Graphic Era Deemed to be University

What is the average package at Graphic Era Deemed to be University?

Graphic Era Deemed to be University, Dehradun does not publish a single blended average CTC; instead it discloses programme-wise median salaries, and for the 2026 placement season the median package for its flagship 4-year B.Tech sat at Rs 6.75 LPA while the median for the 2-year MBA stood at Rs 6.60 LPA. Far more striking is the ceiling: the highest package in 2026 reached Rs 66.01 LPA (offered by Atlassian to a B.Tech CSE student), up from Rs 61.99 LPA in 2025 and Rs 54.03 LPA in 2024. Roughly 80.70% of eligible students were placed in 2026, compared with 80.00% in 2025, with over 200 recruiters extending close to 6,200 offers. For most aspirants, the realistic "typical" earning at Graphic Era is the median of around Rs 6.5-6.75 LPA for engineering, while computer-science specialists pull the upper averages much higher.

The contrast between a Rs 6.75 LPA median and a Rs 66.01 LPA peak is the single most important thing to understand about Graphic Era placements: a small cluster of elite CSE offers from product companies lifts the headline figures, but the bulk of the batch lands solid mass-recruiter roles in the Rs 4-7 LPA band. Read the rest of this guide branch by branch, because the average you can expect depends almost entirely on which programme you join.

Branch/Course-Wise Package Breakdown

The table below answers the question every applicant actually has: "What will my branch earn at Graphic Era?" It maps each major programme to its verified average, median and highest package, with the relevant placement year attached to every figure. Because Graphic Era reports median (not mean) salaries in its official NIRF disclosures, the median column is the most reliable "typical" number, while the average column is shown only where a portal-verified branch average exists (notably B.Tech CSE and MBA). Read it as: median = what a normal student gets, highest = the rare top offer.

The clear takeaway is that B.Tech CSE is the earnings engine at Graphic Era: its portal-verified average of Rs 24.19 LPA (2025) and Rs 66.01 LPA peak (2026) dwarf every other stream. The MBA average of Rs 12.80 LPA for the AI and Data Science specialisation is the strongest non-engineering outcome, while M.Tech (median Rs 3.30 LPA in 2026) and 3-year UG courses (median Rs 4.20 LPA) sit at the lower end. If maximising package is the goal, B.Tech CSE is the route that the data unambiguously rewards.

Year-Wise Package Trend

This table tracks Graphic Era Deemed to be University's salary trajectory across the last three placement cycles so you can judge momentum, not just a single year. It uses the B.Tech median as the comparable "average" line (since the university reports medians) alongside the verified highest package each year. The question it answers: "Are packages at Graphic Era rising, flat or falling?" Compare the median column for the everyday trend and the highest column for the elite-offer trend.

The trend is consistently upward on both fronts. The B.Tech median climbed from Rs 5.00 LPA (2024) to Rs 6.50 LPA (2025) to Rs 6.75 LPA (2026), a roughly 35% rise over two cycles, while the highest package rose steadily from Rs 54.03 LPA to Rs 61.99 LPA to Rs 66.01 LPA. Placement breadth held firm too, at 80.00% placed in 2025 and 80.70% in 2026. For an applicant in 2026, the signal is that both the typical salary and the dream offer at Graphic Era have improved every year, not spiked and fallen.

Notable Offers & Package Distribution

Graphic Era Deemed to be University's headline offers come from elite product and finance firms: the Rs 66.01 LPA top package of 2026 was extended by Atlassian, the Rs 54.03 LPA peak in 2024 came from Google, and the 2025 ceiling of Rs 61.99 LPA again went to a B.Tech CSE student. Recruiters driving these premium offers include Atlassian, DE Shaw, Microsoft, Google, Visa, JP Morgan, Adobe, Amazon, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, SAP and IBM, while the volume hiring that fills the bulk of the batch comes from Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Oracle, HDFC Bank and Flipkart.

The distribution is sharply two-tiered. A premium tier of single-digit elite offers (Rs 30 LPA and above, peaking at Rs 66.01 LPA in 2026) is concentrated almost entirely in B.Tech CSE and allied computing branches. Below that sits the mass-recruiter tier, where the median engineering offer of around Rs 6.75 LPA (2026) and the broad Rs 4-7 LPA band absorbs the majority of placed students. In raw numbers for 2026, Graphic Era placed 786 of 974 B.Tech graduates and 303 of 393 MBA graduates, while over 200 companies presented close to 6,200 offers across the batch.

What this means for an applicant: the Rs 66 LPA figure on brochures is real but rare, won by a handful of top coders. The dependable outcome is the median, so target the CSE/IT branches and competitive-programming preparation if you want a shot at the premium tier, and treat the Rs 6-7 LPA band as the baseline you can realistically plan around at Graphic Era.
