IIT Delhi students bagged over 400 placement offers including pre-placement offers (PPOs) highest in past 5 years by the end of the first day of the placement season on December 1. Many students have also bagged multiple placement offers.

 

"Around 180 PPOs have been received as of now and 7 students have opted for deferred placements facility of the institute. Deferred placements facility is available to students who wish to set up a start-up post their graduation, the institute said in a statement.

The students choosing the deferred placement option can avail placement services once within 2 years after availing this option up to 2023-24.
