Indian Institute of Technology Delhi on Tuesday said that while traditional disciplines of engineering like computer science and electrical engineering have registered good placements, interdisciplinary streams like energy studies, industrial tribology (ITMMEC), atmospheric oceanic science & technology and opto-electronics and optical communication have also seen a buoyant placement this year.
“IIT Delhi has recorded more than a 10% increase in placement for M.Tech students,” said the Registrar of IIT-Delhi.
“While energy studies, an interdisciplinary stream having courses spanning electrical engineering, physics and mechanical engineering, has registered a near 100% placement, other interdisciplinary areas have also mapped a vibrant placement trajectory,” the institute said in a statement. It added that as many as 202 MTech students were placed this year, compared to 183 last year.
In undergraduate placements, the institute said 540 students were placed out of which a maximum of 273 placements went to the core (technical) category followed by 187 and 133 placements in the IT and analytics sectors respectively.
The institute said over 950 job offers were received with many students bagging multiple job offers.
“Approximately 89.6% of students who availed training and placement services got placed. The remaining opted for higher studies/research or are preparing for civil services or are working on their own start-up ideas or got jobs through their own contacts/efforts,” said the Registrar.
