Older IITs See Rising Demand for AI Talent Ahead of Placement Season
As the December placement season approaches, older Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are experiencing increased demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and related roles. Companies are offering more pre-placement offers (PPOs) to students with AI, data science, and analytics skills, while traditional software hiring declines. Institutes like IIT Guwahati and IIT Kanpur report emerging AI-focused opportunities, with internships playing a key role in recruitment. However, some firms remain cautious about expanding overall fresher headcount amid this shift.
