IIMs are the ones sitting at the top when it comes to placement statistics in India. If you want to be among the crème of the crop, then, according to various reports, it's IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta that command the maximum average salary packages, which can exceed 30 Lakhs an annum. The value of the brand IIM matters a lot in the job market, and companies from across the globe recruit students from these campuses.
Besides the IIMs, the other premium institutes that feature in the league table include XLRI Jamshedpur and ISB Hyderabad. The other institutes that do quite well are SPJIMR Mumbai and FMS Delhi, which have consistently had high median package numbers often crossing 20 Lakhs.
It is not necessarily about the numbers, though. Roles exist, companies recruit on campus, and schools may boast amazing placement stats for certain industries—say consulting, finance, or tech. Depends on the kind of career you want to build after your MBA; therefore, don't just look at the average salary and placement rate but also pay attention to industry connections and alumni networks.
