IIIT Delhi Placement 2025: Highest Package, Average Package, Top Recruiters

All the aforementioned institutes, DTU, BITS, NSIT, and IIIT Delhi are excellent colleges that are well-recognized in the tech sector. As a whole the curriculum and placement opportunities for CS offered by these colleges are quite similar. The average package varies slightly but the individual differences compensate for that. Here is a comparative analysis of the placement statistics of these colleges 

However, if you look from the angle of research , IIIT Delhi certainly is way ahead than the other colleges. Its research-oriented institute is primarily established to conduct cutting-edge research in the field of CS. While BITS Pilani also has a decent research culture, DTU, and NSUT are nowhere near IIIT Delhi in terms of research. IIIT Delhi students have a lot of projects to work on under highly learned and passionate faculties. The exposure these students receive is unmatched and they are offered excellent opportunities in terms of both in industry and for higher education.

So if you want both excellent placements and research opportunities go for IIIT Delhi but if you want a good campus life too that is less focused on research go for BITS Pilani.

On the basis of placements, I would rank the aforementioned institutes in the following order

Bits Pilani, Pilani Campus>|IT H>Bits Goa>Bits Hyderabad>Top 3 Nits>|IT Delhi/NSUT>DTU

BITS Pilani has a better placement scenario than IIIT Hyderabad although its average package is less than IIIT Hyderabad, this is because BITS has a number of branches and the average package is calculated after considering the packages of all branches whereas IIIT Hyderabad has only two branches ie CS and ECE. Both these branches are top branches so automatically its average package becomes higher than BITS Pilani. If you compare the placements of the CS branch alone, BITS Pilani will have the upper hand. However, if you want to pursue a career in research in CS, ten choosing IIIT Hyderabad will offer better opportunities. Basically, IIIT Hyderabad will make you a better coder whereas BITS Pilani will make you a better engineer.

It's important to note that the above ranking is based on placements alone and if you consider the research culture, then NITs will fare better than BITS mainly because they are government institutes and receive huge funds solely for the purpose of research.

Here are a few pros and cons of the institute that will help you understand this matter better

Pros

• NSIT offers an excellent ROI considering its minimal fees and excellent scholarships, internship stipends, and placement opportunities. 
• The academic workload is very low and studying a month prior is more than enough to ace the exams here. This helps you save time for MOOCs and build up your CV.
• The quality of companies that visit for placement is top-notch. The institute welcomes diverse recruiters from silicon valley startups to very established big MNCs. 
• NSIT Delhi has some of the most talented people taking admission here. The 1% of people in AIEEE or JEE-MAINS get to study here. An excellent peer culture helps you gain extra knowledge of life.
• NSIT has a very rich coding culture and has produced some of the best coders. Online coding is common here and people can be seen involved in Codechef, SPOJ, Codeforces, and TopCoder.

Cons

• The syllabus is outdated, obsolete, and fails to meet industry trends.
• The faculty is pretty demotivated and has no interest in teaching. You will have to resort to self-study most of the time and seek help from your seniors.
• Being a government college, getting some administrative work done is a big task. The results are often full of errors and approaching the administration and getting your query solved is difficult.
• The research culture is pathetic here and the faculty do nothing to promote it among students. In fact, it’s difficult to even approach them for a project.

Overall, the institute offers a plethora of opportunities, especially in the IT sector but the quality of academics is a bit on the average side. As for your question, the yearly compensation is not 1 crore but much less. The figures are misleading and pay us just like what Google would pay in India around INR 24-25 LPA.

IIIT Delhi is suitable for students with a passion for research and higher studies. If you aren’t one of those, choose either DTU or NSUT.

If you want to have good placements and enjoy your college life, choose NSUT or DTU. But if you want a rigorous curriculum, and research opportunities and are planning to pursue MS or MTech then go for IIIT Delhi.
