As the first phase of its placements drew to a close, IIT Kharagpur students got the maximum number of jobs compared to other IITs, institute officials said on Sunday.
The first phase of placements, which ended on Saturday, witnessed a growth of around 10 per cent with 1,100-plus jobs offered and 1050-plus students placed, they says.
This was achieved despite academic institutions and PSUs reducing their hiring numbers from the IIT campuses compared to the previous year.
IIT Kharagpur witnessed the participation of over 200 companies hiring for more than 275 profiles in the first phase of the placements. In addition, around 50 companies have also registered for the second phase beginning January.
Apart from big players like Shell, ITC, Schlumberger, Goldman Sachs, Hindustan Unilever, Credit Suisse, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, a large number of first time recruiters, including The Parthenon Group, Baker Hughes, Visa and TSMC, also visited the campus, with each one of them hiring close to 10 or more students.
"We are extremely thankful to the alumni community of IIT Kharagpur which played a pivotal role in the recruitment drive bringing in leading organisations and upcoming start-ups to the campus," said Punj Rajan, vice president of Technology Students' Gymkhana at IIT Kharagpur.
