How to read this

Figures are first-year total CTC. It often includes joining bonuses and stock that pay out once or over several years, so take-home is lower — each card’s note says where that matters.
A company’s bracket comes from the middle of its range, and switches with the track you pick.
“Same band as IIT hires” means non-IIT hires join on the same offer — getting in is harder, the pay isn’t lower.
Confidence reflects how many recent sources agree. “Indicative” figures rest on one or two reports.

Where the numbers come from

Compiled from public reports of recent placement seasons — IIT/NIT and tier-2 college placement reports, press coverage, company hiring-programme pages and self-reported offers — cross-checked across sources, which each card lists. Salaries vary by role, location and year; treat these as a guide, not an offer.
