IIT academic members and graduates continue to significantly impact society in India and beyond the world.

Every year, thousands of students compete for a place in an IIT through the JEE Advanced exam since admission to these prestigious technical universities ensures that they will have a job with a competitive salary package after they graduate. The average package of IITs has been luring students to enroll in engineering programs there, and the JEE exam rivalry has been growing yearly. 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.

Step 2: A corporation may also express interest in hiring students by getting in touch with the T&P Cell of the relevant IIT. To the T&P cell of the IITs of interest, they must write an email.

Step-3: T&P Cell will respond to corporations via email after receiving a completed JAF and pertinent information from the company. Based on the data in the JAF, dates for campus interviews are assigned.

Step-4: Discussions between the companies and the T&P Cell determine an appropriate date for the Pre-Placement Talk (PPT). Students are informed of the PPT date after receiving confirmation from the companies.

Step-5: To conduct PPT, the companies go to IIT campuses.

Step-6: During the placement drive, the businesses may also choose pre-final year students for summer internships if they are interested.

Step-7: Students who are interested in working for a certain company can register online to submit their CVs and resumes for consideration.

Step-8: Prior to the campus visit for the final interviews, companies email the T&P Cell the list of students who have been shortlisted.

Step-9: On the scheduled dates, the companies conduct group discussions, aptitude tests, technical tests, personal interviews, and other placement-related activities on campus.

Step-10: After the selection process is complete, the companies provide the final list of chosen students either immediately or within a short period of time.
