CU engineering placements and university highest offers
For four-year undergraduate engineering in 2024–25, CU recorded 3,011 graduates, 2,258 students placed and 703 selected for higher studies. The median annual salary among placed graduates was ₹8 lakh. These results cover the stated engineering cohort rather than CSE alone.
In 2023–24 there were 2,933 graduates, 1,087 placed students and 614 selected for higher studies. In 2022–23 there were 2,921 graduates, 1,064 placed students and 610 selected for higher studies. The median remained ₹8 lakh in each of the three years, while placed-student counts increased in 2024–25.
Separate university placement highlights show a ₹59.90 lakh national highest offer and ₹1.70 crore annual international highest offer. The university-wide 2024–25 figure is 10,000-plus placement offers. Offers and distinct students placed are different counts. Recruiters named for engineering include Microsoft, Amazon, IBM, Hewlett Packard, SAP Labs, Samsung, L&T, Arcesium, Wipro and Flipkart.

CSE study cost compared with the engineering median
The stated CSE academic total is ₹12.24 lakh. Four years of five-sharing non-AC accommodation, using the ₹2,000 annual increase, adds ₹4.92 lakh. The combined subtotal is ₹17.16 lakh before the application payment, deposits and any separately billed charges.
Against the ₹8 lakh annual median for the 2024–25 four-year engineering cohort, that cost has a ratio of about 2.15. This compares a degree’s study cost with one year of gross salary for a previous cohort. It does not predict a CSE graduate’s salary, take-home pay or time to repay a loan.
Student accounts of placement guidance and practical study
The student reviews describe faculty support, technical and cultural events and placement guidance. They also call for more practical teaching. These experiences concern preparation and access to opportunities during their own studies.
Classroom experience and placement outcomes are related but measured differently. The engineering disclosure counts distinct students placed and states the graduating year; a company offer total can include more than one offer per student.

Are the highest offers average packages?
No. ₹59.90 lakh nationally and ₹1.70 crore internationally are highest offers. They are separate from a cohort median or average.
