Editor's take
Among IIMs, the middle college reports a median of ₹18 LPA. IIM Ahmedabad sits at ₹37 LPA, 2.6× the lowest median here (IIM Bodh Gaya, ₹14 LPA). IIM Kozhikode (3rd) and IIM Shillong (4th) are within 5.8% of each other, so small gaps in rank don't mean much.
3 of the 20 colleges here haven't released a report in the last two years, so their figures are older than the leaders'. Packages tend to rise over time, so an older figure may understate current pay.
4 of the 20 IIMs 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.
