Editor's take
Among IITs, the middle college reports a median of ₹17.96 LPA. IIT Delhi sits at ₹22.51 LPA, 1.6× the lowest median here (IIT Gandhinagar, ₹14 LPA). IIT Mandi (3rd) and IIT Ropar (4th) are within 2.8% of each other, so small gaps in rank don't mean much.
8 of the 13 colleges here haven't released a report in the last two years, so their figures are older than the leaders'. Packages tend to rise over time, so an older figure may understate current pay.
5 of the 13 IITs publish only an average CTC. Averages usually run above medians, so those colleges are listed after the ones ranked by median.
To shortlist, start with the median, then open each college's report and check the sector split and batch size. A high median earned mostly in one sector matters less if you want a role in another.
