Dollar dreams of some IITians who had bagged US offers from software giants in December 2016 are yet to materialise. While firms are trying their best to get IIT graduates on board as promised, many on campus are wary of US offers in the upcoming placement season. The number of US offers had, in any case, dropped to single digits at leading IITs last December after the change in the country's regime. Placement cells at IITs are now looking beyond the US for international profiles. Japan, Taiwan, Canada, Singapore and some European countries have begun to rise in students' preference list.
Very few IIT graduates who were offered jobs last year have started work in the US. The remaining have joined the organizations' India offices or are being offered alternatives abroad.
