Google U.S. made the highest bid this pre-placement season. It offered a pay-package worth 93 lakh to a student from the institution. Nearly 25 global majors made their presence felt during this period and biggies such as Google U.S, Microsoft, Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Bank, Unilever and Transoceans emerged as the main attractions. IT, computer science, electronics and core engineering departments such as civil, mechanical and electrical emerged as the most sought after areas this pre-placement season.

2,418 students will be attending the placements this year, as compared to 1,900 students the previous year. And in the words of PP Chakraborty, Director, IIT-Kharagpur, "Our students have managed to bag plum jobs even before the placement season started.
