The All IITs Placement Committee (AIPC) banned twenty-two companies from participating in the campus recruitment process for the next two placement seasons after they failed to provide jobs to students who had accepted their offers. This disciplinary measure is officially termed "non-cooperation" rather than an outright blacklisting.
More than 150 job offers across 23 IITs in the country were impacted by the withdrawals, with individual companies rescinding anywhere from 10 to 15 offers each. Notably, tech firm Oracle accounted for approximately 40 unhonored offers made to IIT students.
IIT placement cells are actively working to find alternative career opportunities by sharing the resumes of affected students with other companies currently recruiting on campus. Additionally, they are requesting companies with vacant positions to consider these students for those available roles.
