This practice is already in place at IITK, except that it is not organized across the institute. So, I don’t really understand newsworthiness of this report.

Dear Ghosh Babu,
This kind of news is information for a lot of people. Nowadays with high cost of education, this news has the potential to become an option for students who want extra income for their needs.
This is a common practice in lots of colleges. I welcome this step. This has the potential to make IITs even more industry friendly and add to it’s sterling reputation. If this step is usefully employed then, students can learn industry practices while they are still studying effectively increasing their employment quotient..
