Factors Affecting Average Salary at IITs
Not all branches get the same packages. Computer Science (CSE) and Electronics (ECE) students usually get the highest offers.
Examples: At IIT Kanpur, CSE students got an average salary of ₹42.89 LPA. In contrast, students in Mechanical and Civil Engineering received average offers between ₹10–15 LPA. This gap is due to the high demand for tech roles.
Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs): PPOs help boost the average salary numbers.
Example: At IIT Delhi, over 1050 students received PPOs. These offers are often better because students already worked with the company during internships. Employers offer PPOs to retain top interns. It reduces the risk of hiring someone new.
International vs. Domestic Offers: Some IITs receive international offers with very high salaries.
Example: IIT Bombay reported the highest international offer of ₹3.67 CPA in 2024. These offers are from companies based in the USA, Japan, and Singapore. Most of these are for roles in software development, trading, and consulting. These offers push up the average salaries significantly.
Top Recruiters and Sectors
Tech Companies: Firms like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple hire many IIT students. They offer high packages, often above ₹30–40 LPA.
Finance and Consulting: Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and McKinsey also recruit heavily. Roles in trading and consulting come with high bonuses.
Core Engineering: Core companies like L&T, Tata Steel, and BHEL also hire. But they usually offer lower packages than tech and finance firms. This affects the overall average for branches like Civil, Mechanical, and Chemical.

Conclusion
The average package at IITs in 2024–25 ranges between ₹18 LPA and ₹37 LPA, depending on the institute, branch, and type of job. Computer Science and Electronics continue to attract the highest salaries, while core branches usually see lower offers. Pre-placement offers, global job roles, and internships play a big role in boosting average packages. Students at IITs who build strong skills, complete good internships, and target high-paying sectors like tech, finance, and consulting often secure the best placements.
Placement stats also vary across IIT generations. The 1st generation IITs like IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, and IIT Madras consistently offer the highest average packages, followed by the 2nd generation IITs such as IIT Guwahati and IIT Kanpur. The newer 3rd generation IITs generally have lower average packages but are steadily improving as their reputation grows and industry connections strengthen.
While crore-plus offers make headlines, most students get salaries between ₹15–25 LPA, which is still excellent compared to many other colleges. If you’re aiming to study at an IIT, focus on skill development, coding, projects, and internships from the beginning. With the right preparation, you can be among those who land top offers. This article gives you a clear view of what to expect and how to prepare for your future career.
