On day two the students had received around 27 offers against 41 last year. IIT Madras says recession has impacted them in terms of number of students being taken by the companies. “There have also been cancellation of visits in some cases,” says the institute. Questionnaires sent to other IITs on December 2 remained unanswered.P
