Fatima Mata National College (FMNC) in Kollam, Kerala, maintains a dedicated Career Guidance and Placement Cell that supports final-year UG and PG students through campus drives, training, and job fairs, though placements remain moderate with many opting for higher studies or government jobs. As per NIRF 2023 data (latest detailed report), 118 out of 641 eligible UG students and 53 out of 162 PG students secured placements, highlighting a focus on commerce streams like BCom over arts/science.
FMNC's 2021-2022 placements (NIRF 2023) show a median UG package at INR 2.70 LPA for 3-year programs, with 118 placed students from 641 eligible. PG 2-year programs had a median of INR 2.82 LPA for 53 placed out of 162, while NIRF 2025 notes UG median at INR 2.25 LPA and PG at INR 2.40 LPA. Student reviews indicate the highest packages up to INR 4-7 LPA, mainly for BCom/BA Economics, with 15-25% overall placement rate and 60% in professional courses; traditional streams fare lower. In 2025 drives, 35 UG and 6 PG students were placed, per preliminary reports, emphasizing skill-building for PSC exams and off-campus opportunities.

Placement Cell Activities
The FMNC Placement Cell organizes workshops, seminars, mock interviews, resume-building sessions, and aptitude training to enhance soft skills and job readiness. A major highlight was the March 20, 2022, job fair, bridging students with employers, repeated annually with live vacancy updates. Cell contacts firms, schedules drives (post-registration by students), conducts pre-placement talks, and facilitates offers; it also guides on PSC/government jobs where many succeed. Activities extend to career counseling, alumni networking, and industry tie-ups for exposure; commerce students benefit most via bank recruitments. Students must register early for updates via fmnc.ac.in. The cell promotes higher studies abroad, leveraging the degree's value in interviews.
Internship Details
Internships are not campus-mandated but facilitated through partnerships like IIT Delhi for select programs, with some BCom/BA Economics students securing company stints. Reviews note optional internships in banks/Federal Bank affiliates, aiding placements; no formal UG/PG stats, but cell workshops prepare for them. Scholarships support experiential learning, complementing FYUGP's skill electives like Tally/IELTS.FMNC emphasizes holistic development, with placements as one avenue alongside government jobs (via PSC) and advanced studies; cell contact: placement@fmnc.ac.in or campus office. For 2025-26 updates, monitor NIRF reports or the official site, as drives continue post-admissions.
