IITs Impose Two-Year Hiring Ban on 22 Companies Over Withdrawn Job Offers
The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) have decided to impose a two-year non-cooperation period on 22 companies, including Oracle, for failing to honour over 150 job offers made to 2026 graduates across 23 IITs. This measure, coordinated by the All IITs Placement Committee, means these companies cannot participate in campus recruitment for the next two placement seasons. IITs are also assisting affected students by sharing their resumes with other recruiters. The final list of companies is still being compiled.
