What the 2025-26 brochure reports for 2024-25
DAU’s Placement Brochure 2025-26 contains a “Placement Highlights 2024-25” panel. It reports 150+ companies, 400+ offers, a highest CTC of ₹53 lakh per annum, median CTC of ₹9.15 lakh per annum, average CTC of ₹37.52 lakh for the top 50 offers and ₹28.65 lakh for the top 100 offers. It also lists a highest internship stipend of ₹1.50 lakh per month and average stipend of ₹40,000. These are the brochure’s reported figures for its stated placement year, not forecasts for a future graduating batch. Placement Brochure 2025-26 · DAU Placements
The averages have a selected-offer denominator: top 50 and top 100 are not the average for all placed students or all graduates. The brochure’s highlight panel combines undergraduate and postgraduate placements. It does not provide a B.Tech-only or individual programme average in this summary, so the figures should not be assigned to ICT, MnC, EVD, CS and AI, ECE-AI, MSc or any single cohort. “Offers” also does not necessarily mean the same number of distinct students; one person can receive multiple offers. The summary panel does not establish the number of eligible students, opt-ins, unique placed students or exclusions behind the median.
For a quick reading, treat ₹53 LPA as the brochure’s highest reported CTC, not a typical result. The ₹37.52 LPA and ₹28.65 LPA values describe selected top-offer groups; the ₹9.15 LPA figure is the brochure’s reported median, but its specific denominator is not shown in that panel. Because these measures describe different parts of an outcome distribution, they cannot be combined into one “expected package.” Ask for the exact cohort-level table before making a programme or institution comparison.
How the placement process is described
The university describes a structured placement and internship system with a published policy, a slotting process and a Placement and Internship Affairs Action Committee (PIAAC), operating alongside the regular disciplinary committee. Its placement page says PIAAC is intended to support fairness and employer engagement. This is DAU’s description of its process, not an independent assessment of its effectiveness or a promise of placement.
The page lists preparation activities including pre-placement tests, group discussions, debates, interview practice, programming, data structures and algorithms, foundational mathematics, oral and written communication, exploration projects, course projects, industry and research talks, and high-quality events. These activities indicate the institution’s stated preparation approach; participation, individual skill development and job outcomes still depend on the student and the opportunities available in a given year.
The placement site provides links to policy, audit reports, recruiter information and the brochure. It also offers placement statistics and separate audit reports under the Indian Placement Reporting Standards. Those materials are the right place to seek cohort-specific counts and definitions. The brochure’s headline highlights are not a substitute for the underlying report if you need an eligible-student denominator or a particular programme’s outcome.
How to compare these outcomes responsibly
When comparing DAU with another university, match the graduating year, degree, cohort and calculation basis. A top-50 average should be compared with another top-50 average only if the selection rules match. A whole-cohort median should be compared with another whole-cohort median. Ask whether CTC includes fixed and variable components, joining bonuses, stock, one-time incentives or non-cash benefits; verify whether stipend figures are monthly, internship duration and cohort-specific. A large maximum can be set by one offer and says little about the result for a typical student.
Ask the placement office or consult the latest official audit table for: students eligible to participate, students who registered or opted in, unique students placed, total offers, higher-study or entrepreneurship counts, programme-level breakdown, salary median and average definitions, reporting period and exclusions. Also ask how internship outcomes are counted. A comparison that omits these denominators may make different placement systems look equivalent when they are not.
DAU’s 2024-25 brochure includes examples of alumni and employers across degrees. Such profiles illustrate possibilities but are not representative data. The previously circulated claims of 95–100% B.Tech placement, ₹57.78 LPA B.Tech highest, ₹19.40 LPA average, ₹18 LPA median, and named recruiter offer values were not substantiated by the reviewed current official highlights and are not repeated. The current public evidence supports the dated aggregate figures above, with the scope limitations stated; it does not support a guaranteed placement rate or an individual salary prediction.
What is known—and what still needs a cohort report
At the time of this 2027-28 edition, the latest brochure captured for this page is titled 2025-26 and labels its highlights 2024-25. DAU’s placement page also links audit reports for 2023-24, but this article does not extract a programme-level statistic from those PDFs. A later report may contain more detailed cohort figures; use the original tables and definitions when it is available rather than carrying the 2024-25 brochure forward as current.
The most accurate summary is therefore limited: the university publishes a placement policy and describes training and committee processes; its 2025-26 brochure reports the 2024-25 aggregate highlights listed above; those figures combine UG and PG and do not establish individual programme outcomes. For an informed decision, request the newest report for the exact degree and graduating cohort you care about, then compare like denominators and compensation definitions. No placement percentage, programme-specific median or future salary is asserted here.
