If you're a 2025 or 2026 batch fresher who didn't get placed through campus placements, off-campus drives are your best opportunity to land a job at top companies. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know.

What is an Off-Campus Drive?

An off-campus drive is a recruitment process conducted by companies outside college campuses. Unlike on-campus placements where companies visit your college, off-campus drives are open to all eligible candidates from any college. They are conducted at company offices, rented venues, or entirely online.
