Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH) is all set for this year’s campus placement with as many as 85 companies expected to participate in the first phase, including several international and multinational firms.
The phase-I of campus placement will begin on December 3 and conclude on December 22. The second phase starts from first week of January 2018.
Last year phase I had some 70 companies visiting the campus, while the total companies in all phases were close to 130. A total of 424 students from different disciplines and departments of IITH have registered to appear for the campus placement of 2017-18.
Student-led activity
Speaking of this year’s placement season faculty-in-charge of placements Pradeep Kumar Yemula said: “Placements at IITH, like any other institute activity, are led by students. A team of dynamic student placement coordinators has been working since April 2017, preparing for placements which will culminate in the final hiring process beginning on 3rd of December 2017. The faculty, staff, and administration are facilitators for the entire process. This year we look forward to breaking our own previous records and build a stronger brand for the Institute among the recruiters. The credit for this ultimately goes to the students who are doing exceedingly well in all areas of academics.”
Some of the prominent companies coming to IITH include Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), international companies such as Yahoo Japan and SMS DataTech, Microsoft Corporation and Goldman Sachs.
