entirely unconfirmed information, but I heard recently that a tier 1 firm is going to implement a hiring freeze 'for the 2025 batch' by april-ish. I don't really understand how hiring freezes work - and to me it makes more sense to implement a hiring freeze for a particular year in general and not a batch specifically?
It makes sense to me if by april 2024, they choose to not hire any other students (apart from campus placements) for the year 2024. But it seems a little illogical if they decide in april 2024 itself who they would be hiring from a batch graduating in 2025 (which is why i doubt this is the case, subject to correction).
Most tier 1 firms close hiring from PPOs by April- June of the previous year for the next batch, because of Day 0 in June/ July. Internships through RCC are also offered like that
