IITs to bar 22 firms from campus hiring for 2 years after 150+ offers unhonoured
More than 150 offers across 23 IITs are involved in the cases, with some companies withdrawing between 10 and 15 offers, AIPC convenor and IIT-Guwahati associate professor John Jose said.
The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) have chosen to bar 22 companies from campus hiring for two years following a situation where a majority of their job offers to students graduating in 2026 were not honored. This decision was made at a meeting of the All IITs Placement Committee (AIPC) held at IIT-Guwahati. The AIPC, which coordinates placement and internship guidelines across all IITs, will formally inform the companies about the decision by September 30.
Instead of using the term "blacklisting," the IITs refer to this action as "non-cooperation." Over 150 offers across 23 IITs are involved in this case, with some companies withdrawing between 10 and 15 offers. Oracle, a US enterprise software company which has recently cut thousands of jobs globally, is among the companies facing non-cooperation for two years, after reportedly failing to honor around 40 offers.
The IITs are also trying to mitigate the fallout for students affected by this action, by sharing their CVs with other recruiting companies on campus.
