Dear Colleges,
Your "100% placement record" brochure needs an update.
TCS just announced the end of mass campus hiring. 12,000 layoffs later, their Chairman said it out loud: "Not hiring the kind of numbers we used to." June 9, 2026
For 20 years, engineering colleges sold one dream: Get in, get placed, get settled. That pipeline just got choked.
So what's Plan B?
Plan B is Plan A for ecell by Ideazfirst.
Build an ecosystem where students don't wait for Day 1 of placement season. They launch on Day 1 of college.
We need:
1. Labs that run like garages
2. Professors who double as first customers
3. Alumni who write cheques, not just LinkedIn wishes
4. A campus where "failed startup" is a better resume line than "unplaced"
The IITs did it. BITS did it. Now every college has to.
If you're a college admin, faculty, or student who wants to set this up, ecell by Ideazfirst helps you build it. DM us "ECOSYSTEM" and we'll share our Campus Entrepreneurship Blueprint.
Don't prepare students for jobs that won't exist. Prepare them to create jobs that don't exist yet. University Grants Commission
