IIT Bombay CSE is widely considered India's most sought-after undergraduate programme. The placement statistics are exceptional — but it is important to interpret them correctly. The average package (35–50 LPA) is heavily influenced by a small number of international and quant finance offers that can be 5–10× the median.

The median package (~28 LPA) better represents what a typical IIT Bombay CSE graduate can expect from campus placements. Even at this level, it represents some of the highest starting salaries for fresh graduates anywhere in India.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about IIT Bombay CSE average package and placements 2026

1
What is the IIT Bombay CSE average package for 2025–26?
The IIT Bombay CSE average package for the 2025–26 placement season is approximately 35–50 LPA (this range reflects variation across roles — domestic software, international offers, quant finance, etc.). The median package is approximately 28 LPA. Note: 'average' at IIT Bombay is skewed upward by a small number of very high international and quant offers (1–3 Cr range). The median is a more representative figure for typical outcomes.
2
What is the highest paying company at IIT Bombay CSE placements?
International quant finance firms (Two Sigma, DE Shaw, Tower Research Capital, Citadel) and global tech giants (Google Research, Jane Street) offer the highest packages at IIT Bombay — typically in the ₹1–3 Cr per annum range (CTC including bonuses and signing bonuses). Domestically, Goldman Sachs, Google Hyderabad, and Microsoft SDE-3+ roles offer 60–80 LPA. Most students receive packages in the 25–50 LPA range.
3
How many IIT Bombay CSE students are placed through campus recruitment?
Approximately 90–95% of IIT Bombay CSE students who participate in campus placements receive at least one offer. Many students opt for higher studies (MS/PhD abroad at top universities) or entrepreneurship, so the effective participation rate in placements is around 70–80% of the graduating batch. The placement team at IITB does not release exact batch-wise data publicly, but historical trends show strong placement rates.
4
What is the difference between median and average package at IIT Bombay CSE?
The average package (~35–50 LPA) is pulled up significantly by a small number of extremely high-paying offers (international quant funds, top-tier international SWE roles at 1–3 Cr). The median package (~28 LPA) represents the 'middle' student outcome — 50% of placed students get above this, 50% below. For planning purposes, the median is more realistic than the average. Most domestic SWE roles at IITB CSE fall in the 20–40 LPA range.
5
Does IIT Bombay publish its official CSE placement report?
IIT Bombay's placement office (Student Placement Office or SPO) publishes aggregate placement statistics on their official website. However, detailed branch-wise, company-wise data is not always publicly available in full. The figures cited here are approximations based on publicly available reports, media coverage, and LinkedIn salary data aggregated by researchers.
