MBA placements affected as companies make fewer offers on campuses

“After completing Engineering, I joined MBA at a reputed university in Bengaluru, as I was told that it would improve my job prospects while also providing exposure to another field. Looking at the current placement trend, I feel like I should have secured a job three years ago after I finished my course,” said Vishnu Prasad (name changed), an MBA student from a private university in North Bengaluru. 

Owing to the ongoing economic situation and a dearth of new projects at MNC companies, many MBA students like Vishnu have not been placed in any company so far.

Management institutions from across the city said that while the number of companies coming to the campus has remained intact, the number of jobs has dropped this year.
