In July 2026, a student at ICT Mumbai addressed the circulation of a fraudulent, AI-generated poster regarding the placement statistics for the chemical engineering batch of 2026. The student clarified that the viral document was inaccurate and provided a link to the official placement data to ensure transparency for the student body.

What happened

The incident involved the spread of misleading information presented as formal placement data. The student, who graduated in 2026, stepped forward to debunk the AI-generated content by sharing an authenticated document. According to the student, the official data accounts for specific student statuses, including those categorized as ineligible due to academic standing (AT-KT). Furthermore, the student noted that the official document was slightly outdated, as five additional placements had occurred that were not yet reflected in the uploaded file. The student emphasized that the shared information was intended strictly for informational purposes to correct the record regarding the batch's employment outcomes.
