After a certain number of years of experience, the salary of
a computer engineer can go up to Rs 15 to 20 lakhs per year or sometimes even
more.
Talking about India, service-based IT companies here pay
computer engineers on an average between Rs 3.5 to 4 lakh per year.
The names of companies like TCS, Infosys, Cognizant,
Capgemini, Tech Mahindra and Wipro etc. come in these companies.
All these companies can usually say during campus placement
that they hire in bulk.
And in the beginning the salary is generally less. But later
it also increases.
Apart from these companies, there are also some Tier 3
companies, such as MuSigma, Fusion Chart, etc., which pay around 7-10 lakh
rupees annually to computer engineers.
Apart from this, candidates studying computer engineering
can take jobs not only in India but also in the world's biggest tech companies
such as Google, Microsoft, Apple and Amazon etc.
And over there the salary can easily remain from 25 to 40

recruitment is also of very few candidates.
