Jadavpur University

Jadavpur University in Kolkata, West Bengal, holds 934 teaching staff for 10,816 students, and its engineering programmes are backed by a placement record that has stayed fairly steady across recent years. In NIRF 2025, it ranked #18 Overall (score 64.34), #18 in Engineering (score 64.54), and #24 in Pharmacy (score 62.18), putting it among institutions tracked across three separate categories rather than one.

Placement outcomes are strongest in the four-year engineering UG programme: of 868 graduates in 2023-24, 790 were placed, at a median salary of 10.5 LPA, close to the 948 of 1,078 placed in 2022-23 (10 LPA) and 843 of 992 in 2021-22 (10 LPA). Engineering PG placements ran lower in proportion: 169 of 311 in 2023-24 at a median of 9.25 LPA. Pharmacy placements were smaller in scale but consistent, with 30 of 47 UG graduates placed in 2023-24 at 5.54 LPA and 36 of 47 PG graduates placed at 5.63 LPA.

The general UG streams show a different pattern: in the three-year overall UG programme, only 32 of 453 graduates were placed in 2023-24 at a median of 5.75 LPA, and in the five-year overall UG programme, 18 of 30 were placed at 6 LPA, figures worth weighing against the engineering numbers when comparing programmes at the same university.
