How does Online Manipal offer Placement Assistance? 

Earning your college degree means that just half the battle is won. The rest of it is achieved when you are in a position to apply these skills in a workplace. For learners like you, it would be best if this were available immediately once the programs are completed. And that is where placement assistance comes to the rescue.   

It is seldom the case that students prefer a university where placements are mandatory. It also applies to online students. At Online Manipal, we have an excellent placement assistance cell that helps students to bridge the gap between academic learning and professional opportunities.   

Read through this blog to understand its importance, how Online Manipal’s comprehensive cell works, along with testimonials and reviews.   

Why Placement Assistance Matters in Online Education 

Unlike the regular on-campus programs, online learning comes with its own set of challenges. Students may worry about networking opportunities, exposure to recruiters, or access to structured placement support. That’s why placement services are critical as they don’t just prepare learners academically but also ensure they step into the job market with confidence.  

Online Manipal has designed its placement ecosystem to support students at every step of their career journey, right from training and grooming to connecting them with top recruiters.  

Placement Process at Online Manipal 

At Online Manipal, we follow a structured and student-centric placement process designed to equip learners with the right skills, knowledge, and opportunities to excel in their careers. Here’s a step-by-step look at how the journey unfolds:  

1. Student Profile 

Your placement journey begins with creating a comprehensive profile on the placement portal. By filling in your personal details, academic qualifications, and professional goals, you set the foundation for recruiters to discover your potential. A complete and well-maintained profile significantly enhances your chances of being shortlisted. 

2. Placement Orientation 

Before the placement cycle begins, students attend a detailed orientation session. This session familiarizes you with the placement timelines, process flow, and the various steps involved, ensuring that you are well-prepared for every stage.

3. Upskilling 

To make you industry-ready, Manipal offers over 1,700 curated role-based and skill-focused learning modules. These cover essential areas such as verbal ability, employability skills, functional knowledge, and technical expertise.  

With flexible self-paced learning, you can strengthen your skills anytime, anywhere, allowing you to learn at your own rhythm and revisit concepts as needed. This approach empowers you to upskill at your convenience while sharpening the competencies that employers value most. 

4. Placement Portal Enrolment 

Once you’ve strengthened your skillset, the next step involves enrolling through the placement portal. This includes a detailed portal walkthrough, assessments, and formal enrolment to ensure you can seamlessly navigate upcoming opportunities. 

5. Placement Drives 

Finally, you gain access to regular job postings and placement drives that align with your profile, interests, and career aspirations. From job fairs to targeted placement assistance, the portal connects you with diverse opportunities across industries, paving the way for a successful professional journey. Online Manipal conducted a one-of-a-kind hybrid career fair connecting online learners with top recruiters across industries for real-world job opportunities.

Hear it from our students:  

MUJ’s MBA helped me land a Specialist role in the Asset & Wealth Management department at Goldman Sachs. The recorded lectures, study materials, and placement preparation sessions played a crucial role in helping me securing this job. The program not only enhanced my professional skills but also gave me the confidence to excel in interviews and assessments.

Manipal University Jaipur provided me the opportunity to attend in-person interviews which added a personal touch to the placements process. Even though I am an online learner, the face-to-face hiring allowed me to interact with recruiters of multiple companies. I was exposed to a variety of domain options to explore and choose from for my future.

This is what our recruiters have to say:  

The Online Manipal learners provided us with both academical excellence and practical skillsets. It’s the first job fair I have attended with Online Manipal, and I would say that the quality of students was quite good. Even though they are online learners and are trained only in virtual mediums, they have good communication skills and are presentable at in-person interviews. 

Ashish Verma | Manager – HR | Corizo 

Online Manipal learners are well polished, which is one of the best qualities we saw at the job fair. Since our employees work with international clients, we were primarily looking for learners with good communication and interpersonal skills. The profile expectations from Online Manipal learners were met, and how! I had the opportunity to meet a candidate with 5 years of experience. When asked why she wanted to join a startup like ours, she said that startups provide the opportunity to learn a lot of new things that established organizations cannot. This kind of curiosity to learn was inspirational.

How Online Manipal Stands Out 

While many online universities provide academic learning, few focus equally on employability. Online Manipal differentiates itself with an end-to-end career support system that combines learning, skill-building, and direct employer connect. This holistic approach ensures that students don’t just earn degrees but they build careers.  

With its three majestic universities, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal University Jaipur, and Sikkim Manipal University, Online Manipal has been giving nothing less than what the traditional learners are getting. This secure approach has been paving the way for students to embrace and bring their passion to life.
