My knowledge is limited to IIT Guwahati placements 2019-20 Biotechnology as my brother was a part of the same batch. Out of the total 48 students, 37 opted for placements, and 25 were placed. Earlier the placement percentage was 67.6% and now it has risen to 75%. Students got placed in Analytics, SDE, and Graduate Trainee profiles. Those who opted out of placements went for higher studies in core concepts.
I asked another friend about the placement scenario of Biotechnology at IIT Guwahati. She told me that it’s difficult to get employed after graduation. You can grab a good salary package after completing a master's. Internships were also offered in biotech companies or pharma companies. Students were eligible for placements after the 5th semester. A Few students were also selected by Deloitte.
