Placements: Placements here are average. Many companies come here as it's a tier-one college. The other side is that the number of companies visiting the college is slightly decreasing due to the recession and AI evolution. Otherwise, placements here are good in tech as well as in non-tech roles.
Placements: A batch of 17 students graduated in 2026. This was the first batch of energy engineering to pass out from IITG. I have heard placements of a few of them. I'm expecting around 10-12 students to get placed. The highest package might be around 40 LPA, and the average might be 15 LPA.
Placements: Placements at IIT Guwahati are excellent, especially in the tech field, with high placement rates and strong average packages, generally 30 LPA. Top companies regularly visit the campus. After completing the course, if I do not get placed on campus, which is hardly possible, I'll look for other off-campus placements.
Placements: Almost all students from our course were placed in different MNCs. The highest package offered in our course was Rs. 1.02 crores. The average package was around 22 LPA. The lowest package was 10 LPA. Top recruiting companies were Google, Microsoft, Oracle, etc.
Placements: Placements are good in the institute. If you want a job, then you will definitely get it without any doubt. If you want an internship, then you will get it too. You would also get to go to a foreign conference during your stay at IIT. Students are placed in different pharmaceutical industries, chemical industries, or in government or private institutions as lecturers.
Placements: The overall placement percent is 62 percent and for B.Tech in mathematics and computing it is more than 90 percent.
