At Kanpur, Oracle had shortlisted three students from computer science background on Sunday and four in the waiting list.

Oracle has also hired students from IIT-Madras and Bombay, all at similar crore-plus salaries.

At IIT Guwahati, some 70 students have been selected by 15 companies, including Microsoft, Google, Tata Motors, Morgan Stanley, Flipkart, ITC and Dell, the report added.
