Are DTU placements comparable to old IITs?

Yes, DTU placements are certainly comparable to old IITs. Last year DTU recorded excellent placement statistics and even average students managed to secure hefty packages. However, comparing DTU placements with old IITs, it’s a no-brainer that old IITs still are leading the game. Here is a comparison based on my observations 

• The top 20–25% of offers received by DTU Students can be compared with a ‘mid-tier’ offer from an old IIT. Some offers are equivalent to a top-tier IIT offer also.
• The subsequent 15–20% offers at DTU can be compared with bottom-tier offers from an old IIT.
• Approximately, 40–45% of the total offers in DTU are comparable with old IITs.

The determining factors for the quality of offers are usually CTC, type (core/non-tech/tech), the brand name of the firm, the role offered, etc.
