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.
