Placements play an important role in one’s career and most of the time an institute's worth and credibility are judged on the basis of the same. IIT Kanpur maintains an am excellent placement scenario which has been explained further in detail

Department Wise:

  • Computer Science, Electrical and Mathematics & Computing (CEM): The branches are the most preferred by companies with CS placement being 100% while Electrical and Mathematics & Computing have above 95%.
  • Core Branches: Most students tend to go for core jobs because the core opportunities in their branches are scarce. However, IIT Kanpur has many top core companies visiting the campus yearly. 
  • Interdisciplinary branches: Some core companies allow students of these branches to sit for placements yet they prefer students from the main department over them.

Course wise

  • B.Tech/BS: The most sought-after students belong to either BTech or BS. Every firm offers enough roles to these students except some core companies that prefer MTech students to BTech students. 
  • Dual Degree: The students are open to opportunities offered to both BTech as well as MTech students owing to the nature of their degree
  • M.Tech/MSR/M.Sc: Branches like CSE, Stats, and Design provide good opportunities to MTech students. Some no core and almost all core companies prefer MTech students 

Kind of roles:

  • Software: The majority of recruiters are software firms that prefer CEM students or students with food coding skills in general.
  • Core roles: Quite a number of core companies visit
  • Analytics: The number of analytical roles offered has increased due to its increase in demand. Anyone with good analytical skills is open to such roles.
