 IIT placement woes: Top schools have more unplaced students, alumni association reports:



KRISHA BHATT/MUMBAI. The placement season at various campuses of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) began in December 2023. It is increasingly gaining traction as placement numbers depict a worrying image for pupils.
Dheeraj Singh, an IIT Kanpur alumnus and the founder of Global IIT Alumni Support Group, revealed data based on an RTI filed by him, revealing that placements may not be an easy and profitable process this year.

According to Singh, the IITs may see a bigger number of unplaced students than in past years. He computed the numbers from the RTI data he received.
According to Singh's figures, 712 of the 1,976 students who registered for placement possibilities this year have yet to be placed. His projection indicates that around 35.6% of students may not be placed this year.
Comparing these numbers to the previous year's placement data reveals that around 33.4% of students were unable to obtain jobs during the placement season last year.

Similarly, at IIT Delhi, Singh's findings indicated

Taking into account recent student suicides.
"This is a very disheartening situation for our country's top young talent." IITs should assist unplaced students in getting employment. Singh emphasized the gravity of the situation, citing a recent spike in suicides among IIT students.

According to Singh, recruitment company pay have decreased from crore-plus deals to Rs 3-4 lakh annually. "Clearly, our economy is not producing enough jobs for youth and we are heading towards greater unemployment and economic inequality which is a worrisome trend" , Singh went on to say.
When The Free Press Journal contacted IIT Madras, IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, and IIT Bombay to inquire about their reactions and confirmation of the predicted figures, only IIT Delhi indicated that this may not be true this year.
IIT Bombay shared a pie graphic on X, demonstrating that only 6.1% of their students are looking out for jobs 

A similar placement scenario has been expected for IIT Madras, with around 45.2% of registered students remaining unplaced this year. Of the 2,100 students who registered for placement services, 950 did not obtain employment offers. In 2023, around 31.9% of the 2,323 registered students at IIT Madras remained unplaced.
Singh has raised concern over the expected percentage of unplaced students at IITs. He has underlined the necessity for the institutes to help unplaced students find employment.
