Students at the IIT-Bombay are expected to have a buoyant placement season this year.
Tom Mathew, Professor in Charge of Placements, said 'A number of offshore companies, which have never set foot on the campus for placements, have confirmed their participation'.
Last year, the students witnessed a recession in the first phase of the placement held in December. However, this year it is expected to be better.
“We are seeing an emerging trend with new companies showing interest in placements. We have received confirmation from a few of them,” said Mathew.
Rumors are that this year, the tech giant 'Apple' will also visit the campus for the placements but the placement cell refused to comment on the matter.
Mathew further said that the black-listed startups will be allowed to visit the campus this year for the placement.
“However, we are yet to get a confirmation on their participation as with the Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs). Last year, PSUs had come in early for placements by replacing start-ups in the early slots. We are yet to find out if PSUs want the early slots as they are yet to confirm their dates. Invitations have been sent,” said Mathew.
