BFSI led the batch at 21%
BFSI accounted for 21% of offers, the largest sector share in this 2021 report. The next sector, IT Services, sat at 19%, so the gap between first and second is 2 percentage points. If your target function sits outside this lead sector, treat the headline placement rate as a campus-wide figure rather than a guarantee for your preferred cohort.
127 recruiters, led by Infosys
127 firms participated for 268 offers, about 2.1 offers per recruiter on average. Infosys topped the named list, followed by Accenture, Cognizant, and Virtusa. Offer concentration among a few brand-name firms is common at top campuses; check whether your target employers actually appear in this list rather than assuming brand gravity alone.
Average sits above the median
Average CTC (₹14.05 LPA) sits about ₹1.3 LPA above the median (₹12.72 LPA). That gap usually means a smaller set of higher offers pulled the mean up, so the median is the safer read on a typical package for this 2021 batch.
