The chairman of Career Development, Annappa B, stated that this season has seen very bulk hiring of students from techies, which has resulted in a significant decrease in the number of companies hiring from the on-campus drive. Most of the students got engaged with a good start; Hope the layoff season has ended.

2022 was the year of layoffs where many techies got laid off from the Tech giants like Twitter, Google, Amazon, HCL etc. This has led the students to go on off-campus drives, other streams etc.
