IIIT Hyderabad Placements 2024: Highest Package, Average Package, Top Recruiters

Tech giant Apple Inc. participated in the 2017 placement drive of IIIT Hyderabad. They first hosted a coding test. It was arranged by HackerRank. The coding test had two coding questions and a few MCQs. After the coding test, they shortlisted around 35 students for interviews. The interview questions were pretty straightforward. They mostly recruited students in Product Development and R&D job profiles. 

IIIT Hyderabad MTech placements are decent but obviously not as good as BTech placements. The main reason is that UG students get to spend more time in IIIT than MTech students. So if you are an MTech student, you need to prepare well in your summer holidays and the 3rd semester to perform well in placements.

In IIIT Hyderabad M.Tech Placements 2022, the placement percentage stood at 94. The highest salary stood at INR 65 LPA while the average salary was recorded at INR 31 LPA. The lowest salary offered was INR 5 LPA.

The branch-wise statistics of the IIIT Hyderabad M.Tech Placements 2022 have been tabulated below

Overall, IIIT Hyderabad MTech placements are great with a 100% placement percentage!

One of my friends works in a leading MNC and told me that his company only recruits from IIIT Hyderabad because of its extremely talented crowd. During my internship at a Fortune company’s research lab, I observed that they recruited students only from old IITs and top IIITs. Many IIIT Hyderabad students receive big offers from US-based companies. 

Do you still believe IIIT Hyderabad has poor placemats after reading the above instances? If yes, then go through the following placement stats:

It's true that IIT Hyderabad being a CS oriented institute has good placement records in these branches alone. Other fields have poor placements and many Master's students suffer as a result. But to claim IIIT Hyderabad has poor placements as a whole would be misleading indeed.

Yes, it’s true that IIIT Hyderabad has better placements than IITs. For instance, IIIT Hhyderabad's average package for 2022 stood at INR 32 LPA whereas the top IIT Bombay average package stood at INR 23.26 LPA. Apart from the top IITs, most of the IITs have the highest package INR 40–60 LPA.

In IIIT Hyderabad 2022 placements, the highest package of INR 74 LPA was offered. 

The placement scenario of IIIT Hyderabad is highly comparable to top IITs and here even the average students get placed with great packages. So, ultimately, it’s up to you which one to go for IIT or IIIT Hyderabad.

Every company has its own way of breaking down the CTC components. So, CTC and in hand salary aren’t directly correlated.

For example, Microsoft offers a CTC of 44 LPA but the base salary is somewhere around 13-14 LPA. Codenation, on the other hand, offers 33.5 LPA with a base salary of 25+ LPA. 

This doesn’t mean that Microsoft isn’t paying what it offered. Brands like Microsoft, Google, etc. offer lots of perks and employee benefits. These are included in the CTC. On the other hand, startups offer more cash and lesser perks. 

Investment banks like Goldman Sachs or Tower Research also pay a large portion of the promised CTC as in-hand salary. Atlassian offers a CTC of 52 LPA, but the in-hand salary is less than that of Goldman Sachs whose CTC is between 32-35 LPA. 

So the graduates of IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Hyderabad, or any other college will get an in hand salary depending on the recruiting company. 

Firstly, your mode and time of admission do not affect your placement opportunities at all. That being said, IIIT Hyderabad has an excellent placement scenario that is increasing every year. 

• IIIT Hyderabad placements 2022 recorded placement of 392 out of 400 students.
• The highest salary witnessed an increase of 32% when compared to the previous year and was recorded at INR 74 LPA
•  B.Tech CSE average salary stood at INR 32 LPA. 
• Students were placed in a number of sectors including Core Engineering industries, Software / IT Industries, Banks, Consultancy Firms, SaaS, R&D laboratories, and Academic Institutes.
• Top recruiters included Bloomberg, Code Nation, Deloitte, Facebook, Google, HSBC, Indeed, Intuit, Jio, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Samsung, Swiggy, TCS, Uber, Walmart, Unacademy, Persistent, etc.

On an ending note, I would like to comment that placements shouldn't be the sole criteria for evaluating an institute as it is just one out of many aspects. Try considering other major parameters too like culture, research, other career options, further study, alumni, faculty, students, extra-curricular, etc

Coders at IIIT Hyderabad are experts in their field which is why IT giants like Apple are choosing its campus for placements over well known IITs and NITs.

At IIIT Hyderabad, CSE/ECE students study topics specific to their course since the 1st semester itself. In IITs and NITs, however, CSE/ECE students start focusing on their particular field from the 2nd year. First year students remain busy with Chemistry, Engineering drawing, etc. which are of no use in their branch.

Brand name is secondary and thus, IIIT Hyderabad students, because of their enhanced expertise in coding, etc. are getting offers from brands like Apple.

IIIT Hyderabad solely focuses on information technology, and other fields such as computer science, electronics, and communication. The average package offered during IIIT Hyderabad placements 2022 was recorded at INR 32 LPA.
