What are the disadvantages of joining PGDIE at NITIE as a fresher?

A friend of mine joined NITIE with a one-year job experience but he was not a fresher. Some of the drawbacks are as follows:

• In the placement process, many companies show a preference for students who have prior job experience. It is seen most with consulting companies. 
• There are some companies that will hire freshers. You will not lose chances of getting placed.
• A student who has prior job experience will be able to understand the topics related to the possible real-life scenario which is more or less industry-based. They will be able to relate to the scenarios better than someone who does not have prior work experience. Experience always gives an upper hand.

Lastly, the LRP or laterals, the people with a work experience of higher than 20 months will be allowed to sit in the final placements twice. Candidates belonging to both LRP and CRP will get this opportunity and CRP if they are not placed in LRP. This option will not be available for the CRP candidates.
