Old IITs are seeing stronger demand for AI and AI-adjacent skills, even as some companies scale back traditional entry-level hiring, The Economic Times reports. Campus officials say new opportunities are emerging in AI, data and technology-related work.
Why it mattersAI skills are also appearing in job descriptions beyond dedicated AI roles, including software, finance and core engineering. Officials at IIT Guwahati and IIT Kanpur point to that shift, while internships are translating into more pre-placement offers. The picture is a reported hiring trend, not a headcount forecast: institutes are still preparing for placement season, which starts on 1 December.
Discuss: Are these changes opening more routes into technology work, or shifting the skills burden onto graduates?
