Indian Institute of Technology, Madras: 2015 Placement Report
IIT Madras (IIT M) 2015 placement report: CTC, recruiters, and sector data from the official release.
Numbers
Editorial review
Indian Institute of Technology, Madras's 2015 placement cycle: 942 of 1,368 registered students accepted offers (including pre-placement offers) from 250 companies in IIT Madras's 2014-15 placement season, with Computer Science and Engineering graduates topping out at Rs 80.29 lakh. The longer reading and numbered takeaways below unpack what that means for sector mix, recruiter depth, and how to read average versus median.
IIT Madras's own 2014-15 statistics report puts registered students at 1,368 against 899 placed through regular offers, plus 43 accepted pre-placement offers, for a total of 942 students placed, worked out here to a 68.9% placement rate against the registered pool. Measured differently, against the 1,295 students who did not withdraw from the process, the institute's own bulletin printed a 72.74% figure, a reminder that placement rates depend heavily on which denominator is used. Against 250 recruiting companies and 1,019 total offers, that is roughly 4.1 offers per recruiting company for the season. Computer Science and Engineering delivered both the highest package on campus, Rs 80.29 lakh, and one of the strongest branch placement rates at 93.8%, well ahead of smaller departments such as Mathematics and Chemistry that placed under a quarter of their registered students that year. Electrical Engineering was the largest placed branch by sheer headcount, 147 students placed out of 182 registered. The recruiter list draws on the source's per-department offer tables rather than a single ranked list, so the names above reflect companies that visited campus that season rather than a count-ranked "top" tier. Scope note: these figures cover the 2014-15 placement season only, as reported by the institute's own Placement & Internship Office, and do not include students who opted out for entrepreneurship, higher studies, or off-campus offers.

942 of 1368 eligible students accepted offers through the campus process (68.9%), with 426 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.
250 recruiters, led by Microsoft
250 firms participated for 1019 offers, about 4.1 offers per recruiter on average. Microsoft topped the named list, followed by Google, Amazon, and Goldman Sachs. 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.
