The institutes are exploring various options to equip students for a rapidly evolving job market, including increased interactions with <!-- -->recruiters<!-- --> and industry experts to understand their requirements, workshops, external mentoring, student profile mapping, and soft skill courses.<br \/>Institutes acknowledge that they have faced challenging placement seasons in the past and will continue to experience them in the future. This realization has prompted them to adopt a different approach to tackle the emerging scenario and better prepare students for the dynamic job market.<br \/>According to an ET report, <!-- -->IIM Kozhikode<!-- --> has established the CARE office this year, an initiative by director Debashis Chatterjee, to focus on improving students&#8217; employability rather than solely targeting immediate job opportunities. The office provides a platform for long-term <!-- -->career<!-- --> development through three functions: Corporate Access, Corporate Readiness and Corporate Engagements.<br \/>The Corporate Access cell facilitates students&#8217; understanding of sectors and roles through workshops with industry leaders, bridging the knowledge gap between students and industry needs. <br \/>The Corporate Readiness cell focuses on candidate profile development through one-on-one coaching and personal branding workshops. <br \/>The Corporate Engagements cell aims to build sustainable relationships with recruiters, led by a designated professional supported by a team of 5-7 professional recruitment managers currently being hired by the institute.<br \/>Prof Rajesh Srinivas Upadhyayula, dean (programmes) strategic management at IIM Kozhikode, explains the need for change, &#8220;In the last decade, batch sizes have doubled but the process hasn&#8217;t changed.&#8221; <br \/>He emphasized that the job market is becoming increasingly unpredictable, requiring multiple career paths and a different approach to engaging with recruiters. The focus is on identifying and addressing gaps to enhance students&#8217; long-term career prospects.<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
