The point is that students & other Muslims can serve Islam without going on Jamaats. Tabligh Jamaat is just one of many ways in which people can preach Islam. I knew brothers who would always encourage others to be regular in Masjid and in attending lectures but none of them were members of the Jamaat.

No one is claiming work of tabligh is the only way. In fact, there are other ways of self reformation, for example, taking guidance from a qualified scholar on how to reform one self is also great way of rectification.
But, no one can deny this fact that who ever makes effort in the work of tabligh most likely will practice Islam in his life seriously. Once a Muslim spend time in jamat, it becomes hard for him to miss his salat or disobey any order of Allah. Any Masjid you go in the entire world, if there are brothers who went in jamat, then you will see them in salat 5 times a day inshaAllah. But, Yes, there are always exceptions.
So what does that tell us? If Muslims in mass scale did make the effort of dawah and tabligh, all our salat in the Masjids would become like Jummah salat. Even our Bangali brothers, who are "very" rarely seen in Masjids, change themselves after they spend time in jamat.
There is NO effort in the Muslim world that goes to the door of lost Muslims, requesting, begging them to come back to the practice of Islam, this is the effort of tabligh.
While there are many other type of effort of dawah, the kind of tabligh to go door to door, and all corners of the world is only in tabligh.
