What the latest fully inspected report shows See the NIRF 2025 Engineering submission and the institute’s NIRF report index.
The most recent placement evidence I could inspect directly is IIIT Hyderabad’s institution-submitted NIRF Engineering 2025 report, identified by NIRF as International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad [IR-E-U-0014]. It reports employment and higher-study outcomes by duration group: UG [4 Years Program(s)], UG [5 Years Program(s)] and PG [2 Year Program(s)]. The report’s latest outcome year is 2023-24. These are institutional disclosures in a government ranking submission, not an independent audit or a promise of future placements.
The report records a strong number of placed graduates in the specified minimum-time completion groups, but the denominator is not all students enrolled or all eligible students across the institute. It is the count graduating in the minimum stipulated time for that duration group. Higher-study selections appear separately. This distinction matters when comparing these rows with an institute’s recruiting dashboard, which may use a different eligible-student denominator, reporting date or set of programmes.
NIRF 2025 outcomes, by programme duration group
The table below transcribes the placement-and-higher-studies section of the NIRF 2025 Engineering submission. Placement share is a simple calculation: placed students divided by graduates in minimum stipulated time. It is rounded to one decimal place. NIRF reports the median salary of placed graduates per annum in rupees. The duration labels are preserved exactly; the submission does not identify these outcomes by individual branch in this table.
Across the three reported outcome years, the UG four-year group’s placement share moved from 91.0% to 94.1%; the median rose from ₹30.36L to ₹32.00L. That is a comparison of the first and latest rows in this table, not a claim that every programme or student’s salary increased. The five-year group has much smaller graduate counts in 2022-23 and 2023-24 than the four-year group; its 2023-24 figure represents 35 placements among 38 minimum-time graduates. The PG two-year group reported 136 placements among 145 graduates in 2023-24, with a ₹23.00L median. These results should not be combined into one institution-wide placement rate or median because they have different programme-duration groups and denominators.
How to read the figures
“Placed” is not the same as total intake. The report lists first-year intake and admissions in separate columns, then reports placement outcomes for a graduating academic year. The placement share shown above uses only the same row’s minimum-time graduates as its denominator. It is not the percentage of the original entry batch that found work, nor an offer count.
Higher studies remain a separate outcome. For 2023-24, the report lists 11 UG four-year graduates, three UG five-year graduates and nine PG two-year graduates selected for higher studies. These counts are not added to “placed” in this table. A student may also have an outcome outside those fields; the NIRF row does not support classifying every graduate as placed, studying further or unplaced from these two counts alone.
Median is not the average or the highest package. NIRF’s median is the middle salary value among placed graduates as reported by the institute. It does not reveal the full salary distribution, role mix, recruiter count, international offers, internship conversion, or branch-specific outcome. Do not compare it with an average package unless the other figure uses the same cohort and reporting basis.
The groups are not branch-level results. This submission distinguishes four-year UG, five-year UG and two-year PG durations. It does not allocate each placement row to CSE, ECE, a particular dual-degree stream, or a named postgraduate programme. Treat these as duration-group evidence only. The report also includes sanctioned intake and all-programme enrolment tables, but neither should be substituted for the placement denominator.
Newer data and what remains unknown Check IIIT-H’s NIRF report index for its linked report editions.
IIIT Hyderabad’s NIRF report page now links to 2026 submitted-data documents, including Engineering. In this source check the official page opened, but its Engineering PDF redirected to a CDN address that the retrieval tool could not access. I therefore have not added 2024-25 outcomes or described the 2025 report as the newest report available. The direct NIRF 2025 PDF was opened and its institution ID, programme-duration groups, rows and reporting labels were inspected.
The 2025 submission supports outcomes through 2023-24 only. It does not establish placement results for the 2024-25 graduating cohort, the 2025-26 cycle, or current recruiter activity. It also does not provide branch-level placement medians or a 2027-28 forecast. Applicants should ask IIIT-H’s placement office for any newer annual report and its denominator, cohort, branch coverage and date of publication before comparing it with these figures. The institute’s annual recruiting activity and its NIRF-reported graduating outcomes answer different questions; use each for the decision it actually supports.
