PG - 2 Year programmes had a high placement rate of 94.5% (2021-22), 93.2% (2022-23) and 86.9% (2023-24) and median salary increased to INR 7.50 LPA equivalent to INR 7.75 LPA. UG - 3 Year improvements were consistent in the percentage of placements and median salary increases (76.9% - 83.7%), as well as in INR 3.30 LPA - INR 4.10 LPA. UG - 4 Year course programmes had very high salary standards that grew between INR 8 LPA and INR 8.50 LPA even in the face of placement ratio changes.
Top recruiting companies are widely dispersed across technology, consulting, BFSI, FMCG and core engineering industries representing diversified recruiting interest. Moreover, every year, a significant portion of students choose to continue their studies, which emphasizes the academic and career development options.
The placement data of the Chitkara University during 3 graduating cycles (2021-22 to 2023-24) indicates that the employability outcomes are similar both in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. PG programmes especially PG - 2 Years are outstanding in terms of placement stability with 94.5 (2021-22), 93.2 (2022-23) and 86.9 (2023-24) placement stability. The median wages of these groups also have a consistent increase of between INR 7.50 LPA equivalent (INR 750000) and INR 775000.
UG - 3 Years is one of the UG programmes that is characterized by an apparent upward trend in percentage employment rates: 76.9% - 78.9% - 83.7%. The median salaries also increased appropriately, as the INR 330000 changed to INR 410000 meaning that the recruiter has become more confident with shorter term programmes like the BBA, BCA and related areas.
The UG - 4 Years category that incorporates major professional programmes such as B.E. has high placement rates but constant fluctuation: 86.0% (2021-22), 79.9% (2022-23) and 72.8% (2023-24). Irrespective of this fluctuation, median salaries rose steadily between INR 800000 and INR 850000 which indicates that despite changes in the placement ratios, the quality of compensation maintained its strong position.
The 5-year integrated UGs showed each recovery following a decline in 2021-22 (65.5 to 80.9), with median salary also on the rise (INR 625000 - INR 730000). The number of higher studies is significant in the UG -4 Years (452 Students in 2023-24) that is due to the balanced representation of placements and academic progression.
