Core engineering was the focus this year and close to 400 offers were made by 85 companies in the sector.

Among the top recruiters in core were Coal India, CartHero, Cypress Semiconductor, Innoplexus, John Deere, OLA, Mentor Graphics, Reliance Industries and TATA Steel, all making offers in double digits.

34 start-ups also made a beeline at the premier engineering institute making 138 offers.

IITs have already decided not to reveal any pay package figures from this placement season following complaints of peer and parental pressure on students.
