Median package or highest package?
The median package is the salary of the student in the middle of the placed batch: half earned more, half earned less. It tells you what a typical student gets. The highest package is one offer, often to a single student, so use it as a signal of the top recruiters rather than what to expect. Across the colleges listed here, the median of the median packages is ₹9.3 LPA.
How to read a college placement report
- Placement percentage: how many eligible students were placed, not how many offers were made.
- Branch-wise figures: CSE and IT usually place higher than other branches.
- Recruiters: the companies that hired, and how many students each one took.
- Year: check that the report is for the latest graduating batch.
Placements and fees together
A college with a slightly lower package but a much lower fee can be the better choice. Compare the four-year cost with the median package before you decide.
