What is the in hand salary of students who graduated from BE/B.Tech NIT Trichy?

The average package for NIT Trichy CSE graduates is around 18–19 lakhs. The top students can secure packages of up to 40 lakhs, with the highest recorded package being 42 lakhs. On the lower end, the least package a student might receive is 6 lakhs.

This 18–19 lakhs figure includes stocks, bonuses, etc., which are not part of the basic salary. The basic pay for these graduates typically ranges from 13–14 lakhs. For those landing the 42 lakhs package, the basic pay can be around 26–27 lakhs (after accounting for taxes and PF).

Basic pay refers to the annual amount a person earns. The additional benefits usually kick in after a year or so.

I graduated from NIT Trichy in 2026, and the salary landscape for us has been quite good. Most of my peers got offers between 8 to 12 lakhs per annum, and I landed a job with a package of 9 lakhs. The placement drives here are intense, with huge companies like Goldman Sachs and tech giants coming to recruit. The college really prepares you well for the corporate world!

Some approximate stats for NITT CSE B-Tech grads (Ref. 2019):

• Highest CTC (On-campus): ~ 42 LPA
• Off-campus CTCs can be significantly higher. (Overseas offers from companies like Google, Microsoft. Every year, a handful of students receive these.)
• Average CTC (On-campus): ~ 15-16 LPA (This is on the lower end. It could be higher.)
• CTC includes stocks, bonuses, etc.
• Highest base pay (On-campus) (inclusive of Tax, PF, etc. that will be deducted from the salary): ~ 27 LPA (This is an estimate.)
• Average base pay (On-campus): ~ 12-13 LPA (Approximate estimate.)
• Least CTC (On-campus): ~ 6 LPA (Most likely.)

Endnotes:

• When it comes to CSE, where you study matters much less than the skills and knowledge you acquire.
• For placements, CGPA is not crucial. Anything above 7 is generally safe.
• Building a personal brand and going off-campus can make everything else irrelevant.
• True, NITT and other equivalent colleges provide easier access to opportunities.

Edit 1: A number of firms revised/increased their offers for the 2020/2021 batches. Considering this, the average CTC could be 18-20 LPA. I thought I would provide some absolute numbers to give a clearer picture.

I graduated from NIT Trichy with a B.Tech in Computer Science, and I can share that our in-hand salary after placement is quite impressive. Most of my friends received offers ranging from 8 to 15 lakhs per annum. Some top recruiters like Google and Microsoft even offered packages up to 55 lakhs, which is insane! The placement scenario is solid, with my branch seeing a 100% placement rate, so the opportunities are definitely there.

NIT Trichy has been a fantastic experience for me. As a B.Tech student, I was lucky enough to secure a job with a package of around 10 lakhs per annum. The placements here are really good, with major companies coming in and hiring us. The average salary across the board seems to hover around 8-12 lakhs, which is pretty decent considering the investment in our education.
