Key takeaways
Average CTC rose 14.8%
Average CTC rose from ₹17.49 LPA in the prior cycle to ₹20.08 LPA this year (+14.8%). 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 35.46%
Engineering & Technology accounted for 35.46% of offers, or 428 offers, the largest sector share in this 2020 report. The next sector, IT/Software, sat at 17.56% (212 offers), so the gap between first and second is 17.9 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 53% of offers
Engineering & Technology and IT/Software together made up 53% of offers, a concentrated recruiter mix. Analytics was a distant third at 11.02%. Concentration is not automatically good or bad, but it does mean batch-level averages can mask thinner opportunity in secondary functions.
83.6% of the eligible batch placed
1207 of 1444 eligible students accepted offers through the campus process (83.6%), with 237 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.
159 international offers (13.2%)
159 of 1207 offers were international (13.2%). 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.
