Research Scholars spend their work time producing novel research. They read about the latest advances in their area, propose and experiment with novel ideas, critically analyse their results, and publish and present their findings at highly selective international conferences and journals for peer-review and information dissemination. While doing so, they develop, under the apprenticeship of their faculty supervisors, skills for critical reading, ideation, experimental design, implementation, analysis, synthesis, writing, and communication. Many Research Scholars also help their faculty supervisors in informally guiding Master’s and Bachelor’s students on smaller projects, write proposals for research funding, and actively pursue collaborations with other research groups from around the world. PhD students are expected to take their own initiative and transition to become independent researchers over the course of time. To obtain a PhD, the Research Scholars have to publish their research in reputed journals and conferences, and produce a PhD thesis (dissertation). 

PhD studies is also a time to develop a well-rounded personality by pursuing extra-curricular activities. Mumbai provides a cosmopolitan and metropolitan lifestyle, being the financial capital of India, with its experience of diverse cultures, cuisines, and industries. Most students can find accommodation in one of the hostels of the IIT Bombay campus. There are also studio apartments available for married students. The campus is well-equipped with numerous sports facilities and it has numerous student interest clubs.  .

Candidates in the final year of their programmes and who expect to complete all their qualifying degree requirements before the date of registration are also eligible to apply for admissions. For short-listing purposes, their performance until the preceding semester (preceding year if their programmes are year based) would be considered but their admission would be provisional, subject to their meeting the minimum eligibility criteria after their final qualifying examination results are announced. In any case, all admissions are provisional at first and it is confirmed only after all certificates and previous records are duly checked and verified, a process which may take a few weeks into the starting semester.

36% of IIT Bombay graduates fail to get placement, says report

Despite being a premier institution, iit bombay faces a setback as 36% of its latest batch fail to secure placements, signaling challenges in the job market and raising concerns about unemployment..

Listen to Story

• IIT Bombay faces 36% graduate unemployment months after IIM Lucknow and BITS Pilani seek alumni help for placements
• India Employment Report reveals 29% graduates unemployed
• Concerns mount over job market challenges for highly educated youth

It is no secret anymore that this is simply not the best time to be in the job market. In recent months, some of the top companies in the world have carried out mass lay-offs, and implemented hiring freezes and other cost-cutting features.

Even though it is that time of the year when IIT and IIM "100% placement" news grab eyeballs, the latest batch of students at IIT Bombay faces a significant setback. With 36% failing to secure placements, concerns about unemployment in India are on the rise.

Out of 712 students who registered for the 2024 placements out of the approximate 2000 total candidates, a staggering 36% are yet to find jobs.

HIGH SALARY PACKAGES A NO-NO?

An official from IIT Bombay's placement cell, speaking to Hindustan Times, attributed the difficulties in inviting companies to campus to the global economic meltdown, with many companies hesitant to accept pre-decided salary packages.

According to officials, this year marks the first time that students from the computer science and engineering branch, typically achieving a 100 percent placement rate, have failed to reach this target. This course remains the most sought-after at the institute.

While the institute aims to maintain high average salary packages, there are growing concerns that this focus may not be aligned with the needs and aspirations of all students, leading to complexities in the placement process.

In the initial phase of placements in December, it was announced that 85 candidates had received offers exceeding Rs 1 crore. However, this figure was later corrected, revealing that only 22 students had actually received such offers. The placement season is set to proceed till May 2024.

Despite efforts from the institute, many students are faced with dilemmas regarding job offers, with some opting for alternative paths to employment rather than accepting initial offers.

With a significant portion of companies seeking talent from the domestic market, the dynamics of the job market are evolving, posing new challenges for both students and recruiters alike.

In the wake of these developments, it becomes imperative for stakeholders to come together and devise strategies that address the evolving needs of students and the realities of the current job market situation.

IndiaToday.in has reached out to IIT Bombay for a reaction and is yet to receive a response.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Such news about students grappling with job placements at a top-notch institute in India comes as a shocker and many on X (previously Twitter) have started to talk about it.

"This is from IIT Bombay, supposedly one of the better colleges in India. If these people can't find jobs, it tells you just how massive & serious the problem is," said one user on X.

"Is anyone tracking the scale of the unemployment in India? Do we have competent policymakers to deal with this mess?" they added.

"Getting into IIT was supposed to be sure-shot way to jobs/success. Not anymore," a user stated.

"Even IIT's situation is like this. What can we expected from other Institutions," commented another.

HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AMONG INDIAN GRADUATES

As per the India Employment Report 2024 released by the Institute for Human Development and International Labour Organisation (ILO) on March 26, finding a job at this time is very difficult, especially for the more educated youth in India.

As per the report from ILO, the unemployment rate among Indian youth with a graduate degree is 29.1%. On the other hand, the unemployment rate among illiterate individuals is 3.4%. Thus, the chances of one being unemployed in India increase 9 times when you get a graduation degree.

In 2022, 83% of the unemployed population in India comprised young Indians aged between 15 and 29. Indian youth are now more educated, but there are simply not enough jobs for the educated masses.

IIT BOMBAY NOT THE FIRST TOP INSTITUTE WITH PLACEMENT ISSUES

IIT Bombay is not the first premier institute in India to face placement issues in the current job environment.

First IIM Lucknow, now BITS Pilani asking alumni to help out with placements. This is the first time I am seeing such groveling after 2008. "help them tide through current crisis" "gentle request to please keep this in mind" "Thanking you very much in advance" pic.twitter.com/TI27X7THk6 — Ravi Handa (@ravihanda) February 22, 2024

"You are well aware of the current industry downturn and its effect on the businesses and prospective hiring. The global economy has not experienced this kind of slump since decades. The technology sector is radically impacted, with around 4 lakhs employees being laid off globally since January 2022,” the letter stated.

The closing placement statistics for BITS Pilani's Indian campuses in 2022-23 stood at a healthy 89.2%. But Kumar noted that the hiring slowdown had only deepened since then.

A month before, in January 2024, it was IIM Lucknow, one of the top b-schools in India, that was forced to walk the same path.

The institute has reached out to its alumni network to secure jobs for 72 students of the current batch in order to maintain its 100 percent placement legacy for its students.

IIM Lucknow is reaching out to alumni to help them with placements. It is “crucial to maintain the legacy of IIM Lucknow’s 100% placement record”. It isn’t about 5-10 people but 72 candidates at IIM-L do not have a job. Imagine the status at other B-schools. pic.twitter.com/uYaTCmY3h7 — Ravi Handa (@ravihanda) January 31, 2024
