Hi, I am Nishant from Bhubaneswar. I am studying at Orissa Engineering College in Bhubaneswar. I have been placed in an MNC called PROLIFICS. They mentioned that they would send the offer letter after 20 days. Initially, they selected a total of 15 students from Odisha. However, after 30 days, they only sent offer letters to 5 students. It has now been more than 2 months. I reached out to the HR team via phone and email to inquire why I have not received the offer letter, while others have. They explained that they are sending the offer letters in slots and assured me that I would receive mine very soon. Despite their assurances, it has been more than 3 months, and I am yet to receive the offer letter. Could you please suggest what steps I should take next?

Advice on Waiting for an Offer Letter
The company must have kept you on their panel for placement, and as vacancies arise, they will likely send offer letters to candidates. Please inquire with the company about the probable time frame for when you can expect the offer letter. In the meantime, look for other opportunities, as it is not wise to put all your eggs in one basket. However, ensure that any other company you consider is equal to or better than the one that held the campus placement. Sometimes, companies try to bind you to contracts for stipulated periods of service or ask you to pay a certain sum if you leave the company earlier than agreed. This may create problems at the time of relieving if you decide to accept the offer from the former company (that visited your campus). However, this is a decision you need to make after assessing the circumstances.

Recruitment Practices and Their Implications
This is now a common problem. Companies come to campuses to "recruit" more students to keep a buffer in case some don't join or if they don't get candidates from better colleges. In some cases, they recruit against expected projects and don't actually want to hire unless the project starts. Colleges don't mind as they can show in their statistics that they achieved 100% placement, which appeals to the next year's students.
I suspect they did the same here. I have never heard of this particular company, so please check their antecedents. Don't waste time waiting. Search for a job and move on. It doesn't matter much if the job you take has lower expectations compared to the so-called MNC; there is actually no action you can take. Check with your college if there is any other company that came but is still looking for candidates.
