Placements at IIT Madras rest in the hands of the rain Gods

NEW DELHI: Placements at IIT Madras, this year literally rest in the hands of the rain Gods. Incessant rains in Chennai, which led to floods and waterlogging in several parts of the city over the past fortnight, have made recruiters unsure of the placement at IIT Madras.

The institute was receiving frantic calls from companies coming for placements to the campus on Monday when schools and colleges in the city were told to remain closed due to rains.

IIT-Madras, however, said it is not affected much as of now and that the placements will take place startingTuesday.
