VIT placements: what the reported figures mean
Vellore Institute of Technology reports a highest CTC of ₹1 crore through its official Career Development Centre (CDC) tracker. The same tracker describes internships and placements across four campuses: Vellore, Chennai, AP and Bhopal. Therefore, ₹1 crore is a group-wide maximum. It should not be presented as Vellore-only, or as an average, median or typical package. Students comparing outcomes should separate this headline from the institution-submitted salary and placement data below.
The official CDC tracker supports the highest-package context, while the NIRF 2025 engineering submission supplies three years of UG four-year outcomes. These datasets answer different questions: CDC shows the maximum headline; NIRF reports graduating students, placed students, median salary and higher-studies selections. The NIRF rows are institution-submitted engineering outcomes and must not be recast as Vellore-only results.
NIRF 2025 UG four-year engineering outcomes
| Academic year | Graduating in minimum time | Students placed | Median salary | Selected for higher studies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021-22 | 6,177 | 4,212 | ₹8,00,000 | 957 |
| 2022-23 | 7,053 | 4,923 | ₹9,00,000 | 1,051 |
| 2023-24 | 5,964 | 4,031 | ₹8,99,000 | 1,255 |
Placed-student counts were 4,212, 4,923 and 4,031 across the three submitted years. The corresponding median salaries were ₹8,00,000, ₹9,00,000 and ₹8,99,000. These figures offer a more representative salary reference than the single highest CTC, but they still describe the submitted engineering cohort rather than a particular programme. The higher-studies column is also important: it records 957, 1,051 and 1,255 students respectively, keeping that pathway visible alongside placements. No unofficial placement percentage should be calculated from these rows.
The supplied evidence does not establish a named-recruiter list or recruiter-wise offer counts. Accordingly, this profile does not attribute hiring volume, salary bands or campus participation to individual companies. Programme choice can instead be reviewed through VIT’s courses and compared with the reported outcomes.
Placement decision checklist
- Treat ₹1 crore as the CDC’s four-campus maximum, not the expected package for an individual student.
- Use the NIRF median salary when comparing broad outcomes, then assess affordability through the fees section.
- Consider placed students and higher-studies selections together before reviewing admission details or VIT’s ranking context.
Placement-data caution: The CDC headline combines four campuses, whereas the NIRF table contains institution-submitted engineering outcomes. Neither source supports calling ₹1 crore a Vellore campus average or assigning the NIRF rows solely to Vellore.
Placement FAQs
Is VIT’s highest CTC ₹1 crore?
Yes. The official CDC tracker displays ₹1 crore, but it is the maximum reported across Vellore, Chennai, AP and Bhopal.
What was the latest listed median salary?
For the 2023-24 UG four-year engineering row in the NIRF 2025 submission, the median salary was ₹8,99,000 and 4,031 students were placed.
Does NIRF report higher-studies selections?
Yes. The three rows report 957 students in 2021-22, 1,051 in 2022-23 and 1,255 in 2023-24.
