Salary
The median monthly salary of graduate engineers in engineering roles has increased to Rs 25,000 in the current fiscal, from Rs 22,500 last year, a 11% increase, says a survey by global management consultancy Hay Group. Reports time of India in Jan 2013.
The report analyses remuneration practices in Indian companies with median salaries of fresh graduates in the range of Rs 18,500 to Rs 25,000 effective April 1, 2012. The study looked at 4,18,414 jobs from 410 companies across a host of sectors including industrial goods, chemicals, FMCG, high technology, oil & gas, retail, life sciences, natural resources, consumer durables, education, and utilities.

The engineering sector representative of manufacturing, chemicals, oil and gas, natural resources and high technology has turned out to be good paymasters, attracting campus talent. "There is a positive momentum in salaries of non-IT engineering roles that largely reflects the sentiment of the industry.
