Average CTC rose 21.4%
Average CTC rose from ₹13.38 LPA in the prior cycle to ₹16.25 LPA this year (+21.4%). That is a material move for Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay aspirants reading this report as a signal of typical outcomes, especially for median, which is less skewed by a handful of outlier offers than average or highest CTC.
Engineering & Technology led the batch at 29.43%
Engineering & Technology accounted for 29.43% of offers, or 324 offers, the largest sector share in this 2018 report. The next sector, IT/Software, sat at 16.08% (177 offers), so the gap between first and second is 13.4 percentage points. If your target function sits outside this lead sector, treat the headline placement rate as a campus-wide figure rather than a guarantee for your preferred cohort.
Top two sectors took 46% of offers
Engineering & Technology and IT/Software together made up 45.5% of offers, a concentrated recruiter mix. Analytics was a distant third at 12.63%. Concentration is not automatically good or bad, but it does mean batch-level averages can mask thinner opportunity in secondary functions.
73.6% of the eligible batch placed
1101 of 1495 eligible students accepted offers through the campus process (73.6%), with 394 opting out or taking paths outside the reported pool. High conversion is the headline; the more useful follow-up is whether your preferred sector and role type showed up in the sector split and recruiter list below.
75 international offers (6.8%)
75 of 1101 offers were international (6.8%). That share is large enough to notice, but still a minority of outcomes. Crore-plus overseas headlines, when they appear, usually sit in this thin tail rather than in the median.
294 recruiters participated
294 firms participated for 1101 offers, about 3.7 offers per recruiter on average. Offer concentration among a few brand-name firms is common at top campuses; check whether your target employers actually appear in this list rather than assuming brand gravity alone.
