A standout feature of this year’s Phase-1 was the 28 international offers secured by students, marking a 27% increase compared to the previous year. Additionally, there was a notable rise in placements within core industries, driven by growing student interest in these sectors. Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) played a significant role, with BPCL leading the way as the top recruiter in this category.

Over 250 companies participated in the placement drive, which included prominent recruiters such as BPCL, NPCI, Databricks, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Qualcomm, Intel, Texas Instruments, Meesho, Shiprocket, Reliance, Meril Life, Deutsche Bank, ICICI Bank, American Express, SLB, Micron, Cars24, and FedEx, among others.

Prof. Manindra Agrawal, Director of IIT Kanpur, expressed pride in the achievements, stating, “The exceptional number of offers, including international opportunities, reflect the high-quality training our students receive. I congratulate the placed students and wish the best for those preparing for Phase-2 placements. I also extend my thanks to our recruiting partners for their trust in IIT Kanpur’s talent.”
