**Number of PPOs** = 120<br>
**Number of Offers made (Including PPOs)** = 1021<br>
**Number of students accepting the offers (including PPOs)** = 937<br>
**Number of Companies that recruited** = 223<br>
**Number of Companies that recruited** = 279<br>
This year, in total **1021** offers were made on campus across **UG and PG** including **120 PPOs** secured by the students after their pre-final year internships. Like every year, the graphs are high peaking for **circuital branches (EE, CSE, ECE)** in terms of percentage placed as well as the pay packages. **93.52%** of students were placed in the **CSE Department** and **88.85%** in the **ECE Department** while the **Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department (72.58%)** and **Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Department (78.53)** also show impressive figures.

**223** companies visited the campus offering jobs across various profiles. If we consider different profiles or a PPO offer by the same company as an individual count (For Eg: A single company Goldman Sachs offering jobs as Data Analyst, Software Developer and PPO is counted as 3) this figure then equals to **279**
[1] The data on Channel I also contains duplicates which makes the count 304 instead of 279.

The total number of **unique** companies (some of which give offers in multiple profiles) that recruited from the campus is **223**.
Note: The data on Channeli also contains duplicates which makes the count 304.

This year, IIT Roorkee witnessed **67** companies recruit in **Software Development** whereas for the students interested in **Data Science** (**7** Companies) and **Product Design and Management** (**8** Companies) were disappointed with the lack of opportunities. **68** companies recruited the **Core** enthusiasts this season while **47** companies offered **Pre-Placement Offers**. (Refer the pie chart for profile wise company distribution).

The next infographic gives an insight into the kinds of profile offered by the companies and indicates the popularity of Technical and Core profiles with less space for Data Sciences, Consult and Finance.

Students grind day and night throughout their college lives to get that coveted Day 1/2/3 jobs that usually guarantees fat pay cheques and fancy profiles. A high paying job is something that everyone fancies even before coming to the campus. This year the overall average CTC turned out to be **14.727 Lakh INR. Microsoft Redmond** and **Uber International** offered the highest paying packages of **INR 1.5 crores** and **INR 1.20 Crores** respectively. App Dynamics, Squarepoint Capital, Uber India, Microsoft, JP Morgan, Mercari were among the other high payers with packages **above 30 Lakh INR**.
Companies that come to hire for software profiles pay a very substantial remuneration (average of **INR 23.15 Lakhs**) and are awarded an earlier recruitment day whereas core engineering profiles offering an average CTC of **INR 10.19 Lakhs**, have to settle for a later date. Conversely, providing a later slots/date to finance or consult profiles leads to companies reducing their pay figures. This potentially creates a bias which makes students gravitate towards software roles, as seen in the heavy coding culture on campus. The following graphs give detailed information about the CTCs:

## Bridging The Gap
The Placements 2018-19 fared well for the students with a total of **937** students **accepting** the offers, though a major bias towards software profiles has left many students dissatisfied. The lack of diversity and variety of job profiles during placement season has been pointed out since long, TPO claims that as compared to last year, this time many new companies visited for Finance (**8 companies**), Quantitative Research and Analyst roles (**3 companies**), but still, the number of students placed in these profiles are very low (**33 and 8 respectively**). Google, JP Morgan, AQR Capital, Appdynamics, Sprinklr, Squarepoint Capital, Udaan and Fractal Analytics were a few top names that recruited for the first time from our campus.

The campus culture lets the students explore a wide range of career options and provide space to every individual to evolve in his own way. Apart from coding and software development, the enthusiasm for Finance, Consultancy, Operations, Data Science, Marketing, UX/UI Design, Product Management and Design profiles has increased significantly. But at the approach of the placement season, the lack of companies in the desired sector and proper profiles lead to a major disappointment (See the Profile-Wise Companies Distribution Graph and Profile-Wise Students Placed Graph).

With the establishment of specialised campus groups like Design Studio, Finance Club and Data Science Group, it is quite clear that the student community is striving to build a decadent culture in various fields. The TPO will have the full support of the student community in approaching reputed names in these fields and hence it's prudent to make attempts at fostering better and healthier relations with companies that still give Roorkee a cold shoulder.
Indubitably, the placements are an important stepping stone for the next phase of a student’s life. Despite all the factors, one must also understand that the entire process is also has a degree of subjectivity. On D-Day, you could lose your nerve in front of the recruiter, or something on your resume might interest someone from the panel, or, you might have to miss out on an interview because your slots clash, or you might even get a chance to give a walk-in interview. If you look at the bigger picture, a job offer might seem like a metric to measure how successful your college life has been, it isn’t the only mark of your skills and abilities.

There are many things the junta needs to know about the workings of the TPO, like the loopholes in the current system and the problems students face during the raucous of placements and internships. Watch Out will address this need for information dissemination through an article on the TPO soon and we’ll also try to resolve all the issues that we faced due to lack of data for the coming years.
Until then, we hope this serves as a good information for the next batch of students heading towards placement season.
