How this report was built
Every number comes from the NIRF data PDF that each institution submitted for its B.Tech (UG 4-year) programme, 2025 edition. We take the newest graduating batch for the main table and the oldest of the three batches for the trend. Placement rate is students placed divided by students who graduated in the minimum time. Rank is the NIRF Engineering rank or band for that edition.

How to read these numbers
The median is the middle salary of students who were placed, so half earned more and half less. Students who chose higher studies or skipped placements are not in it. Computer science offers usually sit above the college median, so look at your own branch. A small college with a high placement rate can suit you better than a big name where fewer students are placed.
Your plan from 2026 to 2031
2026-27: choosing and starting. Use the table to shortlist colleges, then compare your own branch, fees and city. In the first year, build strong maths and one programming language.
2027-28: second year. Pick a direction (development, data, cloud, testing) and finish two small projects. Start a public GitHub profile.
2028-29: third year. Do at least one internship and one larger project. Clear every backlog, because most companies allow none at the test.
2029-30: placement year. Practise aptitude and coding rounds, keep your CGPA above the usual 60% cut-off and apply off-campus as well as on campus.
2030-31: first job. Judge your first offer by the skills it builds, not only the package. The median salary in this report is a starting point, not a ceiling.
