Computer Science And Engineering: Jobs Data

How well do Computer Science Engineering students do across colleges? Careers360 analysed the placement performance of one batch of BTech CSE students who graduated from the top engineering colleges, as ranked by the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) in 2024. Data obtained through an RTI application shows that CSE departments across institutions routinely posted the highest – or close to the highest – placement rates in the 2023-24 placement season. The highest of 98 per cent of the registered CSE students secured a job at IIT Jodhpur. With 51.67% per cent, the lowest placement percentage was of IIT Bhilai.

Three top IITs - Delhi, Kanpur and Kharagpur did not share any information about the total students enrolled and so have been omitted from the list of analysis in the graph below. It is based on 2020-21 placement data.

BTech CSE Placement Rates

Just like the electrical department of top engineering colleges across India, the CSE department too had a placement better than the overall placement of each institute.

IIT Madras is the top engineering college as ranked in NIRF 2021, yet its CSE placement percentage was one of the lowest. The only ones to place all registered students were IIT Ropar and two NITs [Surathkal and Calicut].

Out of the 44 students enrolled at IIT Madras, CSE department, 32 students sat for the placement programme in 2020-21 and only 26 CSE students were offered placements.

As per the data shared via the RTI application, IIT ISM Dhanbad had three students more registered for placement than the total enrolled students. This could be due to lateral entry however, there was no clarity in the RTI so, we have used the information as it was provided.

Computer, Software Engineering: Average Salary

The CSE branch commanded some of the highest salaries and was instrumental in raising the average salary for each of the institutions.

The present analysis does not include salary details from IIT Delhi, IIT Kharagpur and IIT Roorkee as their RTI responses did not include this data.

CSE departments at some colleges show more than 100 per cent better salary packages than the overall salary package.
