Every year, IIT placements for final-year engineering students start in December. Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs), internships, and final placements all occur throughout the placement season. IIT postings include participation from both domestic and foreign recruiters. Every year, the highest compensation that has been offered throughout the placement process at each IIT has gone up. Companies seek to hire students who have good abilities and topic understanding.

About IITs- Indian Institute of Technology 

The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are public technical universities controlled by the Indian government and spread throughout the country. The Government of India's Ministry of Education is the owner of them. The Institutes of Technology Act, of 1961, established them as Institutes of National Importance and established their authority, accountability, and governance framework as the nation's top technological institutions, govern them. In accordance with the Institutes of Technology Act of 1961, there are currently 23 IITs. Each IIT is independent and connected to the others via an inter-institutional council (IIT Council), which is in charge of managing its operations. The IIT Council is officially presided over by the Indian Minister of Education. The Viceroy's Executive Council's Sir Jogendra Singh established a committee tasked with considering the establishment of Higher Technical Institutions for India's post-war industrial development in 1946, which is almost where the history of the IIT system begins. The development of these schools, modeled after the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), with connected secondary institutions, was suggested by the 22-member committee, which Nalini Ranjan Sarkar led.

In May 1950, the first Indian Institute of Technology was established in Kharagpur, West Bengal, on the site of the Hijli Detention Camp.

Prior to Maulana Abul Kalam Azad's official opening of the institute on August 18, 1951, the name "Indian Institute of Technology" was chosen. The Indian Institute of Technology (Kharagpur) Act, which designated it as an Institute of National Importance, was passed by the Indian Parliament on September 15, 1956.
