IIT Tirupati Placements 2023 vs 2024: Salary package, Sectors, Top Branch (As reported by The Indian Express, 14 January 2026): IIT Tirupati placements 2023 vs 2024: While 2023 was marked by uneven placement conversion across departments despite salary figures at the top end, the 2024 placement season showed broader improvement in placement percentages


Placements at IIT Tirupati over the 2023 and 2024 cycles show major changes in outcomes across branches, salary levels, and overall hiring momentum. While 2023 was marked by uneven placement conversion across departments despite salary figures at the top end, the 2024 placement season showed broader improvement in placement percentages, especially in circuital branches, along with higher consistency in median and average packages.

Here’s a year-on-year comparison showing how the institute’s placement profile has gradually matured, with Computer Science and Engineering emerging as the strongest branches in both years, though with different patterns in pay and placement ratios.

IIT Tirupati BTech Placement 2023

In the 2023 graduating BTech batch, IIT Tirupati recorded a total of 189 registered students across five core branches, out of which 120 students were placed, resulting in an overall BTech placement rate of 63.49 per cent. Placement outcomes varied significantly by branch. Computer Science and Engineering led in terms of salary outcomes, reporting the highest average and median packages, while Mechanical Engineering recorded the lowest placement percentage among the five branches.

Despite lower conversion rates in some disciplines, salary ranges extended up to Rs 46 lakh per annum, indicating selective but high-value offers.

Branch-wise data shows that CSE maintained a placement rate of over 77 per cent, with an average CTC exceeding Rs 25 lakh per annum.
