Editor's take
2021 was a mostly positive year: 8 of 10 colleges with a median in both 2020 and 2021 reported a rise, and the typical change was +2.7%.
Among MBA colleges, the middle college reports a median of ₹16.55 LPA. IIM Bangalore sits at ₹28.60 LPA, 2.9× the lowest median here (IIM Jammu, ₹10 LPA). IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta and IIM Ahmedabad are at least 17.4% ahead of the next college.
Consulting was the top recruiting sector at 5 of the 16 colleges that published a sector split for 2021.
1 of the 15 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.
