Placements at the older Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) continue to face challenges despite ongoing efforts. At institutes like IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi, significant percentages of students remain unplaced as of April. While undergraduate programs show better placement rates, master’s and PhD programs lag behind, affecting overall hiring figures. The pandemic-induced tech slowdown and a decrease in hiring have impacted offers, with smaller companies offering lower salaries, leading students to wait for better opportunities. Despite ongoing placement efforts and upcoming visits from more companies, the situation remains tough, compounded by large batch sizes and increased demand for placement services.
