Multiple outlets report that a circular advisory, attributed to an IIT Career Development Centre and said to follow All IIT Placement Committee guidelines, is prompting debate among students and alumni. The advisory reportedly asks students to remove JEE and GATE ranks, scores, and percentiles from their CVs. Proponents of the move say it is intended to create uniform resumes for placements and internships and to shift focus toward skill-based evaluation. Critics argue that concealing entrance-exam results suppresses “hard-earned” academic achievements and may reduce transparency in how recruiters assess candidates.
The issue is widely discussed on social media, where participants remain divided. Some view the guidance as a step toward consistent presentation and reduced emphasis on entrance performance. Others question whether entrance-exam accomplishments should be treated differently from other academic or credential information. The reports characterize the development as a directive connected to upcoming placement and internship cycles and emphasize that the discussion is centered on how merit should be represented in hiring and recruitment materials.
