The average salary this season on the campus is Rs 21.8 lakh per annum (CTC) in comparison to Rs 21.5 lakh and Rs 17.9 lakh in 2021-22 and 2020-21 respectively.

This year, 16 offers of over Rs 1 crore per annum were made. And of the total 300 pre-placement offers, 194 were accepted by students, including 65 international offers. But international offers were less than in the previous year.

“This year’s international offers were made by firms based in the US, Japan, UK, Netherlands, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Due to the war in Ukraine and the subdued global economy, the number of international offers were similar to last year,” said the placement office.
