New Delhi, 23 December, 2021: The first phase of placements across the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) concluded last week. Most of the IITs have recorded a 40-45% increase in job offers received in 2021 (as compared to 2020) and the total job offers received have also been comparatively higher.
