The Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, is gearing up for its first ever placement drive to be held in December this year. 30 top firms have registered to conduct campus placement drives so far.The first batch of 111 B.Tech students admitted in 2008-09 for courses in computer science, engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, are now in the final year and will graduate in May 2012.
IIT-H officials say the response to its first placement drive has been encouraging with about 30 top corporate firms registering to conduct campus placement drives so far, with more expected by December. In contrast, a new IIT like IIT-Ropar, which was established along with IIT-H, has managed to attract just 20 companies.
Top firms such as Microsoft Corporation, Finisar, eBay, Bharat Petroleum, L&T, Infosys, Wipro, TCS, and Bharat Petroleum are among those that will be visiting IIT-H. “The placement cell at IITH was established in 2010 with the prime objective of providing career opportunities to the students,” said Prof U.B. Desai, director, IIT-H. “Another batch of M.Techs in six engineering departments and M.Sc. graduates in chemistry will also graduate along with B.Tech students in the summer of 2012. The placement drive will be conducted for all these students simultaneously.” IIT-H has active collaborations with industry and firms like Hyundai Motors, Mercedes-Benz R&D India, HP, CMC, HCL technologies, Intel and Dr Reddy’s Labs, may also consider recruiting from the IIT.
