What full stack developers earn in Bangalore 

How the bands are structured

Fresher compensation sorts by company type rather than by skill. Services and consulting firms hire the most people and cluster lower: our TCS placements have come in between ₹7.5 and ₹9.09 LPA as System Engineers. Product and enterprise firms hire far fewer at materially higher numbers: ₹16 LPA at Infosys, ₹13 LPA at Target and at BEL, ₹18 LPA at SAP.

This is the most important thing to understand about fresher salary, and why a headline number without context is meaningless. The distribution isn't a bell curve around an average; it's clusters, and which one you land in is decided by the process you clear.

What actually moves your number

Roughly in order of impact:

• Which company's process you clear, dominant by a wide margin
• Interview performance, especially DSA and explaining your reasoning
• Whether your projects survive follow-up questioning
• Your college tier, which still affects shortlisting at some firms
• Communication, consistently underrated and decisive in final rounds
• The language you learned, genuinely marginal at fresher level

Being sceptical about salary claims

Treat any institute quoting a single average CTC with suspicion, including us if we did. An average is trivially inflated by excluding unplaced students or quoting maximum rather than median. Ask what it's averaged over and how many people are in it.

We publish individual outcomes instead (name, college, company, role, package) because individual records can be checked and an average can't.
