Dr Anishya Obhrai Madan, Head, Office of Career Services, IIT Delhi in a statement said: “We wish to thank and acknowledge all participating recruiting organizations for reposing their faith in our students. We welcomed recruiters hiring across domains. Companies from the Core Sector and Analytics domains have recruited in larger numbers this year. We look forward to this positive hiring trend continuing for the rest of the season”.
This year, like previous years; the entire interview process was conducted in a single slot each day to facilitate the right fitment both for students and recruiting organisations. This helps provide ample time for recruiters to make selection judgments leading to better hiring decisions. Company visits are scheduled to ensure a good sectoral mix on each recruiting day during December. The entire process was conducted seamlessly with positive feedback from recruiters on the conduct of the process.
