Mumbai: Following the recent report revealing the startling data that 25 per cent of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay graduates failed to secure placements, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi has slammed the Narendra Modi government for digressing from real youth issues.
"If this is the campus job placement scene at IIT Mumbai, wonder how the rest are struggling to place their students," Chaturvedi said. The Rajya Sabha MP also attacked the government for not focusing on real social issues. "Let's outrage over OTT and digress from discussing the hard reality facing our youth today," she said pointing the on-going controversy over an OTT series on IC 184 hijack.
The surprising data on the season's IIT Bombay placements was slammed by the students union too. National Students' Union of India posted on its official X handle saying, "Promises of 'Achhe Din' falls flat as IIT Bombay placements highlight a bleak job scenario. With only 75% of graduates finding jobs and salaries plummeting to Rs 4 lakh per year, the Modi government's employment record continues to disappoint."
What IIT Bombay Placement Numbers Say
The trend of rising educated unemployment in India was highlighted after the IIT Bombay report. It displayed a notable drop in the minimum package, a stark decline from the previous year’s Rs 6 lakh.
Financial experts have also raised concerns over education and job scenario saying parents and students need to seriously think about investing serious money on coaching & preparation.
