1 of 3 IITians didn't find a job in campus drives in 2016-17
Only 66% students graduating from IITs were placed in the 2016-17 academic year, as against the 79% the year before that. The data collected from 17 IITs by Ministry of Human Resource Development revealed that out of the 9,104 students who participated in the placement drives, only 6,013 got jobs. Global slowdown has been cited as the most likely reason.
