JEE Main 2024: One of the prominent conversations these days is the absence of some big companies in the placement season at IITs. While many have attributed this to the onset of a global recession, there are some other factors as well.

"IITs/NITs follow a very rigorous theoretical curriculum of engineering, but they are lacking the support system and blueprint to guide undergraduate students to transition into a career in research and core industry," writes Meshram.

Students, most often advised by their parents, typically pick the “highest” course that they can get based on their rank. Any intrinsic interest a student may have in a particular subject becomes collateral damage,” writes Professor Khemani
