Students have also received more than 35 international offers from companies across multiple geographies, including Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, the UAE and the United Kingdom, underscoring continued global demand for IIT Delhi talent.
Commenting on the placement progress, Naresh V Datla, professor-in-charge of the Office of Career Services (OCS) at IIT Delhi, said the institute had witnessed a “strong and encouraging” season despite broader uncertainties in the hiring market. “The consistent performance of our students reflects their academic rigour, adaptability and readiness for industry challenges,” he said, thanking recruiting partners for their continued engagement.
Suresh Neelakantan, co-professor-in-charge of OCS, said the institute was expanding collaborations with a wider set of recruiters and roles. “We expect more companies to participate in the upcoming phase of the placement season to support our students’ job aspirations,” he said.
The placement season for the academic year 2025–26 will continue until the end of May, with the Office of Career Services set to host additional recruiters in the coming months, the institute said.
From purpose-driven work and narrative-rich brand films to AI-enabled ideas and creator-led collaborations, the awards reflect the full spectrum of modern creativity.
