Off-campus jobs for the 2026 batch
Off-campus hiring isn't announced in one place. The same opening shows up on a company's careers page, in a few Telegram channels, and on job boards over several days, and the people who apply in the first day get read first.
Where 2026-batch openings are posted
- Company careers boards. Many product companies hire through Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby boards. New roles appear there before anywhere else.
- Telegram job channels. Job channels repost openings within hours. The big ones have 40,000 to 200,000 subscribers, which is exactly why speed matters.
- Public job feeds. Remote-friendly roles are listed on Remote OK, Himalayas, We Work Remotely and the monthly Hacker News "Who is hiring?" thread.
- Portals. LinkedIn, Naukri and Indeed carry the most posts and the most applicants per post.
Check eligibility before anything else
Read three lines of the post first: the batch (2025/2026/2027), the degree (B.Tech/BE, MCA, any graduate), and the location and work mode. If any one doesn't fit, skip it: an application you're not eligible for wastes your time and the recruiter's attention.
Apply the same day, to a person
Apply on the post's own page, and if the company published a hiring email, also send a short email for that one role (our guide to emailing HR has a template). Most applicants only click "Apply"; a five-line email from an eligible candidate stands out.
Keep a simple tracker
Company, role, date applied, how (portal or email), follow-up date. Follow up once after five working days. Count replies weekly, not daily: off-campus hiring is a numbers game played over weeks.
