Students at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras have received 182 pre-placement offers (PPOs) this year as compared to 170 PPOs in the last placement season. Companies take students as interns for a brief time lasting over a month following which they make job offers also called PPOs to these students. At IITs, students receive job offers as part of PPOs and direct recruitment by companies also called the final placements. The Phase I of campus placements is scheduled to commence on 1st December 2020 for the academic year 2020-21. Like the final placement this year which would be held virtually, even the internship drive was completely held online for the first time. “The sustained increase in the number of PPOs this year is a clear reflection of the academic quality of IIT Madras and its students. I am optimistic that we would be able to carry forward this momentum and our students would obtain the best possible job offers in Phase-1 placements," said professor CS Shankar Ram, Advisor (Training and Placement), IIT Madras.On the first day of the internship drive (30th August 2020), 17 companies participated virtually and made 140 Internship offers in comparison to 147 internship offers made in the preceding year. IT companies contributed the maximum to the PPOs (46%) followed by core and R&D (29%), analytic, consulting and finance (19%) and FMCG (6%).
