IIT-G placements haven't been impacted by coronavirus slowdown - Times of India

GUWAHATI: Even as multinational recruiters are rescinding their hiring plans from several top technology and management institutes, including the IITs and IIMs, pushing the placement processes into disarray, IIT Guwahati (IIT-G) is still going strong in the placement front amidst the global slowdown caused by Covid-19.

A statement issued by IIT-G on Tuesday stated that the corona crisis have not impacted placements that were confirmed by the recruiters in the IIT-G during placement season 2019-20 so far.

“Even in the current uncertain situation, the institute (IIT-G) is happy to note that placements have not been impacted so far. No offers, domestic or international, have been withdrawn. However, a few companies have postponed the date of joining. For internships, the institute is consulting the companies to assess the feasibility of work from home model. The institute is doing everything in its capacity to support students during this critical period,” said the IIT-G statement amid apprehensions made by some of the stakeholders that few students from the premier technology institute may also have to pay the price, after some of the recruiters are revoking their recruitment plans from the premier technology and management institutes in the country.

In the 2019-20 placement season, which started from December last year, 485 out of 561 registered students from BTech and BDes courses have got placements from the institute, registering placement record of about 87 percent. On the other hand in MTech and MDes courses, 177 out of 353 registered students have been placed so far with a placement record of over 50 percent. Total 15 other students from MSc, MS(Research) and PhD programmes have also got placements.

The highest offer during the placements in IIT-G this placement season was made by Microsoft amounting to USD 214,600 (Rs 1.5 crore) per annum in December 2019. Microsoft offered the highest international package of USD 214,600 per annum to three IIT-G students. An overwhelming response was received during the commencement of the placement season itself in terms of international offers which had doubled as compared to the previous season’s campus placement drive in IIT-G.

In the most sought after IT and Software branches, software development engineer, member technical staff, design, research and development (R&D), developers, IBSO, data science are some of the job profiles where IIT-G students have got placements, while in core engineering (automobile sector, civil construction, FMCG) branches, graduate engineer trainee, post graduate trainee and technical executive posts were offered to the IIT-G students. Among the non-tech profiles, business analyst, associate product manager and marketing manager positions have been offered to the IIT-G students and in the design branch, product designer and graphic designer jobs amongst other portfolios have been offered. IIT-G students were also found to be highly suitable for algorithmic trader as well as quant and data science job profiles by the recruiters.

With the coronavirus lockdown being extended until May 3, IIT-G will be compliant to the lockdown rules and regulations. However, the institute has already been conducting online courses of all the theory courses (more than 350) since April 4 and will likely be completing them by May 15. “The institute has tentatively scheduled examinations in July 2020. The institute will be welcome the incoming students for the new session in August 2020,” an IIT-G spokesperson added.
