Editor's take
Among NITs, the middle college reports a median of ₹12 LPA. NIT Warangal sits at ₹15 LPA, 1.7× the lowest median here (MNIT Jaipur, ₹9 LPA). NIT Durgapur (3rd) and NITK Surathkal (4th) are within 1.3% of each other, so small gaps in rank don't mean much.
3 of the 8 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.
1 of the 8 NITs 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.
