KIET Ghaziabad consistently publishes some of the most detailed placement data among AKTU-affiliated colleges. The 2025 numbers tell a story worth understanding carefully — especially if you’re comparing KIET against AKGEC, JSS Noida, or IPU colleges like MAIT.

Branch-wise Placement Breakdown
CSE (AI) – Highest Paying Branch
Placement rate: 68.66 percent. Highest package: Rs 60 LPA from Amazon. Average CTC: Rs 6.62 LPA. Key recruiters: Amazon, Microsoft, Atlassian, ServiceNow, Cisco. The presence of Atlassian and ServiceNow signals quality product and enterprise software company hiring — not just the usual service-sector bulk. The 68 percent rate means roughly 31 percent of CSE-AI students went unplaced through campus — an honest number to factor in.
CSE (AIML) – Second Highest Package
Highest package: Rs 45.64 LPA (2nd overall at KIET 2025). Key recruiters: Deloitte, Fractal, Samsung, UKG, Accenture. Fractal and Samsung reflect genuine data science and AI-focused hiring. Strong choice for students targeting analytics or ML-adjacent roles.
CSE Core
Highest package: Rs 24 LPA (3rd highest overall). Average CTC: Rs 6.23 LPA, up 9.53 percent from 2024. Key recruiters: TCS, Wipro, Capgemini, HCL, S&P Global, ION Trading. S&P Global and ION Trading are financial technology firms that pay above market — their presence distinguishes KIET CSE from generic IT-service-only recruiters.
EEE – Highest Placement Rate
This is the data point that surprises most people. EEE has the highest placement rate of any branch at KIET 2025 at 83.65 percent, and has maintained 90 percent or above for five consecutive years. Recruiters include Bosch, JSW, Adani, and Tally. Average CTC is Rs 4.5 to 5 LPA — lower than CSE, but the certainty of placement for EEE students is actually higher than for CSE. For students targeting core engineering roles with consistent job security, EEE at KIET is worth serious consideration.
IT
Highest package: Rs 45.64 LPA on-campus. Average CTC: roughly Rs 5.5 LPA. Heavier service-company composition than CSE-AI. IT at KIET is the “reliable” branch — high placement volume, steady packages, less variance at the top.
MCA
Placed: 155 students. Rate: 76.35 percent (up from 65.77 percent in 2024). Highest package: Rs 16.42 LPA (up 21.18 percent YoY). Average: Rs 3.63 LPA. Strong improvement trajectory — a reasonable path into software for non-B.Tech students.

Honest Assessment
KIET is not a safe backup — it has earned genuine recognition among NCR-region tech recruiters. The Rs 60 LPA from Amazon reflects real product-company traction. But the Rs 5.44 LPA overall average means the median KIET graduate is not landing a high-value role. Strong students who build skills independently have the recruiter access to reach Rs 15 to 25 LPA here. Students who rely solely on college support will land at Rs 4 to 5 LPA on average.
KIET’s fees are on the higher side relative to GCET or GL Bajaj, but the placement data justifies that premium for students targeting CSE or CSE-AI specifically.
