Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad: 2024 Placement Report
IIM Ahmedabad (IIM A) 2024 placement report: CTC, recruiters, and sector data from the official release.
Numbers
Editorial review
Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad's 2024 placement cycle: 121 of 147 eligible PGPX students accepted offers from 105 recruiters, with a median maximum earning potential of Rs 35 lakh; Consulting led sector share at 21.5%; median CTC printed at ₹35 LPA. The longer reading and numbered takeaways below unpack what that means for sector mix, recruiter depth, and how to read average versus median.
Consulting was the single largest sector at 21.5% of offers (26), ahead of IT Consulting (13.2%, 16) and IT Solutions (11.6%, 14), though the three IT-labelled categories, IT Consulting, IT Solutions and IT Software, together account for 31.4% of offers when combined, edging out Consulting as the broader functional theme; BFSI (10.7%, 13) and Pharmaceutical/Healthcare (9.9%, 12) followed as the next tier, with Energy, Manufacturing, Automotive and Telecom each in the single digits.
The top recruiters list reflects that spread rather than a single dominant employer type: Accenture, Persistent Systems and Cognizant represent IT, McKinsey and KPMG bring consulting, Eli Lilly represents pharma, Adani Group, RPG Group and Shell add energy and conglomerate hiring, and Amazon rounds out tech, a genuinely cross-sector roster for a one-year executive cohort. With offersCount and studentsPlaced both at 121, the batch converted essentially one offer per placed student, and of the 105 recruiters that participated, that works out to roughly 1.15 offers per recruiter on average, a far tighter ratio than a campus with many multi-offer recruiters would show.
Only 2 of the 121 offers were international, a modest share suggesting PGPX placements in this cycle were overwhelmingly domestic. This report covers PGPX (the one-year executive MBA), not IIM Ahmedabad's flagship two-year PGP, since that's what the institute's own placement portal had published as an audited report. Of 147 students eligible for placements, 126 sought placement through the institute (21 did not) and 121 of those accepted offers, a 96% conversion rate among students who actively sought placement.
Key takeaways
Consulting led the batch at 21.5%
Consulting accounted for 21.5% of offers, or 26 offers, the largest sector share in this 2024 report. The next sector, IT Consulting, sat at 13.2% (16 offers), so the gap between first and second is 8.3 percentage points. If your target function sits outside this lead sector, treat the headline placement rate as a campus-wide figure rather than a guarantee for your preferred cohort.
82.3% of the eligible batch placed
121 of 147 eligible students accepted offers through the campus process (82.3%), with 26 opting out or taking paths outside the reported pool. High conversion is the headline; the more useful follow-up is whether your preferred sector and role type showed up in the sector split and recruiter list below.
International offers stayed rare
2 of 121 offers were international (1.7%). That share is small enough that domestic packages define the typical story. Crore-plus overseas headlines, when they appear, usually sit in this thin tail rather than in the median.
105 recruiters, led by Accenture
105 firms participated for 121 offers, about 1.2 offers per recruiter on average. Accenture topped the named list, followed by Persistent Systems, Adani Group, and RPG Group. Offer concentration among a few brand-name firms is common at top campuses; check whether your target employers actually appear in this list rather than assuming brand gravity alone.
Average sits above the median
Average CTC (₹37.57 LPA) sits about ₹2.6 LPA above the median (₹35 LPA). That gap usually means a smaller set of higher offers pulled the mean up, so the median is the safer read on a typical package for this 2024 batch.
