University of Hyderabad

Hyderabad's public university placed #26 in the NIRF Overall 2025 rankings, with a score of 60.32 out of 100, and #74 in NIRF Engineering 2025, scoring 49.36 out of 100 -- a gap that suggests its reputation rests more on its broader academic offerings than on engineering alone. The university has 2,797 students taught by 428 faculty members, which works out to a fairly low student-teacher ratio. Placement outcomes vary a good deal by programme. In the 2023-24 cycle, all 16 graduates of the two-year Engineering PG programme were placed, at a median salary of 15 LPA. The picture is different for the broader three-year PG cohort: of 126 graduates that year, only 40 were placed, at a median salary of 6.25 LPA. The previous two years show similar unevenness -- in 2022-23, 8 of 16 Engineering PG graduates were placed at a median of 5 LPA, while 53 of 161 Overall PG graduates found placements at 6 LPA; in 2021-22, 16 of 20 Engineering PG students were placed at 8 LPA, against 23 of 188 for the Overall PG group at 7.3 LPA.

For anyone weighing this university, the Engineering PG numbers point to a small, well-placed cohort, while the wider PG placement rates suggest that outcomes depend heavily on which programme a student enters.
