No more placements in third year

I don’t know whether this is a good or bad news for the current third year B.E students in Tamilnadu. Anna University has told its affiliated engineering colleges to stop conducting placement programmes for third year students. Campus interviews will be conducted only from June 2008 for the students passing out in 2009. It seems that parents complained Anna University that students who were not placed in third year were neglected. Many leading colleges including many government and autonomous colleges are conducting placement programmes in third year itself. Some others are complaining that students are not studying in the final year after getting their offer letter (this is true indeed). Anyway if students are getting placed before they leave the college, it’s well and good.
