IIT Delhi Placement Procedure / IIT Placement scenario

Normally in all IIT's the procedure is same. First of all we need register in our training and placement portal if we intend to sit for placements. Then we are asked to make our resume in the portal. Then a resume verification step is done by the authorities to check that there is nothing fake in your resume. In case if you are found guilty then you might be debarred from placements. Once this step is done, normally from September Mid companies start coming to the campus for their coding rounds. The coding rounds are held from September Mid to November 30th. No tests are carried out during class timings, IIT's are too much strict about academics. All tests are held after classes, i.e. 6pm onwards and on holidays. There is a secret group in facebook, inter iit/nit/iiit, all past years questions are there in that group. Just solve all of them that's it. Questions will be getting repeated for sure. 90% take their test on hackerrank platform, some on hackerearth, amazon and microsoft have shifted to mettl platform, samsung has it's own platform, google on cocubes, directi on interviewbit.

If your coding round goes well then you are shortlisted for the Interviews. The shortlist results generally comes out after November 15th. The Interviews are scheduled from December 1st to 15th. December 1st is the famous so called Day 1, then comes Day 2 and so on. Each Day has 2 slots. Slot 1 and Slot 2. Slot 1 is from 8am to 2pm. Results come out at around 3pm. Slot 2 is from 4pm to 10pm. Results come out at around 11pm. There are some policies and rules if a company doesn't make a choice within the given time span. In that case the students gets choice to select between multiple offers on the next slot. Once a offer is made, regardless of either you accept or reject you are out of the placement procedure. So the TNP guarantees an offer but not a placement !!!

Each company gets around 1-2 hours per candidate to do the interviews. So it's a very hectic procedure for the students. Really stressed out things happen in the mean while. Running from here to there. It becomes a complete fish market where you are the fish !!! People have come to buy you at the best. All the CS students get placed within the first 4-5 days. If any students still remains unoffered after December 15 then a second round of placement activities start from January mid to January end. The companies in each slot are decided by the TNP members, faculties and students. Lot of factors like compensation offered, student preference, past relationship with IIT and other IIT's are taken care of and then slots are alloted based on these parameter. You have to set your preferences before the start of the slot. If you forget then system will randomly set your preference and you have to abide by that.

Lastly it's really easier to get placed here at IIT. Just few hours of Interviews and you are done. Getting a job offcampus is really difficult and time taking. So if you ever get a chance then just go for it guys !!! Good Luck !!!
