IIT Kanpur (IIT K) 2022 placement report: CTC, recruiters, and sector data from the official release.
Numbers
Editorial review
Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur's 2022 placement cycle: IIT Kanpur's Students' Placement Office recorded 1,300 job offers with 1,100 accepted (including 156 pre-placement offers) in Phase I of the 2021-22 placement season, including 47 international offers, a 150% rise over the previous year. The longer reading and numbered takeaways below unpack what that means for sector mix, recruiter depth, and how to read average versus median.
Phase I of the 2021-22 season ran the full 15 days (December 1-15, 2021) and closed with 1,300 offers, of which 1,100 were accepted, including 156 pre-placement offers out of 207 extended, an overall acceptance rate of about 84.6%. International offers reached 47, a 150% jump over the 19 recorded the previous year, though they still made up only about 3.6% of the total offer count. The institute reported 49 offers above Rs 1 crore, roughly 3.8% of all offers, alongside a highest package of USD 287,550 from an international recruiter and Rs 1.2 crore domestically.
By the end of Phase I, more than 80% of eligible students had been placed, with undergraduates making up about 69% of those placed and postgraduates the remaining 31%. The top-recruiter list spans technology and finance in roughly equal measure (Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, EXL and Quadeye alongside Goldman Sachs, ICICI Bank and Tiger Analytics), with ride-hailing and e-commerce also represented through OLA and Uber. Figures here cover Phase I only, as published on the institute's own site; a second phase followed in January, and full-season totals were not covered in this release.
Key takeaways
Highest CTC fell 18.4%
Highest CTC fell from ₹1.47 Cr PA in the prior cycle to ₹1.20 Cr PA this year (−18.4%). That is a material move for Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur aspirants reading this report as a signal of typical outcomes, especially for median, which is less skewed by a handful of outlier offers than average or highest CTC.
International offers stayed rare
47 of 1300 offers were international (3.6%). That share is small enough that domestic packages define the typical story. Crore-plus overseas headlines, when they appear, usually sit in this thin tail rather than in the median.
