IITs Suspend Ties with Companies Over Withdrawn Campus Job Offers to 2026 Batch
Several Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) have suspended cooperation with 22 companies for two years after over 150 job offers to the 2026 graduating batch were withdrawn or deferred. This has raised concerns about the reliability of campus placement offers, as students face financial and career uncertainties between resigning from current roles and joining new ones. Institutions are supporting affected students by circulating their CVs to other recruiters, highlighting the risks involved in relying solely on offer letters before official joining.
