IIT Delhi Placement: Participating companies

Many companies with multinational operations have currently offered students for domestic roles which are expected to be converted to international offers depending on the situation.

Highlighting the sectoral trend data for the first phase of the placement season, Anishya Madan, head, office of career services at IIT Delhi, said: “Most students have opted for jobs in their technical core. Since IT and Analytics are core to some departments like computer science, mathematics and computing etc.; companies registering under the ‘finance’ track are recruiting for fintech roles and companies registering under ‘other’ sector also comprise many ‘core’ sector companies. Further, management students opted for management roles. We can say that around 90% of students have bagged offers in their core sector.”
