Shared data from so many sources

Dheeraj Singh has collected this information on the basis of 23 Right to Information (RTI) replies, annual reports, media coverage and information received from students. This information shows that 21,500 students had registered for campus placement in IIT in 2024. Out of these, only 13,410 students got a job, while 8,090 students are still looking for a job.

Students without placements on the rise

Of these, 15,830 students got jobs, with an average annual package of Rs 17.1 lakh per annum. At the same time, 4,170 students could not get a job through campus placement.
