Struggling to place its students, IIT Indore is now eying to improve its placement tally through proposed Industry-academia conclave to be held on April 13-14.
Ongoing placements on the IIT's campus reveal that all the institutions set up between 2008 and 2009 are witnessing poor placement scenario. Among these, IIT Jodhpur and IIT Indore are the worst performers. Till now, only 70 per cent students of the maiden batch of IIT Indore have got job offers, with this institution positioned at second lowest rank among the new IITs in terms of placement. IIT Jodhpur stands at the bottom with just 60 per cent placement record.
Out of 100+ batch of IIT Indore, about 35 students are still unemployed and now the institution is hoping that the conclave that will bring together experts from the industry and R&D organization may help in getting job offers to them. Final list of placement is expected to be released after the conclave.
According to an IIT professor, many potential recruiters did not turn up for the campus placement due to economic slowdown.
Placement officer of IIT Indore, SK Vishwakarwa, said conclaves like this certainly help in placement as it acts as a bridge between industry and students. He said many big companies like Intel and others are coming for conclave. He added that last year the conclave was of great help in placements and they are expecting better result this year. Name of the participating companies and speakers will be made public soon.
Conclave will have discussion on the theme like exploring research and consultancy avenues between IIT Indore and corporate organizations in order to augment the growth trajectory of India in terms of scientific outcomes, and determine plausible solutions to bridge the gap between academic training and corporate expectation.
Organizers of the conclave claimed that the event will be beneficial to both companies and academia, as it would provide an appropriate platform for corporate organizations to present their views on topics of research and development that would provide communal benefit to both the society and active R and D organizations.
Interactive sessions between technical representatives from corporate organizations and IIT faculty members will help strengthen research and consultancy association and stimulate symbiotic partnerships. In addition, IIT students will be able to gauge industry requirements and determine the skill set that companies seek which in turn would assist companies in fostering prospective employees.
