The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) have witnessed a more diverse sectoral mix of top recruiters during the final placements for the 2022 batch. This year, the IITs have seen a significant increase in the number of recruiters from sectors such as e-commerce, healthcare, and fintech.
Traditionally, the IITs have been dominated by recruiters from the technology and engineering sectors. However, the rise of new-age industries has led to a more diverse mix of recruiters, with companies such as Amazon, Flipkart, and Byju’s hiring in large numbers.
According to reports, the average salary offered during the final placements has also seen a significant increase, with some companies offering packages in excess of Rs 1 crore.
The IITs have always been considered to be among the most prestigious engineering institutions in India, and their graduates have been highly sought after by top companies around the world. However, the changing job market has led to a shift in the types of companies that are recruiting from these institutions.
The rise of new-age industries such as e-commerce, healthcare, and fintech has created new opportunities for IIT graduates, who are highly skilled in areas such as coding, data analysis, and artificial intelligence.
The increase in the number of companies from these sectors is also expected to have a positive impact on the Indian economy, as it will create new jobs and opportunities for growth.
