development and HR experts who help students create impactful resumes and online profiles, and give tips on effective presentation and interview skills. We ensure that students receive the support they need to become more viable in the job market.

Will the learners be provided with a list of frequently asked interview questions?

Yes. Learners will receive a list of frequently asked interview questions and guidelines on how to answer them. This will be made available before the placement season begins and learners participating in placements may utilize it for their practice.

Do learners get help for developing their soft skills?

Absolutely! Apart from the industry-relevant curricula that is designed for students to develop domain-specific skills, we offer skill development programs too. These programs focus on the softer aspects like interpersonal communication, business etiquette, confidence building, cultural fluency, etc. that will help students become well-rounded personalities as they embark on their professional journeys.

Do you organize job fairs? If yes, when?

Job fairs are generally arranged with specific number of companies, all at a time. This results in students missing out on a lot of opportunities because of limitation of time. Instead, our placement cell organizes multiple placement drives every month and thus our learners benefit from active job opportunities round the year.

Do students have to pay for the virtual placement drives?

No, students enrolled in online degree programs being offered on www.onlinemanipal.com do not have to pay to participate in the virtual placement drives or to apply to listed jobs. Our career support and placement assistance services are offered free of cost.

This depends on the position and nature of work and is at the discretion of the recruiting company.

Is there any lock-in period / minimum period for which a student has to work with a company after getting placed?

This depends on the position and nature of work and is at the discretion of the recruiting company.

Will I get a job with work from home option or do I need to go to the office for work?

This depends on the position and nature of work and is at the discretion of the recruiting company.

Do you assure placements?

No, we do not give placement assurance. However, all eligible students will receive placement assistance.

Will attending the placement training sessions add to my attendance requirement for the program?

As per the University Grants Commission (UGC) regulations, a student needs to complete 75% of the learning requirement to be eligible to appear for exams of an online degree program that includes reading through the e-content, completing assignments and assessments, and attending classes on the student portal. Career advisory and skill development programs are additional benefits provided to students enrolled in online degree programs being offered on www.onlinemanipal.com and do not contribute towards the attendance requirement.
