Editor's take
2026 was a mostly positive year: 5 of 6 colleges with a median in both 2025 and 2026 reported a rise, and the typical change was +5%.
Among MBA colleges, the middle college reports a median of ₹22 LPA. IIM Ahmedabad sits at ₹37 LPA, 2.6× the lowest median here (IIM Bodh Gaya, ₹14 LPA). TISS Mumbai (3rd) and IIM Shillong (4th) are within 7.7% of each other, so small gaps in rank don't mean much.
Consulting was the top recruiting sector at 4 of the 8 colleges that published a sector split for 2026.
2 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.
