IIT Placements: Which IIT has the best placement record for non-CSE branches? Check the records of these 5 IITs..
For many students who clear the JEE Advanced exam, securing admission in the Computer Science Engineering (CSE) branch remains their top priority, as this branch attracts the highest number of students and offers excellent placement opportunities. However, not every student secures a seat in CSE. Consequently, many opt for branches such as Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, Aerospace, Metallurgy, or Engineering Physics. Several of these branches boast placement records that rival those of Computer Science. Let us look at five such IITs known for delivering outstanding placement results in branches other than Computer Science.
IIT Bombay
IIT Bombay is one of the country's premier institutions for engineering students. Beyond Computer Science, branches like Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, Aerospace, and Engineering Physics attract major recruiters from both core and non-core sectors. Students from Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, in particular, secure lucrative placement packages. During last year's placement drive, 244 Electrical Engineering students, 213 Mechanical Engineering students, and 98 Chemical Engineering students received job offers from various companies. The highest annual packages recorded were ₹1.2 crore for Electrical Engineering, ₹45 lakh for Mechanical Engineering, and ₹40 lakh for Civil Engineering.
IIT Delhi
This institute is an excellent choice not only for Computer Science students but also for those in other engineering disciplines. Students specializing in Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, and Production Engineering regularly receive job offers from consulting firms, technology companies, financial institutions, and industry giants in the engineering sector. Last year, the highest annual packages stood at ₹80 lakh for Electrical Engineering, ₹60 lakh for Mechanical Engineering, ₹52 lakh for Civil Engineering, and ₹55 lakh for Chemical Engineering.
IIT Madras
This institute has established itself as one of India's premier engineering institutions. It secures excellent placements for students across branches such as Mechanical, Aerospace, Chemical, Electrical, and Naval Architecture. Last year, the highest annual packages offered were ₹1.1 crore for Electrical Engineering, ₹50 lakh for Mechanical Engineering, ₹45 lakh for Civil Engineering, and ₹40 lakh for Chemical Engineering.
IIT Kanpur
Students in branches such as Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Mathematics secure excellent placements at this institute. Companies from the semiconductor sector, research organizations, and financial firms recruit students from here. Last year, the average annual packages stood at ₹27 lakh for Electrical Engineering, approximately ₹20 lakh for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and ₹16 lakh for Civil Engineering.
IIT Kharagpur
As the country's oldest IIT, IIT Kharagpur also hosts one of the largest placement drives in India. Students from branches like Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgical, Mining, and Chemical Engineering secure jobs in sectors such as engineering, consulting, and analytics. Last year, the average annual packages were ₹21 lakh for Electrical Engineering, ₹18 lakh for Mechanical Engineering, ₹19 lakh for Aerospace Engineering, ₹17 lakh for Chemical Engineering, and ₹15 lakh for Civil Engineering.
