This page collects the placement figures NIT Delhi, New Delhi, Delhi, has reported, covering 3 years from 2020 to 2023. The highest package on record is ₹82 LPA, in 2023. Below the numbers there is a short guide to reading them, because placement figures are the easiest part of a college brochure to misunderstand.
NIT Delhi placements year by year
Everything NIT Delhi has reported, in one place. A dash means the college did not publish that figure for that year — it does not mean zero.
| Year | Students placed | Average | Median | Highest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 88% | ₹17.7 LPA | ₹17.4 LPA | ₹82 LPA |
| 2022 | — | ₹17.1 LPA | — | — |
| 2020 | — | — | ₹9 LPA | — |
Average or median: which one matters
The average adds up every salary and divides by the number of students. A handful of very large offers pull it up, so it often looks better than what most students actually get. The median is the middle salary — half the batch got more, half got less. For working out what you are likely to earn, the median is the honest number.
At NIT Delhi in 2023, the average was ₹17.7 LPA and the median ₹17.4 LPA — a gap of 2%. That is a fairly normal gap, which suggests offers are spread reasonably evenly across the batch.
What the highest package really means
The highest package is one offer, to one student, in one year. It is often an international role quoted in foreign currency, or a role at a company that hires one or two people from the whole country. It tells you the ceiling, not the floor.
How to use these numbers
- Ask for branch-wise figures. A college-wide average hides big differences between branches. The number that matters is the one for the course you will actually join.
- Check what "placed" counts. Some colleges count only students who registered for placements, not the whole batch.
- Look at the recruiters, not just the salary. Which companies come, and for what roles, tells you more about your first job than any single figure.
- Compare like with like. A ₹20 LPA average at a two-year PG course is not the same result as at a four-year UG course.
About this data
These figures come from NIT Delhi's own placement record and are updated as each season closes. Where a year shows a dash, the college has not published that number yet. Placement figures are self-reported across Indian higher education, so treat them as a guide and confirm anything decisive with the college directly.
