MUMBAI: Last year's placement season at the leading Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) saw Facebook make one of the most well-paid
offers to a handful of students. This year, the social networking hard has not
even registered for placements at any of the IITs, leaving a number of hopeful upset.
Though the recent global economic decelerate has not had a major impact on the total number of companies registering at IITs, some big names are yet to turn up, placement co-ordinators told TOI.
At IIT-Bombay, for instance, approximately 210 companies have registered so far compare with last year's total of 280. Avijit Chatterjee, professor-in-charge for placements at IIT-B, though, hopes the numbers will rise by 100. Placements will continue till the end of the academic year in June.
