IIT Bombay (IIT B) 2016 placement report: CTC, recruiters, and sector data from the official release.
Numbers
Editorial review
Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay's 2016 placement cycle: 1,125 of 1,628 registered students were placed (about 69.1%), across 1,143 offers from 308 recruiting organizations during the 2015-16 placement season; Engineering & Technology led sector share at 32.46%. 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 led all sectors with 32.46% of offers (371 of 1,143) in 2015-16, followed by IT/Software at 23.62% (270 offers), together accounting for more than half the season's offers. Finance (9.89%, 113 offers) and Consulting (9.19%, 105 offers) were closely matched for third place, with Analytics (7.96%, 91 offers) and Research & Development (7.70%, 88 offers) not far behind.
Services and Public Sector Undertaking roles were the smallest categories, together under 3% of offers. The 1,628 students registered for the 2015-16 season is the total explicitly stated by the report; summing the program-wise placed figures, including 2 M.Phil and 18 PhD students placed outside the main program table, gives 1,125 students placed, a rate of about 69.1% against registered students, since the report does not separately publish a total for actively participating students that year.
The 308 organizations that made offers extended 1,143 of them, an average of roughly 3.7 offers per recruiter. No single highest, average or median CTC figure is given, only salary-band offer counts, with 435 of the 1,143 offers falling above Rs 11 LPA, the largest single band. Sector percentages are computed from the report's own offer counts against the season total of 1,143.
Key takeaways
Engineering & Technology led the batch at 32.46%
Engineering & Technology accounted for 32.46% of offers, or 371 offers, the largest sector share in this 2016 report. The next sector, IT/Software, sat at 23.62% (270 offers), so the gap between first and second is 8.8 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 56% of offers
Engineering & Technology and IT/Software together made up 56.1% of offers, a concentrated recruiter mix. Finance was a distant third at 9.89%. Concentration is not automatically good or bad, but it does mean batch-level averages can mask thinner opportunity in secondary functions.
69.1% of the eligible batch placed
1125 of 1628 eligible students accepted offers through the campus process (69.1%), with 503 opting out or taking paths outside the reported pool. High conversion is the headline; the more useful follow-up is whether your preferred sector and role type showed up in the sector split and recruiter list below.
308 recruiters participated
308 firms participated for 1143 offers, about 3.7 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.
