Engineering students of a deemed university in Odisha have alleged that over 400 of them who supposedly got campus placement later realised the job offers from the multinational companies were fake. Siddhant Mishra, one of the students who received a job offer, said: “I got a campus placement offer letter on April 20. In April, the deemed university was ranked 20th in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2017 rankings of the HRD Ministry. The deemed varsity has offered a few options to the affected students as a damage-control move. If the students want to pursue an M Tech, the course fee will be borne by us,” registrar Pradhan said.
