There seems to be a rush to snap up the brightest talent much
before competition heats up among recruiters during final placements, going by
a spike in pre-placement offers across Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs)
that is set to hit an all-time high this year.
It’s early days yet — pre-placement offers (PPOs) continue coming in till November before the start of final placements — but IITs such as Kharagpur, Delhi, Bombay and BHU have already attracted upwards of 100 job offers each, campus officials said. At other IITs, including Patna and Gandhinagar, the PPO numbers are up to 50% higher than the same time last year, they said.

Pre-placement offers — given by companies to students who have completed two-month internship with them — mark a great start to the upcoming placement season, officials said.
“It looks like we will have a good placement season,” said Manu Santhanam, advisor, training and placement, at IIT Madras.
Amarnath Hegde, professor-in-charge of training and placements at IIT Patna, said that after an “overwhelming” response from industry, “we are very optimistic about the hiring trends in 2018-19”.
IIT-BHU, with113 offers so far, has already crossed last year’s
total tally of 101 PPOs. IIT Gandhinagar too has crossed last year’s total
tally with 50% jump in the number of PPOs so far.
