 Despite the market recession, IIT's pay package is solid, but worries about second round hiring are growing

The average cost of the business (CTC) is ₹20 lakh annually, which is higher than the ₹19 lakh promised for FY20 but somewhat less than the ₹22 lakh offered for FY20.

The Economic Times writes that a CareerNet research shows that, when compared to offers made in 2022 and 2021, salary packages for FY2024 recruitments at the top Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) campuses in the nation stay in the steady zone.

Interestingly, the average cost-to-company (CTC) was reported at ₹20 lakh annually (per year), which is higher than FY2012 but somewhat less than the ₹22 lakh annually given for FY2013. The annual sum that is being suggested exceeds ₹19 lakh. During this recruiting cycle, the maximum offer was ₹3 crore, which was ₹2 crore in FY2013.

Based on CareerNet's study, the projected placement rate after Phase 2 for all IITs is around 70%, which is a decrease from 77% in the previous year.

15,100 of the 17,800 students enrolled this year have registered for placements, which is a little below than the 77 percent placement rate for the 17,300 students at the IITs last year.

Campus Emotions and Placement Patterns

De Ta reported a rise in hiring for R&D and core industries over the prior year, despite hiring in the IT services and consulting sectors slowing down.

It said that even though 40–45% of students were placed in the first round, there is a sense of unease among the IITs about the placements that will take place in the second round.

Furthermore, sources informed the newspaper that in order to guarantee a successful start to the placement season, "strategic maneuvering" techniques were used, such as moving the participation of firms initially slated for later slots to the first week. It said that the IITs had chosen not to publicly announce the "Crore" bracket offer internally in light of the continuing issue.

According to Anshuman Das, CEO of CareerNet, Phase 1 placements could decrease by 10% to 15% when compared to typical years.

expectations for the future

IITs now strive for a 75–77% placement rate, with a focus on Phase 2 placements, according to the statement. In order to meet their typical goal of 90–95% placements, the top 8 IITs seek to cover an additional 30% of placements.

Concerns have been raised by industry experts to the newspaper over the difficulties lower-tier IITs may have in reaching their typical placement rate of 60–65 percent this year.
