What is the salary in Computer Engineering?

 

If we talk directly about the salary in computer engineering, then on an average, a computer engineer can expect a starting salary of Rs 4 to 5 lakhs per year. Which makes an average of 35-40 thousand rupees monthly.

 

Now obviously this is just an average salary, that is, the salary of computer engineers can be different from this.

 

Sometimes you can get to see the starting salary even less, while in a good company etc. the starting salary can also be very good.

 

The average starting salary can range from 3 to 5 lakh rupees per year, and then as your work experience increases so does your salary.

 

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 lakh rupees per year.

 

But getting a job in these companies is a bit difficult because one, these companies recruit in a short period of time and the recruitment is also of very few candidates.

 

Salary in computer engineering depends on –

In areas like software development, networking, computer engineers can easily take jobs with a good salary package.

Your salary as a fresher depends a lot on your college apart from your knowledge and skills.
