The Rs.1.6 Crore (2025) and Rs.1.7 Crore (2026) headlines are for exceptional individual placements — not the average. Realistic breakdown: 600+ companies and 150+ MNCs visit; 91% B.Tech placed; NIRF reported UG 4-year median Rs.4 LPA (2025 data); student honest review shows most CSE students get Rs.3–6 LPA from mass recruiters (Cognizant, TCS, Accenture, Infosys). Premium placements Rs.8–12 LPA available for top CGPA students at companies like BCG, DE Shaw, Arcesium, American Express, Barclays. Very top performers (top 5%) can get Rs.15+ LPA. The Rs.1.6 Crore figure is a Silicon Valley startup outlier. For a realistic budget: plan for Rs.6–8 LPA as the engineering average post-Sharda. MBA average: Rs.6–8 LPA.

Students become eligible for placements from the 7th semester (4th year, Semester 1). CGPA requirement: most companies require 6.0+ CGPA with no active backlogs. Premium companies (BCG, DE Shaw, Arcesium, American Express, Barclays) typically require 7.5+ CGPA. Student practical experience: building coding skills (LeetCode, competitive programming) and securing internships are more important for premium placements than CGPA alone. Students with CGPA 6.0–7.0 typically get mass recruiters (Cognizant, TCS, Accenture, Infosys) at Rs.3–5 LPA. Students with CGPA 7.5+ with good skills get Rs.8–15 LPA from mid-tier tech companies. In 2024, a notable Sharda student self-upskilled in Data Analysis (certifications + internships) and landed a Data Analyst role in Gurgaon at Rs.8+ LPA despite an average campus placement environment that year.
