IITs bring in phone a friend to help students during placements

Live Mint  

Every year, dozens of engineering wiz kids are snapped up at eye-popping salaries from the Indian Institutes of Technology. IIT Guwahati's Centre for Career Development is conducting “knowledge and experience sharing sessions from students who have received job offers," a spokesperson said. "We are more approachable for the students and can be reached out in hostels and other common areas," said a student council member from IIT Delhi, adding within a few days of launching the Call A Friend programme, more than 50 students signed up, and over 80 students who found placements are acting as mentors. An IIT Kanpur student from the batch of 2025 said that since August-September, the college's career and counselling team has trained students in mock interviews. In the first round of IIT placements, IIT Kharagpur received over 800 job offers, with 13 international offers and nine students securing packages exceeding ₹1 crore, the institute said on 2 December.
