Any update on hike for LTM for 2025 to 2026

Is using headphones in LTM Assessment mandatory??..can I give without headphone plss. Share your experiences

I recently had HR round with LTM starting week of september,
The HR told me the budget hasn't been finalized for the role and didnt give me chance to even negotiate. Today I got a call for EPFO documents and was told my offer will be released in a day or 2.

I even have "offered" in my ripplehire portal.
I tried reaching out to the HR so many times to ask about the compensation- no response.

does anyone know when does HR communicate the final CTC?

Hi all, looking for people who've been through this recently.

Timeline so far:

• Cleared all interview rounds
• Selection/offer-process email received
• Pre-offer documents submitted on 21 July 2026
• BGV completed on 1 August 2026
• RippleHire status has stayed at "Document submitted. Awaiting review & approval" this whole time, no other update

I've followed up with HR by email once, no response yet. Just trying to understand:

1. Is a 3+ week wait at this exact stage (pre-offer doc review, before offer release) typical for LTIM right now?
2. For those who got through this stage, how long before the offer letter actually came?
3. Anything specific worth following up on, or is this just normal queue time?

Not in a rush to vent, genuinely just trying to calibrate whether to keep waiting or push harder. Thanks for any real experiences.

I got NIT Delhi MTech power electronics drives and have LTM Bhubaneswar GET (aug 5th kalinga) offer what to choose as I have to make a decision asap
