Virtual hiring, WFH new normal for engg grads

Most engineering graduates set to pass out in 2021 are likely to be recruited ‘virtually’ and start working from home which is now the new normal, say recruitment officials and college authorities. Most recruiters in the IT-enabled services domain have not curtailed the number of on-campus offers while many of the core companies are waiting for January slots to recruit from the technological institute campuses of Bengal.
At the Heritage Institute of Technology, among a batch of 900 students of the 2021, between 20% and 25% have already opted out of the process to enrol in higher education, begin an entrepreneurship journey or study abroad. “Till now we have 543 offers. The number of offers has remained more or less similar over the past few years,” said Pradip Agarwal, CEO of the Heritage Group of Institutions.
