A high-performing IIT graduate struggled with campus placements due to alleged bias but succeeded through an independent portal. Concerns about favoritism in campus placements have prompted IIT Bombay to form a panel for transparency.

The article discusses the challenges faced by IIT graduates in securing jobs during campus placements, as explained by Professor Rajeev Kumar, former director of IIT Bhubaneswar. He highlights that the current economic climate, including global economic slowdowns and geopolitical tensions, has led companies to reduce hiring. Additionally, there's a mismatch between the skills students acquire and what industries require, with a particular emphasis on the need for more practical, industry-relevant skills rather than just theoretical knowledge. Professor Kumar also points out that the hype around IITs creates unrealistic expectations, and the focus on high packages during placements overshadows the broader employment scenario. He suggests that IITs should adapt their curriculum to better prepare students for the job market, encourage entrepreneurship, and foster a mindset that values diverse career paths beyond just high-paying jobs.
