IIIT-H Placements

Director's Message

IIIT Hyderabad is a very unique institution -- it is research-driven, organized as research centers rather than as departments, interdisciplinary research and education is a prime mover in its academic operations. As a result, our students are trained to be innovative and very hands-on, while having strong conceptual groundings in various aspects of the latest technologies. This distinction of our students is highly appreciated by the industry and other universities as the students excel after joining them. We are blessed to have this culture of innovation, research-orientation, rigor, and hands-on education, and I invite all potential recruiters to select their future employees from IIIT Hyderabad, and I am sure that like their predecessors, the future graduates will also excel in their roles exceeding all expectations. Prof. Sandeep K. Shukla, Director

Why IIIT-H Students?

Students undergo thorough training in the theoretical and practical aspects of various areas of computer science and information technology, and acquire proficiency in a wide range of the latest software and hardware technologies.

Students of every successive batch have won accolades at a host of national and international level programming contests, proving that they rank among the best in the country.

IIIT, Hyderabad is one of the few engineering schools in the country to have a large number of R&D collaborations with the domestic industry, and most research linkages with the leading technology universities overseas.

These companies straight away offer our students the much coveted R&D jobs soon after they join, while such positions are earned by proven performance after the mandatory one-or-two-year probationary period of work for students of other prestigious technology institutes in the country. This is a testimony to the research orientation and research abilities of our students.

There are a host of companies that conducted a realistic analysis of the institute’s unique research capabilities and placed students from the institute a notch above those of IITs.

Many of our students, despite being offered admission at IIT(s), preferred to study at IIIT-H, keeping in view the overwhelming benefits of studying here: access to world class research faculty and abundance of research opportunities at the undergraduate level too, which is uncommon even at some of the most prestigious technology institutes in the country.

The faculty and students at IIIT, Hyderabad publish probably the largest number of research papers in the IT, computer science and related areas, in the country, each year.

IIIT, Hyderabad is probably the only institute in the country to have a strong research component built into the undergraduate curricula. As a result, students here do the largest number of research projects, and thus bring to employers deep research orientation and innovative mindset.

As part of academic projects, some students developed breakthrough technologies such as text to speech engine, data cube support for MySQL, PDA applications for rural use, etc. Many applications designed and developed by students are under implementation at various departments and research centers of the institute.
