The longer reading and numbered takeaways below unpack what that means for sector mix, recruiter depth, and how to read average versus median.
Consulting led the domain split at 27%, just ahead of Finance at 26% and Sales & Marketing at 22%, with General Management at 15% and IT at 10% rounding out the offers. The highest international package (Rs 89.25 LPA) was more than double the highest domestic package (Rs 40.5 LPA), a reported 41% increase in the highest CTC over the previous year.
Average CTC rose a reported 14% year on year to Rs 20.79 LPA, and the median CTC climbed to Rs 19.4 LPA, with 132 students securing Pre-Placement Offers. Average CTC for the top 50 offers reached Rs 30.04 LPA and Rs 28.47 LPA for the top 100, both well above the batch-wide average.
Legacy recruiters like Avalon Consulting, Boston Consulting Group, Bain Capability Centre, Cognizant Business Consulting, Deloitte USI, Ernst & Young and PwC hired in good numbers, while McKinsey & Company returned to campus after a brief hiatus. Bulge-bracket investment banks including Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase & Co continued their long-term association with IIM Indore in the finance domain.
The 607-student figure combines 440 core PGP, 96 Dual Degree and 71 PGP Mumbai participants, described by the institute as the highest across any B-school in India that year; a PGP-only breakdown is not given separately.

That is a material move for Indian Institute of Management, Indore aspirants reading this report as a signal of typical outcomes, especially for median, which is less skewed by a handful of outlier offers than average or highest CTC.
Consulting led the batch at 27%
Consulting accounted for 27% of offers, the largest sector share in this 2019 report. The next sector, Finance, sat at 26%, so the gap between first and second is 1 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.
Top two sectors took 53% of offers
Consulting and Finance together made up 53% of offers, a concentrated recruiter mix. Sales and Marketing was a distant third at 22%. Concentration is not automatically good or bad, but it does mean batch-level averages can mask thinner opportunity in secondary functions.
100% of the eligible batch placed
607 of 607 eligible students accepted offers through the campus process (100%). With essentially full participation in the reported pool, the next question is how those offers were distributed across sectors and pay bands rather than whether a seat converted.
Average sits above the median
Average CTC (₹20.79 LPA) sits about ₹1.4 LPA above the median (₹19.40 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 2019 batch.
