The fact that we have almost doubled the number of PPOs this year shows encouraging outlook for the upcoming placement season,” said Pradeep Kumar Yemula, faculty in-charge (placements), IIT-H.
Simultaneously, the placement office at IIT-H has also started phase-wise internship recruitment drive from 2019-20 academic year. Phase-1 of internships was held in ‘fast-track’ mode during October with phase-2 scheduled to commence from January.
