Delhi Technological University (DTU) has not released an official placement report for the 2025-26 academic cycle as of July 2026. The statistics presented here cover the 2024-25 placement season, the most recently completed and publicly verified cycle. That season drew over 350 companies to the DTU campus, culminating in 1,486 offers to B.Tech students, with a domestic peak of INR 85 LPA and an international offer of INR 1.8 crore per annum.

The 2024-25 B.Tech batch recorded an average CTC of INR 15.45 LPA and a median CTC of INR 12.42 LPA, a step down from the INR 16.71 LPA average of 2023-24. The moderation reflects a broader recalibration in campus hiring at premier engineering institutions after the post-pandemic surge of 2022-23, when B.Tech offers peaked at 1,990. Software-aligned branches continued to account for the highest averages and the most competitive single-day offers, while core engineering disciplines such as Mechanical and Civil Engineering recorded averages below INR 10 LPA.

Key Takeaways:

  • B.Tech offer volume declined from the 2022-23 peak of 1,990 before partially recovering to 1,486 in 2024-25, indicating a gradual stabilisation in hiring activity.
  • The domestic highest package held close to INR 85 LPA across three consecutive seasons, showing consistent premium demand at the top end of the curve.
  • The gap between the average (INR 15.45 LPA) and median (INR 12.42 LPA) in 2024-25 signals that high-value offers from tech and finance firms are concentrated in a small subset of branches.

B.Tech Placements: Branch-Wise Data

DTU’s B.Tech programme spans multiple engineering disciplines, with Computer Engineering (COE) being the largest branch by intake and the highest by offer volume in 2024-25. Software Engineering posted the highest single offer of the season at INR 85 LPA, while the three core engineering branches averaged between INR 9 LPA and INR 13 LPA. The table below covers the seven branches for which public data is available.

Civil Engineering (CE)14268INR 9.20 LPAINR 20.31 LPA

Key Takeaways:

  • Computer Engineering accounted for the largest share of total offers (371 out of the disclosed branch-level total), underlining the scale of tech-sector hiring at DTU.
  • Mechanical Engineering placed the second-highest number of students (178) despite averaging INR 9.58 LPA, confirming steady core-sector demand even at lower compensation levels.
  • Civil Engineering posted both the lowest average (INR 9.20 LPA) and the lowest placement count (68), reflecting the more constrained campus hiring environment for infrastructure roles.

Year-over-Year Trend

Compared to 2023-24, the Computer Engineering average rose from INR 17.21 LPA to INR 19.85 LPA in 2024-25, while Software Engineering saw its average fall from INR 21.54 LPA to INR 18.46 LPA. Civil Engineering held broadly flat at around INR 9 LPA in both seasons, and the highest domestic offer across all branches remained near INR 85 LPA. These shifts suggest that recruiting demand within the software stack reallocated partly toward product engineering roles that are captured under COE rather than SE.

M.Tech Placements

DTU’s M.Tech programme covers over 20 specialisations. In 2023-24, 152 offers were extended to M.Tech students out of 168 registered across all specialisations. VLSI Design, Applied Mathematics and Informatics, and Signal Processing and Design have been the consistently strongest performers.

SpecialisationAvg CTC (2024-25)Highest CTC (2024-25)Avg CTC (2023-24)Highest CTC (2023-24)

Applied Mathematics and Informatics--INR 23.04 LPA-
Signal Processing and Design--INR 25.64 LPAINR 28.90 LPA

VLSI Design posted the sharpest improvement between the two seasons, with its average climbing from INR 19.45 LPA in 2023-24 to INR 28.52 LPA in 2024-25. This reflects growing demand from the semiconductor design sector as domestic chip-design activity expanded. M.Tech CSE also improved, from INR 13.58 LPA to INR 15.15 LPA, with its highest offer rising from INR 29 LPA to INR 41.7 LPA.

MBA Placements

DTU operates two MBA programmes: MBA (DSM) under the Delhi School of Management and MBA (USME) under the University School of Management and Entrepreneurship. Both programmes recruit from consulting, banking, analytics, and consumer goods sectors, with DSM attracting a wider recruiter pool given its longer operational history.

