IIT Bombay has blacklisted 9 companies from placments after they
revoked offers made to students or delayed the joining date.
All the
companies have been banned for one year, implying that they can come
back after the placements for the year 2016-17.
The companies include Pune-based on-demand grocery start-up PepperTap,
which is shutting down operations, and health tech start-up Portea
Medical.
Besides these two, Cashcare Technologies, China’s Johnson
Electric and GPSK have also been banned for revoking offers.
The other ground for blacklisting, cited by IIT Bombay in a press
release on Thursday, is the weak credentials of a firm. LeGarde Burnett
Group “revoked the offer and the company was found to be fake with no
proper office address,” it said.
Another firm Mera Hunar came with a different name and hired students
for another start-up, while LexInnova and IndusInsight have been banned
for delaying the joining.
This is not the first time that an IIT is banning companies.
In May 2016, Flipkart had an imbroglio with IITs after it deferred the joining
date of recruits.
The matter was settled after Flipkart came around and
promised to take the recruits.
