IITs Ban 22 Companies for Revoking Job Offers to 150 Students
Times of India · education
Twenty-two companies that withdrew job offers to approximately 150 students during the 2025-26 placement season will be barred from IIT campuses for two years. This decision follows their "non-cooperation" with placement teams, despite attempts to salvage commitments. The affected companies, primarily in software, data science, and edtech, cited financial difficulties or changing business models. While some students found new placements through individual IIT efforts or personal networks, the decision impacts promising graduates and highlights issues with recruiter accountability.
