Full platform access at no cost during the 2026–2027 placement season. Including all current and Phase 2 features as they ship.

30% off forever

Locked-in founding rate from Year 2 onwards. Always 30% below the published price tier — no matter how Novxarc grows.

Founding badge

A “Founding College” mark you can place on your placement portal, prospectus, and outreach materials. Recognition that travels.

04 · Influence

Roadmap input

Your TPO sits in a private Slack with our founding team. Feature requests from founding colleges go to the front of the queue.

05 · Access

Phase 2 first

In-platform assessments, video interviews, advanced analytics — founding colleges get access months before the public rollout.

06 · Support

Priority support

Direct WhatsApp line to our team. Response within 4 hours during placement season. Onboarding handled by Rahul personally.

Who qualifies

Built for serious placement cells.

The founding cohort is small on purpose. We want colleges that take placements seriously, run an active season, and want to shape how Indian campus hiring evolves.

Eligibility checklist

  • Indian college — engineering, MBA, or undergraduate. Tier-1 to tier-3 all welcome.
  • 300+ students in placement-eligible batches per year.
  • 20+ recruiters typically visiting per placement season.
  • An active TPO or placement cell — someone we can build with, not just sell to.
  • Willing to give honest feedback during the 2026–2027 cycle.

Common questions

FAQ.

What if my college has fewer than 300 students?

We may make exceptions for colleges with strong placement cells in tier-3 cities. The 300 number is a guide, not a hard cutoff. Apply anyway — we’ll review.

What happens after Year 1?

You move to the founding rate — 30% below standard pricing — for as long as you’re on the platform. There’s no surprise price hike or “now you pay full” moment.

Can we still use Excel or our existing tools alongside?

Yes. Novxarc imports CSV at any point. You don’t have to migrate everything in one go — many founding colleges run a hybrid first season.

What if we drop out mid-season?

We’d ask why first. Honestly, no founding college has dropped — we work hard to make it work. But there’s no contractual lock-in. You can leave anytime.

Do students and recruiters pay anything?

No. The college pays. Students never see a paywall. Recruiters in our pilot are also free until December 2026.

How is data handled?

All data is hosted on AWS Mumbai, encrypted at rest and in transit, compliant with India’s DPDP Act. Founding colleges get a custom DPA on request.
