Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay: 2015 Placement Report
IIT Bombay (IIT B) 2015 placement report: CTC, recruiters, and sector data from the official release.
Editorial review
Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay's 2015 placement cycle: 274 of 310 participating organizations made 1,118 job offers to IIT Bombay students during the 2014-15 placement season, out of 1,675 students registered for campus placements; Engineering & Technology led sector share at 34.08%. The longer reading and numbered takeaways below unpack what that means for sector mix, recruiter depth, and how to read average versus median.
Engineering & Technology drew the largest share of offers at 34.08% (381 of 1,118) in 2014-15, more than double the next-largest sector, Computer Science/Software/IT at 17.80% (199 offers). Analytics (13.86%, 155 offers) and Consulting (9.57%, 107 offers) again formed a solid second tier, with Finance close behind at 9.48% (106 offers).
FMCG and Public Sector/Government roles were marginal, together making up under 1.5% of all offers. Of the 310 organizations that took part in the 2014-15 season, 274 went on to make at least one offer, extending 1,118 offers between them, an average of roughly 4.1 offers per recruiting organization.
A total of 1,675 students registered for campus placements that year, the largest cohort to that date, though the source does not provide a single combined count of students placed or an average, median or highest CTC, only salary-band tables (for example, 365 of the 1,118 offers were above Rs 11 LPA). Sector percentages are computed directly from the report's own offer counts against the total of 1,118 offers.
Key takeaways
Engineering & Technology led the batch at 34.08%
Engineering & Technology accounted for 34.08% of offers, or 381 offers, the largest sector share in this 2015 report. The next sector, Computer Science/Software/IT, sat at 17.8% (199 offers), so the gap between first and second is 16.3 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.
Top two sectors took 52% of offers
Engineering & Technology and Computer Science/Software/IT together made up 51.9% of offers, a concentrated recruiter mix. Analytics was a distant third at 13.86%. Concentration is not automatically good or bad, but it does mean batch-level averages can mask thinner opportunity in secondary functions.
274 recruiters participated
274 firms participated for 1118 offers, about 4.1 offers per recruiter on average. 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.
