The whole recruitment process will be conducted in a single slot each day unlike other campuses to help the right fitment both for students and companies while providing enough time to recruiters to make selection judgements resulting in better hiring decisions. Therefore, there will not be multiple shifts within a day and a spread of companies across recruiting days.

Speaking about the upcoming placement season, Anishya Obhrai Madan, Head, OCS, IIT Delhi said: “The company slotting paradigm at IIT Delhi is very different from all other campuses and is based on a single slot each day. What this translates into is that the spread of companies will be more each day.”

“This year many organisations have increased their compensation. For the first time few organisations have indicated that their salaries in India may be higher than those paid by organisations recruiting for international profiles. We look forward to a healthy and robust placement season for both the recruiting organisations and students,” he said.

Recently, IIT Delhi secured 27th position in Times Higher Education (THE) Graduate Employability Rankings 2021 becoming the best institute from India for employability.
