IIT Kanpur (IIT K) 2024 placement report: CTC, recruiters, and sector data from the official release.
Numbers
Editorial review
Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur's 2024 placement cycle: IIT Kanpur's Students' Placement Office recorded 989 job offers with 913 students placed (including PPOs) in Phase I of the 2023-24 placement season, including 22 international offers and an average salary of Rs 26.27 LPA; Core led sector share at 33%. 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 2023-24 season concluded on December 15, 2023, with 989 offers extended and 913 students placed once PPO holders are included, an offers-to-placed ratio of about 92.3%, close to the acceptance rate seen the following season. International offers came to 22, roughly 2.2% of the total offer count, a smaller share than in the two preceding seasons. The average salary across Phase I offers was reported at Rs 26.27 LPA.
The top-recruiter list leans toward technology and semiconductor firms (Microsoft, Fujitsu, Samsung, Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, Intel, NVIDIA), with consulting and BFSI represented through McKinsey, Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank, plus PSU and industrial participation from Reliance. Figures here cover Phase I only, as published on the institute's own site; no highest, median, or sector-wise breakdown was disclosed in this release, and a second phase followed in mid-January 2024.
The sector split is from IIT Kanpur's Annual Report 2023-24 (Figure 3, sector-wise placement statistics for the placement season 2023-24) and covers the whole season, not only Phase I; the report states Core at 33% and Coding and Software firms together at 28% (20% Coding plus 8% Software in the chart). The chart gives percentages only, with no offer counts. The highlights drawn from the Annual Report are likewise full-season figures (Phase II ran from January to mid-July 2024), so they are larger than the Phase I numbers in the headline stats. The Annual Report does not state a highest CTC for 2023-24, and the Phase I press release does not either.
Key takeaways
Core led the batch at 33%
Core accounted for 33% of offers, the largest sector share in this 2024 report. The next sector, Non-Core, sat at 25%, so the gap between first and second is 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 58% of offers
Core and Non-Core together made up 58% of offers, a concentrated recruiter mix. Coding was a distant third at 20%. Concentration is not automatically good or bad, but it does mean batch-level averages can mask thinner opportunity in secondary functions.
International offers stayed rare
22 of 989 offers were international (2.2%). 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.
Full season: 220 pre-placement offers from more than 66 companies
Full season: 220 pre-placement offers from more than 66 companies, about 6% more than the previous year
