NIT Delhi Placements 2021: Average Package: INR 9.6 LPA & Highest Package: INR 46 LPA

My friend is currently a student at NIT Delhi and as per her, NIT Delhi has an outstanding placement scenario. The highest package recorded for the year 2022 was INR 82.63 lacs which is the highest among other NITs. Surprisingly enough, this package was bagged by a student of EEE department and not the CSE department. Although, the institute did not release official placement statistics, the branch-wise average packages are 

• CSE: INR 18–20 lacs
• ECE: INR 15–18 lacs
• EEE: INR 15–18 lacs

Based on the NIT Delhi NIRF report 2023, the median package offered during NIT Delhi BTech and MTech placements 2022 stood at INR 14.75 LPA and INR 15 LPA, respectively. Out of 163 students, a total of 142 students were placed in the Btech batch whereas 33 out of 56 students were placed in the MTech batch. 

The overall and branch-wise average package offered during NIT Delhi placements 2021 are presented below:

Hope this helps you!

Truth be told, NIT Delhi is mainly known for its BTech program only and its MTech program is relatively new so it lacks credibility. The faculty of M.Tech. CSE is well qualified but has little or no practical experience and the computer labs have limited access to software. Although the overall environment is conducive to studying, academics at NIT Delhi are more of a personal affair. You will have to rely on your own and not on the professors for studies. The college provides the resources necessary for your thesis and project work but you have to work alone. You will also be required to do some lab work because the MTech students are also the lab assistants of juniors, instructing them how to deal with different software languages or software.

M.Tech CSE students of NIT Delhi usually receive offers from IT companies, mostly coding. However, most IT companies don’t allow Mtech students to sit for placements. Only a few allow Mtech CSE students to sit for Pre Placement Talk (PPT) and placement tests. But the M.Tech. students are almost offered the same role and packages as B.Tech. graduate in the same company. Overall, the placement scenario isn't very great, but most students end up with a decent job.

The overall and branch-wise average package offered during NIT Delhi placements 2021 are presented below:

Some of the core companies visiting for CSE and ECE branches are:

Companies visiting for both the branches are 

• Sapient
• Axtria
• Fidelity
• Capgemini
• L&T Construction
• L&T Infotech
• Deloitte

Almost everyone with a decent CGPA were placed by the end of the placement season so you won't need to worry about the placement scenario.

Nowadays, PSUs have started considering GATE ranks, internal exams, and interviews, so the chances of getting placed in the core sector through campus placements are very meager. Only a handful of core companies such as Tata Power, L&T, GE Healthcare, etc. come for recruitment. 

If you are planning to get into the Power Sector, you will have to prepare for the competitive exams. But if your goal is to just get placed even if it’s an IT company, then as long as you have a decent GPA and basic coding skills, you are likely to grab a good offer. That being said, one must consider bigger criteria when choosing college rather than just placements. In 2021 NIT Delhi EEE average package was recorded at INR 8.1 LPA.

So, you don’t have to worry about placements at all as long as you are committed to hard work
