Overview
Located in Pune, Maharashtra, the Defence Institute of Advanced Technology runs engineering programmes with 437 students and 63 teaching staff, giving a fairly low student-to-faculty ratio. It placed #92 in the NIRF Engineering 2025 rankings, with a score of 46.98 out of 100.
Placement figures for the two-year Engineering PG programme have varied across recent years. In 2021-22, 208 of 215 graduates were placed, with a median salary of 19.5 LPA. In 2022-23, 265 of 295 graduates were placed at a median salary of 20 LPA. In 2023-24, the numbers dropped to 156 placed out of 220 graduates, with median salary falling to 9.29 LPA.
These figures are worth weighing together: placement rates have stayed above 70% each year, but both the proportion placed and the median salary fell sharply in 2023-24 compared to the two years before it. Anyone considering this programme should look closely at that recent shift alongside the institute's NIRF standing.
