The All India Placement Committee (AIPC) of IIT institutions has imposed a two-season ban on 22 companies found to have rescinded job offers after issuing formal offer letters to candidates. The decision was taken during an AIPC meeting held at IIT Guwahati earlier this month.
The action represents a significant crackdown on recruitment malpractices that have affected numerous students across IIT campuses. Companies that renege on employment commitments after issuing official offer letters face restrictions from participating in campus placement drives during the next two recruitment cycles.
The blacklisting underscores growing concerns among India's premier engineering institutions about the integrity of the campus recruitment process. Such incidents have previously sparked student protests and raised questions about corporate accountability in hiring practices.
The ban applies across all IIT institutions, effectively preventing the listed companies from accessing talent from the country's top engineering colleges during the stipulated period. The move is expected to serve as a deterrent against similar practices by other organizations participating in campus placements at IIT campuses.
