Oracle has pulled dozens of job offers extended to students at premier Indian engineering institutes, including IITs and NITs, affecting both full-time positions and internships. The development was reported in May 2026, as the placement season approaches its end.
The US tech company’s decision has created significant anxiety among students who had secured offers during campus recruitment drives, only to have them rescinded. Both full-time roles and internship positions are affected by the withdrawals.
The move follows mass layoffs at Oracle and comes amid a broader slowdown in tech sector hiring, which may have contributed to the company’s decision to cut back on campus commitments in India.
For affected students, the timing is particularly difficult. With the placement season nearing its close, those who lost offers may have limited opportunities to secure alternative positions before graduating, and the slow tech hiring market could make that search more challenging.
