Placement drives 2026

Every major India hiring drive, and whether you clear it

39 campus and off-campus drives with the CGPA, backlog, gap and branch criteria for each, and a note on whether the company published the figure or prep sites report it.

What the tags mean. Aging: last checked more than 138 days ago. Verify: more than 210 days. Archived: more than 300 days with no re-check. These tags are worked out as of the last site update.

Mass recruiters14

High-volume IT-services drives that hire thousands of freshers every cycle. The most forgiving cutoffs and the widest branch lists, so this is where most students clear the gate.
