Getting the job is becoming tough for the fresh engineering graduates. This fact is now very well known to the students. They feel themselves lucky if a company shows for the campus placement in the institutes. But even after the selection, students were asked to wait at least for next six months or for a year. A student of Noida based engineering institute said, “I have received the offer letter from the IT company but the joining date mentioned on it is after a six months”. Students in tire –II cities like Noida and Gurgaon have been affected the most by this attitude of the IT companies. A placement office in a Greater Noida based engineering institute told that many IT companies are going slow on placement this year. Only a few percent of the students have got the placement this year. However, the selection procedure is still going on. It is happening only due to the slow down in the US, which is affecting the Indian IT industry as well.
