        abstract = {The transition from academic life to professional careers marks a pivotal stage for students, often accompanied by heightened stress, anxiety, and fear of placement outcomes. Placement fear, the apprehension surrounding job placements, is a psychological barrier that impacts many students during their final academic years.Through a mixed-methods approach, this research will utilize surveys, interviews, and psychological assessments to capture the emotional behavioral responses students’ exhibit in relation to placement fear. Factors such as self-esteem, locus of control, social comparison, and perceived career readiness will be examined to understand their relationship with the intensity of placement fear. This study aims to explore the psychological effects of placement fear on students' mental health, academic performance, and decision-making processes.The findings aim to provide insights into the broader implications of placement fear on students' psychological well-being and its potential long-term effects on career development. Furthermore, the study will offer recommendations for academic institutions and counselors to design targeted interventions and support systems that mitigate placement-related anxiety, ultimately fostering more resilient and confident graduates.},
