‘Hiring scam' by colleges leaves engg grads in the lurch
Hyderabad: Amid a slowdown in recruitments, several engineering graduates from Hyderabad are being taken for a ride by 'fake' job offers. And it isn't dubious consultancies but private B Tech colleges that are at the centre of this scam, students allege. According to them, at least a dozen colleges across the city – to lure more students with 'impressive' placement records – are tying up with small firms to issue fake offer letters that, soon afterwards, are withdrawn. In some instances, fresh graduates TOI spoke to said they landed up at work with these letters only to find that the firm is a sham and exists only on paper. Majority of them are being offered 'trainee engineer' or 'trainee developer' posts with modest starting salaries of Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 a month.

But when I went there, I realised there was no such company running from that location," said B Balaji, who recently completed his electrical engineering from a college on the outskirts of Hyderabad. He alleged that the company hired hundreds of students in the placement drive, only to leave them high and dry. "When the company came for placements, we ran a background check.

So, we assumed it was genuine," said Balaji, adding, "But later, when it was time for us to join, we found that the company had deleted its online footprint. There was no way we could contact anybody either as the phone numbers weren't working." B Tech graduate, Praneeth Kumar, from another mid-size private institute had a similar experience. "While the company recruited 10 students, the management gave job letters to over 25. I realised that the offer given to me was fake when the placement officer kept giving vague replies about my joining and eventually said the offer was rolled back," alleged the CSE graduate. Advertisement material Students claim colleges have turned them into advertisement material to showcase on placements boards even when they know these jobs are bogus. "My college's publicity material claims I got two job offers. In reality, one company hired me as an intern falsely promising a Rs 3.6 LPA salary after completion. The other, which offered Rs 4.5 LPA for a Salesforce developer role initially gave May 1 as joining date but has since gone silent despite repeated follow-ups. My college says it's not its responsibility," said Nithin B, a ECE graduate. 'Only way to save colleges' reputation' Shockingly, training and placement officers (TPO) at some of these colleges admit to this practice. They claim they are forced to manipulate students and create fake records to protect the college's reputation. "In the last two years, the job market has been very dull. So, to help colleges show placements, in order to attract fresh enrollments, we have been drafting fake offer letters in one of the recruiters' names or paying a firm that's willing to give job offers to students," said a placement officer working with engineering colleges for almost two decades. He added: "It is true that these jobs are often only on paper." Another TPO claimed that the count of such colleges increased by at least 30% this academic year. "Earlier, only a few colleges used this tactic. Now, many are doing this. They call companies even when they do not have job requirements and are issuing fake offers," she added. Members of the Telangana Schools Technical Colleges Employees Association said the issue has been brought to their notice by faculty from different colleges. "They have even filed complaints about this arrangement between college managements and firms. Both parties are aware that these offers will not be honoured," said A Santosh Kumar, president of the association, demanding action against such colleges.

BTech: KTU waives min credit requirement
Thiruvananthapuram: APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University has waived the minimum credit requirement condition for the promotion of undergraduate students to semester 5 and 7 for the academic year 2025-26. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now As per the BTech 2019 regulations, the following minimum credits are required for progression to higher semesters for registration to semester 5 21 credits from semesters 1 and 2 (out of 38) and for registration to semester 7 47 credits from semesters 1 to 4 (out of 82). These requirements, which were temporarily waived during the earlier academic years in view of the disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, were reinstated in the 2023-24 academic year. However, the university received several representations from students and affiliated colleges highlighting the difficulties faced by a substantial number of students who remain ineligible for promotion due to credit shortfalls. "Based on the analysis by the academics branch, it was noted that for the BTech programme, around 4,208 students do not meet the credit requirement for semester 7 registration. Approximately, 6,428 students are ineligible for semester 5 registration," said the university order that announced the waiver. Such ineligible students constitute nearly 15% and 20% of the respective cohorts in BTech. As per the regulations, students unable to progress to semester 5 may be required to shift to the 2024 curriculum, leading to an additional academic burden due to transitory course requirements. Similar to the BTech programme, a significant number of students from other undergraduate courses are also at risk of losing academic continuity due to non-fulfilment of credit requirements.

Based on the inputs of the academics branch, and in view of the need to ensure continuity and equity in academic progression, a proposal was placed before the vice-chancellor. Accordingly, evoking the powers under section 14 (5) of the APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University Act, 2015, sanction was accorded by the VC to waive the minimum credit requirement for promotion to higher semesters in all undergraduate programmes for the academic year 2025-26," a university order said.
