I am in the final year of my study, and I am expecting to finish in the next 6 months.

I got invited for an interview to a company recently. The interview was with HR and the agenda was just about get to know each other.

Everything has gone well, and the HR is now asking me if I wish to proceed to the second stage of the interview now, or hold on for a while until it gets closer to my graduation.

The problem is, despite the fact that I am not in a hurry, if I don't have any offer in my hand, I will roam around and go for other interviews. But if I know the company wants me for sure then I won't continue searching and just focus on my studies.

My question is : Is it possible for a company to give an offer to an employee when the starting date is 4 to 5 months ahead ?

The HR has already told me that If I pass the 2nd interview, there will still be another interview so my guess is, by the time I clear all these interview steps, I should have left with another 4 months of my study.
