Hiring volumes of conventional tier-I recruiters have not kept pace with the significant increase in the number of students graduating from IITs and NITs, creating an opportunity for new categories of recruiters to pick talent from these premier institutions, said Amitabh Jhingan, partner EY Parthenon and EY Global Education Sector Leader. Also, while overall PSU hiring has declined, their desire to "diversify and rejuvenate their human capital and talent base" has potentially increased recruitment from tier-I campuses, he said.
