During phases I and II of campus placements during the year 2023-24, 1,091 students were placed in 256 companies. Of the 300 pre-placement offers, 235 were accepted.

Companies from Japan, Europe and other countries made 44 international offers. As many as 85 startups made 183 offers. Of the placed students, 43 percent are in the core sector, followed by 20 percent in software and less than 10 percent each in analytics/finance/consulting and data science.

Unlike a coursework-based study, the PhD programme is not time bound and thus their placement timeline may not match with course-based programmes, IIT-M said in a statement.
