Placement % against Intake | 73.64% | 75.92% | 78.66% |
Average CTC (₹ LPA) | 11.24 | 20.05 | 17.65 |
Electrical Engineering demonstrates strong placement stability across IITs and NITs, with nearly three-fourths of total intake securing jobs. While IITs command significantly higher average salaries, NITs maintain comparable placement efficiency. The combined average CTC of ₹17.65 LPA highlights Electrical Engineering’s strong relative prospects and sustained industry demand.

B.Tech in Electrical Engineering offers a great opportunity for those with high ranks (upto 51,000) to pursue this programme in NITs. It also provides placement opportunities with flexible career outcomes across India’s engineering ecosystem. The important thing to remember is that admission in NITs should not be the only criteria. Using the rank to find a good combination of institute, branch and positive placement outcome is also important.
This is possible for students who look at the data and then make a choice towards stronger placement outcomes and long-term career growth.
