IIT Placement Season Sets New Records | Vantage with Palki Sharma

The 2025 placement season at India’s premier engineering institutes has launched with a bang: IIT Kanpur alone received a record‑breaking 672 job offers on Day 1, 16% more than last year. Over 500 students were placed immediately, including roles in software, analytics, and core engineering, with global giants like Airbus, BlackRock and Qualcomm among the top recruiters. Meanwhile, a lucrative ₹1.48 crore offer at IIT Bombay signals rising demand for AI and data‑science professionals. As layoffs continue in the broader tech sector, IIT graduates are proving that talent still commands opportunity — across core, software, and emerging tech domains.
