Per the IQAC-audited Academic and Administrative Audit Report 2022-23 (Criterion 4), the engineering placement record for the 2018-2022 cycle at ACED is: 90.2 % placement rate, ₹16,00,000 highest CTC, and ₹5,29,000 average CTC. The earlier 2014-2018 cycle closed at 42.2 % placement rate. Headline figures like ₹60.1 LPA published on the homepage / engineering school page refer to university-wide marketing (likely MBA outlier), not the audited engineering aggregate.
