Campus Placements are Slowing in 2024 — What Could Be Happening

Campus placements are slowing in 2024 says Deloitte

 

Deloitte talked about in their 2024 report.

  • 93 percent of the surveyed campuses emphasise the significance of Technical Interview performance as a pivotal criterion for placement
  • Drop in salaries offered to MBA students, fewer apprenticeships and pre-placement offers.
  • Skills are taking centre stage. Organisations are pivoting to specific skills/competency clusters within the educational stream while selecting their talent. For example, AI/ML in engineering, social selling in management and computational biology in pharma are the most in-demand skill segments. Complementing this trend, expectations from campus students are pivoting to management consulting roles for MBA specialisation and data scientist for technology talent.

My take: The entry level jobs are disappearing because AI is doing some of it. And some business models are changing and they don’t need those entry level jobs any more. I see this as a need for people to reinvent their career strategy.
