Engineering & Technology led the batch at 32.21%
Engineering & Technology accounted for 32.21% of offers, or 382 offers, the largest sector share in this 2019 report. The next sector, IT/Software, sat at 15.68% (186 offers), so the gap between first and second is 16.5 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 47.9% of offers, a concentrated recruiter mix. Analytics was a distant third at 14.42%. Concentration is not automatically good or bad, but it does mean batch-level averages can mask thinner opportunity in secondary functions.
84.5% of the eligible batch placed
1186 of 1404 eligible students accepted offers through the campus process (84.5%), with 218 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.
108 international offers (9.1%)
108 of 1186 offers were international (9.1%). 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.
