There is the same trend in international offers this year too when compared to last year. For the current placement year 2020-21, we have received 30 international offers (as on day) from 08 companies across 2 countries (i.e. Japan & Taiwan). More international offers are expected in phase 2.

In the current placement year 2020-21, for circuit branches we have crossed more than 75% of placement during Phase-I. Most of the offers so far are from the IT/ITES sector, with few in core sector as well.
