Editorial review
Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad's 2022 placement cycle: 382 of 385 eligible PGP students accepted offers from 190 recruiters, with a median maximum earning potential of Rs 31,59,000; Consulting led sector share at 53.4%; median CTC rose +14.5% versus the prior year. The longer reading and numbered takeaways below unpack what that means for sector mix, recruiter depth, and how to read average versus median.
Consulting dominated the 2022 cycle even more than in surrounding years, taking 53.4% of all offers (204), with BFSI a distant second at 19.6% (75). FMCG (6.0%) and a pair of sectors tied at 3.1% each, Engineering/Technology and Retail B2B & B2C, rounded out the next tier, leaving the remaining sectors each below 2.5% of offers.
Boston Consulting Group (44 offers) and Bain & Company (37 offers) led the consulting cohort by a wide margin, while PayTM (20 offers) topped the laterals process ahead of PwC (13) and American Express (11), reflecting a placement season where both fresh and experience-based hiring skewed toward a small number of very active recruiters.
With 382 offers accepted against 190 participating recruiters, that is roughly 2.0 offers per recruiter on average, similar in shape to the following year. Only 7 of the 382 offers were international (1.8%), spread across Dubai, Hong Kong and Mexico City, confirming this remained a largely domestic placement cycle. Of the 385 students eligible for placement, 382 accepted offers through the institute, a 99.2% conversion rate, with just 3 students opting out.
