The year the average CTC (cost to company) stood at ₹25.68 LPA and the median CTC stood at ₹24.50 LPA. It was informed that the highest compensation offered on campus stood at ₹1 crore per annum.
IIM-I Director Himanshu Rai said, "We strongly believe that integrating academia and industry is crucial for students' welfare and have made consistent efforts to bridge the gap. Our students' ability to secure fulfilling career opportunities, despite ongoing economic uncertainties, underscores the efficacy of our philosophy."
This year more than 50 new recruiters have joined hands with IIM Indore, he added.
