IIT Hyderabad Placements 2024: Highest Package, Average Package, Top Recruiters

Apple Inc. does recruit engineers from India, including from top institutions such as IITs, BITS, NITs, and IIITs. They have a dedicated team in India to find and recruit top talent from around the country. However, like any other company, they have certain criteria and standards that they look for in candidates, and they also have a limited number of open positions at any given time.

Therefore, even if an individual is highly qualified and comes from a prestigious institution, they may not be selected for a role at Apple. 

Apple initially hired students from IIIT Hyderabad because its head office is situated in Hyderabad. After this, Apple started approaching old IITs and even top NITs such as Trichy, Surathkal, and Warangal. You will be surprised to know that now Apple even visits BITS Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad Campuses.

So you can rest assured as Apple is now recruiting actively from top technical institutes of the country. 

Overall, the placement scenario at IIT Hyderabad is great but the high statistics might be misleading. The small batch size makes the figures inflated and the average package is recorded as high as INR 20.07 LPA.

However, IIT Hyderabad has developed at a fast rate and is considered the best among the new IITs. The table below shows the placement statistics for this year.

Highest Package	INR 63.78 LPA
Average Package	INR 20.07 LPA
Placement Percentage	74.90%
Number of Recruiters	335
Number of Students Placed	570
Number of Offers	621
Number of International Offers	55
Number of PPOs	104

We can infer from the above table that IIT Hyderabad has indeed performed higher than expectations but that does not mean it should be preferred to IIT BHU and IIT Guwahati. IIT Hyderabad should be considered over IIT BHU and IIT Guwahati only for similar branches because it cannot match the exposure and opportunities of old IITs. 

If you are planning to start working right after MTech and you belong to the CS branch, then IIT Hyderabad has excellent opportunities for you. However, for other branches like mechanical, biomedical, and material science placements are scarce. You will be left with no option other than going for a Ph.D. Those who even get placed, end up with an extremely low package.

For those who aren't job oriented, and want to pursue core research and PhD, IIT Hyderabad is an excellent choice. It has top-notch labs and research facilities giving you ample opportunities.

IIT Hyderabad is one of the fastest-growing new IITs that has almost reached the level of older IITs in no time. Its location of being in one of the biggest industrial cities of India plays a big role in its fast-paced development. My sister was a student of the CSP branch (MTech RA) and enlightened me about the placement scenario there. However, she passed out in 2016 so the placement stats are for that year only.

The CSP department of IIT Hyderabad has extremely learned and experienced faculty with a decent placement scenario even better than VLSI. 

• In 2015-16, CSP recorded 80% placement with an average salary above INR 10 LPA.
• In the 2016–17 placement session, CSP boasted of 100% placement with the average CTC standing at INR 12 LPA. Some students even received more than one offer.

Considering the improved trend, the placement scenario of CSP at IIT Hyderabad is currently expected to be even better.

The average package for Engineering Science at IIT Hyderabad cannot be determined as it has been recently launched. The branch is an excellent choice for those who are unaware of their area of interest and inclinations.

The curriculum is well-structured and industry relevant. In the first and second semesters, you will be taught common courses from all the branches. In the 3rd semester, you will be required to complete projects from all branches. Lastly, you will be required to opt for a branch of your interest that you will be studying in the 4th year. 

The placements of the branch you have chosen and the actual branch will be the same. For instance, if you opted for CS, you will be eligible to sit with students of the CS branch for placements. 

The degree awarded will be BTech in Engineering Science and your chosen branch.

Placement for M-tech in institutes like IIT varies from batch to batch due to the lesser requirement of an M-tech candidate to do a particular work. The placements of structural engineering or that of any branch depend more on the placement division of the institute of that batch. 

The placements for structural engineering are decent with an average package of around INR 5 LPA. I deem it as one of the best institutes to study structural engineering in India considering the fact that its research work is on par with many old IITs. The institute renders an opportunity to learn and grow with the most genius minds in the country
