DTU Awards 7,896 Degrees; Highest Placement Package Reaches Rs 64 Lakh
Delhi Technological University (DTU) conferred 7,896 degrees at its 12th annual convocation, covering students from the 2024–25 and 2025–26 academic years. The degrees included undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral qualifications. At the ceremony, the university also highlighted placement figures from its 2025–26 annual report, including a highest annual package of Rs 64 lakh.
DTU convocation 2026: degree tally
| Degree level | Degrees conferred |
|---|---|
| Undergraduate | 5,653 |
| Postgraduate | 1,937 |
| Doctoral | 306 |
| Total | 7,896 |
The 306 doctoral degrees were reported as DTU’s highest-ever number of PhD degrees conferred at a convocation. The combined tally reflects two academic years, so it should not be read as the graduating class size for a single year.
DTU placement figures for 2025–26
| Placement measure | Reported figure |
|---|---|
| Companies visiting for placements | 348 |
| Job offers | 1,833 |
| Highest annual package | Rs 64 lakh |
| Average package | Rs 15.04 lakh |
The Rs 64 lakh figure is the highest annual package reported for the placement year; it is not a typical salary or a guarantee for every graduate. The average package provides broader context, though individual outcomes can vary by programme, specialisation, student profile and employer.
