When it comes to employment, a low-ranking university can actually be a good thing. Depending on the type of job you want, having attended a low-ranking university may actually help your chances of getting hired.

For example, if you want to work in sales, having attended a prestigious university isn't going to help you get your foot in the door. It could hurt your chances. Having graduated from a prestigious university can make employers think that you were only able to get into that school because of your connections or family wealth. The same goes for other fields like law or medicine, you don't need to have graduated from Harvard or Yale Law School to succeed in those fields.

However, if you're applying for a job that requires creativity and innovation (like writing or design), then having attended an elite school could be beneficial because those studies are taught at top universities and will give you an edge over other applicants who did not attend such institutions. However, You may also have less resources available than at other schools because of their smaller budgets.

But if you are willing to work hard and put in extra time outside of class, then attending a low ranking school will not hurt your chances of getting a job after graduation.
 
There are a number of universities that are considered low ranking. These universities are typically not as prestigious as the top-tier schools, and may have lower admission standards. Low ranking universities often have less impressive facilities and lower-quality professors. Students who attend these schools may find it difficult to find jobs after graduation.


There is no one definitive answer to this question. Each person’s experience may be different, depending on the industry they work in and the level of competition for jobs in that industry. However, there are a few things to consider when trying to answer this question.
One factor that could affect your employment prospects is the type of degree you earned from your university. If you studied a subject that is in high demand, such as business or engineering, you may be more likely to find a job than someone who studied a subject that is not in high demand.


Another factors that could influence your employment status. For example, the country you are from could play a role in whether or not you are able to work in a certain field. In some cases, the government will place restrictions on what jobs citizens of that country are allowed to do. For example, there are many jobs that Americans are not allowed to do in China because of the trade imbalance between the two countries.

In my own country it is one of the things that is looked at whenever an employment is ongoing. The company would check if that university is prestigious or not because it is very important to take this into consideration in order to know your level of understanding of the particular thing that you are applying for. I said this because most of the universities in my country are good in certain courses of study. There is a particular university that is the best in mass communication and if you attend such school and graduated from from there, your chances of working in a mass communication company will be much more easier for you than others. This is the major reason why I said that the course that you study depend on the anniversary that you attend and it will give you a better chance if you are getting a job in the Labour market. The answer is that the university that you attended will determine your chances of getting job in companies and most especially if you attend the prestigious universities your chances of getting a job very easily is very high than going to the ones that are not popular.
