There is the same trend in international offers this year too when compared to last year. For the current placement year 2020-21, we have received 30 international offers (as on day) from 08 companies across 2 countries (i.e. Japan & Taiwan). More international offers are expected in phase 2.
For placement year (2019-20), we have received 38 international offers from 15 companies across 3 countries (Japan, USA & Taiwan).
A total of 500+ students have registered for placements across departments this year. For Phase I of placements, a total of 116 (as on day) companies have registered, compared with about 150 companies in phase I of last year (2019-20). A total of 244 companies had registered in the whole of last year (2019-20) which include 15 start-ups.
Including the accepted Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs), a total of 206 students have already been placed at the end of Phase I Placements for the 2020-21 Academic Year. This compares favorably with the overall students placed in the entire previous academic year (2019-20), which was 295 students (including 37 PPOs). In the current placement year 2020-21, for circuit branches we have crossed more than 75% of placement during Phase-I. Most of the offers so far are from the IT/ITES sector, with few in the core sector as well.
Speaking about Phase I of Campus Placements, Dr. Pradeep Yemula, Faculty In-Charge (Placements), IIT Hyderabad, said, “We have anticipated a slowdown due to the pandemic and accordingly strengthened our student teams to adapt to the changing scenario. We are glad to see the placement season at IITH has started on a positive note.”
