Placement packages vary significantly by college and specialization. As per 2024 reports: IIM Ahmedabad’s average CTC was ₹35.5 LPA with a highest of ₹1.53 CPA; IIM Bangalore averaged ₹36.1 LPA (highest ₹1.2 CPA); IIM Calcutta averaged ₹35.07 LPA (highest ₹1.2 CPA). XLRI (HRM) averaged ₹30.52 LPA; SPJIMR averaged ₹30.54 LPA; FMS Delhi, despite low fees, reported ₹25.6 LPA average due to strong ROI. Newer IIMs average ₹15–22 LPA. Consulting, finance, and product management roles typically offer the highest packages. It’s important to note that 'CTC' includes bonuses, ESOPs, and allowances—take-home salary may be 30–40% lower. ROI, alumni network, and sector-wise placement strength are often better indicators than just average salary.
