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 was the single largest sector at 30.97% of offers (345 of 1,114) in 2016-17, with IT/Software second at 16.52% (184 offers). Finance (11.67%, 130 offers) and Research & Development (10.59%, 118 offers) ran close behind Analytics (10.14%, 113 offers), while Consulting held 7.99% (89 offers).
Of the 1,518 students who actively participated in the 2016-17 placement season, 1,114 were placed, a placement rate of 73.39%, and the 316 organizations that made offers averaged about 3.5 offers each. The average CTC across all offers was Rs 13.38 LPA against an average gross salary of Rs 11.41 LPA, a gap that reflects the value of non-salary components in total compensation.
International offers numbered 67, a little over 6% of the 1,114 offers made, alongside 59 Pre-Placement Offers that season. Sector percentages are computed from the report's own offer counts against the season total of 1,114 offers.
Key takeaways
Engineering & Technology led the batch at 30.97%
Engineering & Technology accounted for 30.97% of offers, or 345 offers, the largest sector share in this 2017 report. The next sector, IT/Software, sat at 16.52% (184 offers), so the gap between first and second is 14.5 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 48% of offers
Engineering & Technology and IT/Software together made up 47.5% of offers, a concentrated recruiter mix. Finance was a distant third at 11.67%. Concentration is not automatically good or bad, but it does mean batch-level averages can mask thinner opportunity in secondary functions.
73.4% of the eligible batch placed
1114 of 1518 eligible students accepted offers through the campus process (73.4%), with 404 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.
67 international offers (6%)
67 of 1114 offers were international (6%). That share is large enough to notice, but still a minority of outcomes. Crore-plus overseas headlines, when they appear, usually sit in this thin tail rather than in the median.
316 recruiters participated
316 firms participated for 1114 offers, about 3.5 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.
