Numbers
Editorial review
Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow's 2022 placement cycle: IIM Lucknow achieved 100% placement for its 491-student PGP36/PGP-ABM17 batch of 2020-22, securing 534 offers at an average CTC of Rs 31.03 lakh; median CTC rose +23.4% 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.
IIM Lucknow's PGP36/PGP-ABM17 batch of 2020-22 secured 534 offers for 491 students, a ratio of about 1.09 offers per student, with the entire placement process conducted virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Accenture Strategy and Deloitte India tied as the top recruiters with 34 offers each, followed by Amazon (24), Bain & Co. (23) and Boston Consulting Group (22), with Deloitte's US offices and PwC US also placing high in the count, a spread leaning heavily on consulting and Big Four firms. More than 150 recruiters participated overall. The Rs 31.03 lakh average CTC sat just above the Rs 29 lakh median, a fairly tight gap suggesting a relatively even distribution rather than one skewed by a small number of very high offers. The highest domestic offer of Rs 58 lakh was slightly below the Rs 61.59 lakh highest international offer. Sector participation spanned BFSI (Avendus Capital, Citi, Goldman Sachs, HSBC), consulting and general management (Accenture Strategy, Bain & Co., BCG, Aditya Birla Group), FMCG (Asian Paints, Colgate Palmolive, ITC) and IT/e-commerce (Adobe, Amazon, Flipkart, Microsoft), though the source did not break these sectors down by percentage or offer count, so no sectorSplit is reported here. Placements were run in two tiers, a Higher Entry Placement Process for candidates with a year or more of prior work experience and a Final Placement Process open to all candidates.
