The series will compare data from the past two years to understand how packages, recruiter participation, and international offers have evolved. While IITs have traditionally remained cautious about sharing complete placement figures, indianexpress.com will examine available official data and institute reports to highlight how much IIT graduates have been offered over the years and the shift in hiring trends.

Among the country’s top engineering colleges, dominated by the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), IIT Delhi consistently features as one of the most preferred destinations for engineering aspirants. The institutes popularity is largely owed to its strong industry connections and placement records.

Year after year, the institute has recorded global recruiters and top domestic companies offering job roles across technology, finance, analytics, and consulting domains. Here’s a deep-dive on the institutes’ hiring trends in the past two placement cycles.
JEE Main 2026 Registration: Check tentative chapter-wise weightage
According to official data released by the IIT Delhi placement office, the 2023–24 placement cycle reflected a steady performance despite market fluctuations. The institute reported more than 1,200 job offers, with over 1,150 individual students securing placements in Phase 1 itself.
Notably, over 50 international offers were made by organisations from countries such as Japan, the Netherlands, South Korea, Taiwan, the UK, and the US.
In terms of compensation, the average package for undergraduate engineering students across disciplines remained within the range of Rs 18 to 20 lakh per annum, while top domestic offers crossed Rs 1 crore per annum.
The highest international package, according to institute reports cited in the media, stood at over Rs 2 crore per annum. Leading recruiters included Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Barclays, and American Express, along with major consulting firms like BCG and Bain & Company.
| Year | Domestic Offers | International Offers | Unique UG Offers | Package Details |
| 2024–25 (Ongoing) | Recruiters include: Google, Microsoft, Oracle, BCG, Barclays, American Express, PSUs (IOCL, BPCL, etc.) | 40+ offers from Japan, Netherlands, South Korea, Taiwan, UAE, UK, US | 850 (so far) | Not disclosed yet officially |
| 2023–24 | 1,150+ students placed in Phase 1 alone | 50+ international offers (Japan, Netherlands, South Korea, Taiwan, UK, US) | 781 | Avg: Rs 18–20 LPA (UG)
Top domestic: Rs 1+ crore Top intl: Rs 2+ crore |
| 2022–23 | Fewer companies compared to later years; Core & analytics dominant | Fewer than 2023–24 | 712 | Avg: Rs 16–18 LPA (UG)
Top offers: Rs 1+ crore |
While the 2023–24 cycle marked strong participation and high-value offers. Compared to 2022–23, the number of unique undergraduate offers rose from around 712 in 2022 and 768 in 2023 to over 780 in 2024.
The placement office also reported that overall international participation has gradually expanded, with more companies from East Asia and Europe joining the recruitment drive.
However, the placement rate, that is, the percentage of students placed out of those registered, has shown variation. As per earlier reports, about 61% of the 1,885 registered students were placed by December 2024, compared to roughly 65% in the preceding year.
This suggests that while the number of offers and companies remained strong, final placements were slightly slower to close due to global hiring moderation in the tech sector.
The 2023–24 placement year underscored IIT Delhi’s expanding international footprint. The institute’s placement cell noted that more than a dozen global organisations hired students for overseas roles.
As per placement reports, most international opportunities came primarily from software engineering and product management profiles in Japan and the US. Domestically, consulting and analytics roles saw a rise, reflecting the growing diversification of recruiters beyond traditional core engineering companies. Departments such as Computer Science and Electrical Engineering continued to lead in terms of the highest number of high-value offers.
For the 2022–23 batch, the institute recorded around 712 unique offers at the undergraduate level, a figure lower than the subsequent year. International offers were comparatively fewer, and the overall number of companies visiting the campus was modest relative to later cycles. Still, the core engineering and analytics sectors remained dominant.
Average salaries for BTech graduates were marked between Rs 16–18 lakh per annum, with top offers again exceeding the crore mark. As per official departmental placement reports, major recruiters during that season included the likes of Google, Qualcomm, Intel, Samsung, and consulting firms such as Deloitte and EY.
