Sources reviewed: AmbitionBox, Glassdoor, Indeed, Express Computer and Uncodemy placement records. Reviewed: October 2026. These sources each handle salary data in their own way, with some based on employee submissions and others on job postings or published reporting, which is why we weigh them against one another instead of relying on a lone figure. The ranges are rounded into bands because real offers depend on skills, interview outcomes, employer budgets and negotiation. Learners are encouraged to treat the table as a tool for setting sensible expectations and anticipating how pay may grow.
