NIT-Warangal student bags ₹1.27 crore package as undergraduate placement rate hits record 93.75% in 2026

Picture this.

A campus in Telangana. A regular placement season. And then… a single offer letter lands.

₹1.27 crore. Per year. Domestic package.

That's not an IIT Bombay story.

That's not a Stanford alum story.

That's Nayan Tyagi, a Computer Science student at NIT Warangal.

And he's not alone.

🚀 The class of 2026 just rewrote the record book

NIT Warangal closed its 2025-26 placement season with numbers that look almost unreal:

And Nayan wasn't the only crorepati on campus.

Mohammed Nahil Nashwan from ECE pocketed a clean ₹1 crore offer.

Electronics. Not even CSE. Let that sink in.

Here's how the offers stacked up this season:

For context — the highest UG package here was ₹88 lakh in 2024.

Then ₹64.3 lakh in 2025.

Now ₹1.27 crore in 2026.

That's not a jump.

That's a vertical takeoff.

Look at the sector split and the story tells itself:

Core engineering quietly outranking software? Interesting.

India's chip ambitions, EV boom, and deep-tech push are pulling ECE and mechanical talent back into the spotlight.

And recruiters aren't just camping at IITs anymore.

The top NITs are now playing in the same salary league — Nayan's ₹1.27 crore sits right next to what IIT Delhi's top domestic offers touched in 2025.

Indian tech hiring isn't dead.

It just got selective. Brutally selective.

The top 1% of campus talent is getting paid like Bay Area engineers. The rest are fighting harder than ever.

But if you're a 21-year-old from Warangal who can ship code, design chips, or model data…

The market just told you exactly what you're worth.

And it's a lot more than your parents ever imagined.

That's all for now!
