Why Placement Brochures Lie
Every IIM publishes impressive average salary figures. IIM Ahmedabad claims Rs 35 LPA average. But average is misleading when a few Rs 1 crore consulting offers pull the number up. The median at IIM A is closer to Rs 28 LPA.
WHY MBA 360 collects salary data directly from MBA graduates through anonymous crowd-sourced reports. We show median CTC, not average. We break down by sector.