ProgrammeOffers (2024-25)Avg CTC (2024-25)Highest CTC (2024-25)Avg CTC (2023-24)Highest CTC (2023-24)
MBA (DSM)53INR 7.74 LPAINR 16.42 LPAINR 9.48 LPAINR 37 LPA
MBA (USME)52INR 7.55 LPAINR 22 LPAINR 9.00 LPAINR 14.13 LPA

The 2024-25 season saw DSM’s average fall from INR 9.48 LPA to INR 7.74 LPA and its peak offer drop from INR 37 LPA to INR 16.42 LPA. USME’s average similarly fell from INR 9 LPA to INR 7.55 LPA, though its highest offer improved from INR 14.13 LPA to INR 22 LPA. In 2023-24, 102 total MBA offers were made across both programmes from a combined registered pool of 278 students. The overall pattern for the MBA programme reflects a market that rewards individual students with strong finance or analytics backgrounds while delivering more moderate averages at the batch level.

Which is a better career, DTU BA or a SSC level government job??

LunarLiberty

I’m in my second year of BA at DTU, and I think it offers a lot more opportunities compared to a typical SSC government job. The campus life is vibrant, and events like Engifest are a big deal here. Sure, the fees are higher compared to government colleges, but the experience and the exposure you get are worth it. Plus, if you’re planning to do an MBA later, the foundation you build at DTU is really helpful. With placements from companies like Byjus and Bajaj, there’s potential for good growth. So, if you’re looking for a dynamic career path, DTU BA might be the better option.

What are the average and maximum packages out of DTU??

TheSereneScribe

I'm in my second year at DTU, and I’ve been looking into placements already. The average package for students seems to be about 5 LPA, while the highest recorded package is 13 LPA from Samartha Industries. It’s a bit tough since only 20-25% of students are getting placed, and most offers are from startups in fields like marketing and finance. It’s a mixed bag, but I’m hoping to land something solid by the time I graduate in 2026!

What is the actual placement scenario at DTU??

WhisperingHaiku

The placement scenario at DTU is a mixed bag, honestly. I’m part of the economics course, and I've seen that most placements come from startups offering roles in marketing, sales, finance, and data analysis. Companies like Bajaj and Byjus do visit, but I feel they can be a bit unpredictable with their responses. The highest package I heard of was 13 LPA, but it seems like only about 20-25% of us get placed. I’m focusing on higher studies myself, so I’m hoping for a good MBA experience after this.

ZenithJuniper

So, I’m currently studying BA at DTU, and I’ve noticed that the average package is about 5 LPA. The placement scene is a mix, with some big companies like Bajaj and Byjus coming in. But honestly, only about 20-25% of my batch gets placed. The highest package I heard of was 13 LPA, which is impressive, but it feels like a long shot for most of us. I’m more interested in internships since I want to go for an MBA after this.

People say that DTU placement stats are fake. Can someone verify this??

EchoingObserve

The hard truth is that placements for Electrical Engineering (EE) don’t usually make headlines in leading national newspapers. From a monetary perspective, they are quite distant from the spotlight.

A fair comparison of EE placements should be made against:

  • Other ‘core’ branches at DTU
  • Core branch placements from top NITs, BITS, etc. (Including IITs wouldn’t be appropriate since their EE curriculum overlaps with DTU’s ECE and COE)

Using these benchmarks, EE placements are actually quite good. Almost all eligible students (60% aggregate, no active backlog) seeking placements manage to secure an offer.

Visiting companies predominantly hire students in three areas: core electrical, non-core (analytics, consultancy), and software engineer/developer roles.

Core electrical companies that recruit include top names like Nestle, Reliance, Tata Power, Philips, Orient, Renew Power, Orange Renewables, Wipro, Bechtel, and Technip. All of these companies offer compensation ranging from 5.5 LPA to 7 LPA CTC. Additionally, a few Japanese companies (Texeg, Fujikura, and others) have begun hiring students for overseas positions.

What would be my career prospects after completing a degree from DTU?

HashtagHermit

After completing my degree from DTU, I feel like I have a decent shot at landing a good job. The placement scene is a bit mixed, though. From what I’ve seen, around 20-25% of my batch is getting placed, with companies like Byju's and Amazon visiting us. The highest package I heard of was 13 LPA, which is impressive but not very common. I’m planning to go for an MBA after this, so I’m not too worried about immediate placements. The internships are mostly with startups, offering roles in marketing and finance, which is good for gaining experience.

How is BA (Hons.) Economics branch at DTU? What about its placement in 2025/26??

FuzzyFervor

Studying BA (Hons.) Economics at DTU has been a fulfilling journey for me. I chose this course because of my interest in economics and history from school. The campus has around 2000 students, and the faculty is quite knowledgeable. The internship opportunities are decent, with startups and established firms like Bajaj and Byjus visiting for placements. For 2025/26, I think the placement scene is promising, but only about 20-25% of students get placed each year, so it’s competitive. The average package is around 5 LPA, so I’m aiming to secure a decent offer myself.
