New Delhi: A recent study has revealed that only 57% of B.Tech students, studying Civil Engineering across 10 IITs in India managed to secure campus placements in 2020-21. 

IITs, NITs Record 57% Placements for Civil Engineering Graduates; Lowest Among all Branches

An RTI was filed with all the 23 IITs in India to find out about the placement packages. 13 IITs responded to that and 10 IITs were selected to understand how B.Tech Civil Engineering packages vary from one to another IITs. As the data showed, Civil Engineering has one of lowest placement records across IITs and also NITs

As per the data, many B.Tech Civil Engineering students did not even participate in the campus placement, organised by the institutes. There seems to be a large gap between the average packages received by the other engineering students from the institutions and that of the Civil Engineering students. 

Civil Engineering Placement Report: Highlights 

IITs selected for the report IIT ISM Dhanbad, IIT BHU, IIT Delhi, IIT Gandhinagar, IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Patna, IIT Roorkee, IIT Kanpur, IIT Ropar, IIT Indore, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Madras
Total No. of Civil Engineering Students 437
Students Participated in Campus Placements 328
Students Received Placements 186 
Average Salary of Students from Other Engineering Branches INR 15.6 Lakhs
Average Salary of Civil Engineering Students  INR 11.10 Lakhs

Civil Engineering Placement Report Findings: Package Comparison

As per the data, the gap between packages received by the students from other engineering branches and that by the Civil Engineering branches is huge. The following table shows the comparison:

Institutes Average Package Offered (LPA) Average Package Offered to Civil Engineers  Difference (in %)
IIT ISM Dhanbad 12 6.9 42
IIT BHU  17.6 12.9 27
IIT Delhi - - -
IIT Gandhinagar 10.5 8.2 22
IIT Guwahati 19.4 13.5 30
IIT Hyderabad 20 10.7 47
IIT Indore 14.7 9 39
IIT Kanpur 20.2 17.3 15
IIT Kharagpur 15 - -
IIT Madras 17.1 17.3 -
IIT Patna 13.1 6.6 50
IIT Roorkee - - -
IIT Ropar 12.2 9.2 24

The widest gap, as shown by the chart, seems to be at IIT Patna, followed by IIT Hyderabad. The best record is represented by IIT Madras. 

Civil Engineering Placement Report Findings: Salary Comparison

Not just the average placement record, the maximum and minimum salary packages also vary a lot for the Civil Engineering students. The following table shows some of the institutes’ maximum and minimum salary packages:

Civil Engineering Placement Report Findings from State Universities

To understand whether this problem extends at the regional level also, some of the state universities were also asked to participate in the study. The three colleges under Anna University, Tamil Nadu, were:

  • College of Engineering (CoE), Anna University
  • Madras Institute of Technology
  • Alagappa College of Technology

Only CoE offered Civil Engineering subject and the research findings are as followed:

  • Out of 89 students, only 7 students from English medium and 1 student from Tamil medium received placements
  • The average salary was 4.58 LPA for the English medium students and 4.4 for the Tamil one.
