STARTUP HIRING ACTIVITY on campuses is seeing a marked revival this year. Early placement data show a 25-30% jump in recruiters across top engineering and management institutes for the Class of 2026. Placement coordinators at older IITs say dozens of startups have already signed up for the first phase of placements.

Recruiters estimate that about 40-60 startups are expected to collectively hire from these campuses this year, a broader employer lineup compared to the previous two cycles.
