Editor's take
2018 was a mixed year: 2 of 4 colleges with a median in both 2017 and 2018 reported a rise, and the typical change was +1.2%.
Among MBA colleges, the middle college reports a median of ₹13 LPA. IIM Ahmedabad sits at ₹23 LPA, 2.2× the lowest median here (IIM Amritsar, ₹10.50 LPA). IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore and IIM Kozhikode are at least 23.1% ahead of the next college.
Consulting was the top recruiting sector at 2 of the 12 colleges that published a sector split for 2018.
3 of the 10 MBA colleges publish only an average CTC. Averages usually run above medians, so those colleges are listed after the ones ranked by median.
To shortlist, start with the median, then open each college's report and check the sector split and batch size. A high median earned mostly in one sector matters less if you want a role in another.
