Latest NIRF-reported outcomes
The newest IIIT Delhi placement cohort in the institute’s NIRF 2026 Engineering submission is the graduating class of 2024-25. The report separates four-year undergraduate and two-year postgraduate programmes. For the UG group, it records 482 students graduating in the minimum stipulated time, 450 placed, a median salary of ₹18,00,000 and 32 selected for higher studies. For the PG group, it records 202 graduates, 181 placed, a median salary of ₹17,00,000 and eight selected for higher studies.
These are institute-submitted figures in the Ministry of Education’s NIRF Engineering disclosure. They describe a reporting year and programme-duration group, not a promise of a future result or an outcome for each individual degree. The report calls the amount a median salary of placed graduates; it does not give a branch-wise salary distribution in this table. See the official IIIT Delhi NIRF 2026 submission for the source rows.
Four-year undergraduate outcomes
The number placed and median salary should be read with the graduates in that same row. The NIRF form also contains first-year intake and admission columns, but those are different years and different measures. For example, the 2024-25 outcome row corresponds to the 2021-22 first-year intake field; it does not mean 482 students entered in 2024-25. The figures are aggregate for the four-year UG category, not a separate CSE, ECE or other programme result.
Across the three reported years, the median was ₹18,50,000 in 2022-23 and ₹18,00,000 in each of the next two rows. The source does not show an average salary or highest offer in this table, so these medians should not be described as average packages.
Two-year postgraduate outcomes
These rows are for the two-year PG category in the NIRF disclosure. They should not be mixed with the UG counts or used to infer a result for one specific master’s programme. The latest row reports 181 placements among 202 students graduating in minimum time and a median salary of ₹17,00,000. The earlier rows are useful for context, but their medians differ by cohort and should remain attached to their stated graduation year.
The NIRF submission is a standardized institution-level disclosure. It does not identify the individual student’s role, work location, employer, fixed-versus-variable compensation, or whether a particular student accepted an offer. For those details, consult a current official placement report only if it publishes comparable definitions and cohort scope.
How to read the placement figures
“Graduated in minimum stipulated time” is the denominator presented beside the number placed in this NIRF table. It is not the same as the first-year intake, all enrolled students, or students eligible for campus recruitment. The higher-studies count is a separate outcome and should not be added to the placed count to calculate a placement rate. The submission does not explain in this table whether any student appears in both groups.
Median salary is the middle value among the placed graduates under the reporting definition, not the average of all offers and not the highest package. A cohort median cannot describe every student’s result. This page therefore keeps the source’s counts and salary measure intact and does not convert them into a claim that all graduates were placed. If a newer placement brochure publishes different metrics, compare only rows that use the same degree group, graduation year, denominator and salary definition.
Figures the source does not establish
The NIRF Engineering table used here does not break these outcomes down by BTech branch, MTech programme, gender, campus role or recruiting company. It also does not provide an average package, highest package, percentage of the entire cohort placed, internship conversion rate or a count of offers per student in the cited rows. No value for those measures is inferred from the four fields it does report.
A separate placement-cell page may carry newer batch updates, but its live content was not captured for this article. The source-backed table above is therefore intentionally limited to NIRF’s 2022-23 through 2024-25 graduation cohorts. For a later report, check the graduating year, programme grouping, number graduating, number placed and the statistic’s definition before comparing it with these rows.
Using this information when choosing a programme
Use these outcomes as context about past institute-level cohorts, not as a forecast for your own placement. Programme choice, academic performance, location preferences, role type and recruiting conditions can shape individual outcomes; this NIRF table does not isolate those effects. If you are comparing IIIT Delhi with another institution, align the graduating year, programme duration, salary metric and denominator first. Comparing one institution’s average with another’s NIRF median gives a misleading result.
For applicants and students, the most useful next step is to check a current official placement report for the programme and batch you care about. Confirm whether the number is a median or average, whether the denominator is graduates or eligible students, and whether the year refers to graduation or placement season. The figures above retain the reporting years used by NIRF and should be updated only by adding a new supported cohort, not by relabeling an older year.
