Oracle has reportedly withdrawn job offers previously extended to candidates across several Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and National Institutes of Technology (NITs). The move comes just weeks after the tech giant executed a massive global restructuring effort, which saw the termination of over 30,000 employees worldwide, as per Business Today.
According to reports, the offers were revoked due to internal restructuring and changes in hiring capacity. Oracle had initially hired these students through campus placement drives held in 2025, according to an India Today report.
A student from an NIT, named Aditya Kumar Barawal, shared on LinkedIn that Oracle had withdrawn his pre-placement offer, stating the decision was unrelated to candidate performance.

In his post, Barawal noted changes in employee headcount targets ultimately led to the withdrawal of his offer.
An official communication shared by the institute reportedly said the company had “withdrawn the offers extended to these candidates at no fault of their part.”
Reports suggest at least three students from one NIT were directly impacted, while Reddit discussions and student accounts claimed that more than 50 students across IITs may also have been affected. Some IIT campuses, including Hyderabad, Kanpur, and Kharagpur, were reportedly among those impacted.
The development has plunged students into uncertainty, especially as most campus placement cycles are nearing completion. Students have expressed concern because many IITs and NITs follow a “one student, one offer” placement policy.
Under this system, candidates who accepted Oracle's offer were unable to apply for other companies during placement season. Following the withdrawal, several students are now searching for alternative opportunities in an already challenging job market, reported BT.
