IITs Restrict 22 Firms After Unfulfilled Student Job Offers
Several companies gave jobs to students through IIT campus placements but later did not provide those jobs.
Because of this, the IITs reportedly decided to stop working with 22 companies for two placement seasons.
More than 150 student offers may have been affected.
Oracle is reportedly one of the companies involved.
The companies will be told about the decision by September 30.
The IITs are calling the action “non-cooperation” instead of blacklisting.
Placement offices are sending students’ resumes to other companies.
About 20% to 30% of the affected students have reportedly found jobs through these efforts.
The All IITs Placement Committee reportedly decided to bar 22 companies from IIT campus recruitment for two placement seasons.
More than 150 offers across 23 IITs were reportedly affected, with some firms withdrawing 10 to 15 offers each.
Oracle is expected to face the restriction after reportedly failing to honor about 40 offers to IIT students.
The companies are expected to be notified by September 30, with the action described as “non-cooperation” rather than blacklisting.
IIT placement teams have referred affected students to other recruiters, and an estimated 20% to 30% have since found jobs.
