Campus placements are a crucial milestone for engineering students, marking the transition from academic pressure to professional stability. However, this year, numerous graduates from prestigious institutes like the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and National Institutes of Technology (NITs) have reported that their job offers were unexpectedly revoked. These stories, shared widely on social media, highlight the emotional and professional turmoil caused by sudden changes in hiring practices, often linked to organizational restructuring. One IIT Kharagpur graduate recounted losing two job offers—one from a multinational company and another from a US startup—after being scolded by a manager while seeking clarity on the situation. This prompted the student to advise future graduates to engage in 'offer shopping' to avoid being overly reliant on a single job offer. Another student from the National Institute of Technology Warangal shared a similar experience, stating that their accepted pre-placement offer was revoked due to internal changes. As these incidents gain traction online, they underscore the urgent need for better protections and regulations regarding job offers in the tech industry.
