Each IIM has a Student Placement Committee comprising the current batch working with the Placement Office of the institute to conduct the process. In 2026, IIMA (392 out of 392 students seeking placement), IIM Calcutta (458 students) and a few others had reported 100% placements of students who went through the placement process. IIM Calcutta had recorded the highest domestic package of ₹1.45 Crore per annum.

Names like Accenture Strategy, Boston Consulting Group, McKinsey, Bain & Company, Goldman Sachs, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Deloitte, EY, PwC and Kearney were some of the recruiters from across campuses. Alongside them, many of the newer-age firms and startups like Razorpay, Meesho, Navi, Eternal, Shadowfax, and a few others were present as first-timers across multiple campuses.

The consulting sector was once again the largest recruiter in terms of offer percentages (45% at IIM Bangalore, about 38-39% at IIM Calcutta, IIM Ahmedabad, and IIM Lucknow), with finance/BFSI, technology/product, general management, and marketing being next to follow. The average packages across the top IIMs have grown around 2-5% when compared to the previous year, with median packages approaching the average numbers.

Point on interpreting the figures: The salary reported by IIM Ahmedabad (IIM Udaipur, IIM Bodh Gaya) follows the standard Indian Placement Reporting Standards (IPRS) set up for the IIM placement reports in India and is termed Maximum Earning Potential (MEP), unlike CTC, which other IIMs use. The highest package is not given out by IIM Bangalore.
