Considering the placement report of 2017 for IIT, Guwahati in biotechnology branch, out of the 38 students that enrolled for placements, 27 got placed. But these placements were mostly for data analytics, banking, marketing and other such companies due to the lack of core biotechnology companies visiting the campus. IIT, Guwahati has dedicated placement and training cell which manages to attract a lot of companies but they are mostly IT companies. So students who want to stay in the field of biotechnology, usually take up masters in the same college to increase the chances of getting into core biotech company. The others who enrolled for placements in the year 2017 had an average placement package of Rs 9.8 lakhs in some or the other IT firms, provided you have some knowledge in the respective field. This brings the total batch placement percentage of IIT, Guwahati biotech branch in 2017 to 80%, with the highest placement package being Rs 25 lakhs. I hope this answers your question.
