IIT Kanpur students get 672 offers on Day 1 — highest ever
IIT Kanpur's 2025-26 placement season began with a record 672 job offers on Day 1, a 16% increase from the previous year. This surge, with 627 students securing offers, was significantly boosted by a 27% rise in pre-placement offers, totaling 253. Nine students also received international offers.
More than 20 firms banned from IIT placements after offer cancellations
India's top IITs have banned over 20 companies from this year's placement drives. These firms had previously withdrawn job offers made to students. This action disrupted career plans and affected student well-being. The ban applies to companies that rescinded offers across multiple IITs. These companies can still hire students through off-campus placements. IITs are also encouraging more start-up participation.
