The lockdown caused by the corona, and the consequent downturn in the economy, all created a picture of declining employment opportunities. However, the picture is changing rapidly and employment opportunities are being created. IIT Kharagpur in West Bengal is a prime example. 1600 job opportunities have been created for the students of Kharagpur. One of the students has received an offer of an annual salary of Rs 2 crore 40 lakh. This year, in the first phase of the recruitment drive, IIT Kharagpur students have got so many employment opportunities in just ten days. One student will get an annual salary of Rs 2.4 crore, while the other 22 students will get an annual salary above Rs 90 lakh. The second phase of the recruitment drive will take place in the second week of January in the new year.
