It saw the participation of 22 companies covering 43 job profiles.

Elaborating on how the entire Placement process is being conducted online this academic year due to the impact of COVID-19, Prof. C.S. Shankar Ram, Advisor (Training and Placement), IIT Madras, said, “The IIT Madras Placement team has worked with our recruiting partners to seamlessly enable this transition. I am happy to share that we have exceeded the number of offers made in the 1.1 session from the previous academic year. I am optimistic that a similar trend would continue over the next few days.”

The Top Recruiters of Session 1.1 include

  • Microsoft – 19 Offers
  • Texas Instruments – 12 Offers
  • Bajaj Auto – 10 Offers
  • ISRO – 10 Offers
  • Alphonso Inc – 9 Offers

A total of 1,443 students have registered for placements in the 2020-21 Academic Year, across different streams of study. The total number of companies registered for Phase I of Placements is 256. They will be recruiting for a total of 472 profiles. As many as 71 start-ups have registered for recruitment in the ongoing academic year 2020-21.

Sharing his experience on the online placement process this year, Mr. Pranjal Jain, Under Graduate Placement Head, IIT Madras, said, “The placement process, though conducted virtually for the first time, was very well organized. The placement team and companies were well prepared and have scheduled the interviews to avoid conflicts.”

Sharing his experience in participating in online placements, Mr. Dhruv Sriram, a student from the Department of Aerospace Engineering who secured placement in McKinsey this year, said, “The Placement Session of 2020-21 at IIT Madras was definitely a challenging experience for students, organisers and companies alike. It was heartening to see the administration and the students of the placement committee rallying behind us to ensure a seamless virtual experience at each stage. Three words that best describe this placement season for me would be Empathy, Technology and Collaboration. Overall, a fantastic experience that would serve as a template for how placements may be conducted in the future across the country!”
