ICT Mumbai Placements: NIRF 2026 Cohort Outcomes

Read the cohort before reading the package

The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2026 Engineering submission for the Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), Mumbai reports three distinct programme-duration groups: four-year undergraduate programmes, two-year postgraduate programmes and five-year integrated postgraduate programmes. It records students graduating in minimum stipulated time, students placed, median salary of placed graduates in rupees and students selected for higher studies. These are broad institutional categories, not branch-wise placement tables.

The latest graduation year in this submission is 2024–25. The values below are historical outcomes reported to NIRF in 2026. They do not describe the current placement season, predict a new student’s offer or establish a job-seeking placement rate. Use them to understand what the report measures, then ask for the latest course-level report if you need to compare a particular ICT branch.

NIRF 2026 outcomes by reported programme group

The figures and labels come from ICT’s submitted NIRF tables. The UG category covers four-year programmes, the PG category two-year programmes, and the integrated category five-year programmes. None isolates Polymer Engineering, B.Pharm., a specific M.Tech. branch or another named degree. Read ICT’s NIRF 2026 Engineering submission.

What changed in the reported rows

Within the four-year UG category, the reported median moved from ₹9,00,000 for 2023–24 graduates to ₹6,00,000 for 2024–25 graduates. The count placed changed from 121 to 113, while the count selected for higher studies changed from 60 to 64. In the two-year PG group, the median stayed at ₹7,00,000 for 2022–23 and 2023–24 graduates, then was ₹5,89,000 for 2024–25; the placed count moved from 169 to 173 between the last two years, with 12 students selected for higher studies in each row.

For the five-year integrated group, the reported median was ₹7,50,000 in 2023–24 and ₹7,40,000 in 2024–25. The placed count was 31 and 21 respectively, while higher-study selections were 24 and 7. The smaller counts make branch- or individual-level conclusions especially uncertain. The report does not explain the reasons behind the changes, so they should not be attributed to a particular course, recruiter or economic condition.

These comparisons keep each graduation cohort within its own NIRF group. They do not establish that a new batch will receive the same median or that an individual student can expect an offer at that level. A median describes the middle value among the reported placed graduates; it is not the average, highest package, take-home pay or guaranteed salary.

Why the counts are not a placement rate

The table reports graduates in minimum stipulated time and placed graduates, but it does not provide the number of students who sought placement, participated in placement activity or were eligible for it. Dividing placed students by the minimum-time graduates would produce a ratio, not a supported jobseeker placement rate. Students can pursue further study, entrepreneurship, public service, family business or other plans, and the NIRF rows do not provide a full breakdown of each graduate’s preference.

The “selected for higher studies” count is a separate measure. Do not add it to the placed count to create an outcome total, and do not subtract it from graduates to invent a job-seeking denominator. Ask the placement office for the number eligible, registered, participating and placed, with the branch, graduation batch and reporting date stated for each figure.

The NIRF figures are stated in rupees. Keep that unit when comparing them with an institute report that may use lakhs per annum, annual compensation, fixed pay or CTC. Those terms can describe different things. If a later report gives an amount in lakhs, verify the unit and package definition before converting or comparing it with a NIRF median.

What to request for a course-level decision

Before using a placement claim to choose a programme, request the current report for the exact branch and graduation batch. Check the report date, eligible and participating counts, number placed, number choosing higher study, median and average definitions, recruiter or role examples, and whether compensation is annual salary, fixed pay or CTC. Ask whether internships, PPOs, multiple offers or unaccepted offers are included in the counts.

The NIRF 2026 tables are useful for a three-year history across ICT’s broad duration groups, but they cannot rank individual branches. Ask ICT for its latest programme-level material and check its reporting date, cohort definitions and salary units. If the current report does not disclose programme-wise denominators or salary definitions, keep that gap visible instead of treating the institutional median as a branch guarantee.
