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?

The company must have kept you in their panel for placement, and as and when the vacancies arise, they must be sending offer letters to the candidates. Please inquire with the company as to what will be the probable time by which the offer letter is expected at your end. In the meantime, look for other opportunities also as it is not wise to put all the eggs in one basket. However, ensure that the other company is equal to or better than the company which held campus placement, as sometimes companies try to bind you to contracts of stipulated periods of service or ask you to pay a certain sum in the event of leaving the company earlier than such a period. This may create problems at the time of relieving if at all you want to accept the offer of the former company (that visited your campus). However, this is the call you only need to take after assessing the circumstances.

This is now a common problem. Companies come to the campus 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 are recruiting against expected projects and don't actually want to unless the project actually starts. Colleges don't mind as they can show in their statistics that they got 100% placement, which sells to the next year.
I suspect they did the same here. I have never heard of this particular company. So please check their antecedents. And don't waste time waiting. Search for a job and move. It doesn't matter much if the job you take is of 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 still is looking for candidates.
