The 2024-26 report gives no placed count
FORE's Placement Report 2026 lists the batch size and the recruiters. It does not say how many students got offers, and it gives no placement percentage. FORE's NIRF submission gives 441 placed out of 464 graduates for the earlier 2023-25 batch. FORE has not given a placed count for 2024-26.
FORE Placement Trend, 2023-25 and 2024-26
| Measure | Batch 2023-25 | Batch 2024-26 |
|---|---|---|
| Highest CTC | ₹29 LPA | ₹26.45 LPA |
| Average CTC | ₹16.4 LPA | ₹16.52 LPA |
| Median CTC | ₹15.2 LPA | ₹16.20 LPA |
| Recruiters | 138 | 142 |
| Batch size | 466 | 720 |
The median rose by ₹1 lakh, or about 7%. The highest offer fell by ₹2.55 lakh. The batch grew from 466 to 720 students. FORE's admissions portal still shows the 2023-25 highlights: highest ₹29 LPA, average ₹16.80 LPA and median ₹15.20 LPA. The 2023-25 report itself gives an average of ₹16.4 LPA.

The highest CTC is about 1.6 times the median. That is a narrow spread, so the median is a fair number for budgeting. Is the highest FORE package a realistic outcome for most students? No. Only a few students get the top offer. The median of ₹16.20 LPA is the better guide.
How Many Students Did FORE Place?
FORE's Placement Report 2026 does not publish a placed count for the batch of 2024-26. It says 142 companies recruited and 206 visited. FORE's NIRF submission gives the latest placed count, for the 2023-25 graduates. It shows 441 of 464 placed, or about 95%, with a median salary of ₹17.12 lakh. FORE's Placement Report 2025 gave ₹15.2 lakh as the median for that batch. FORE does not explain the gap.
FORE Salary Packages 2026
FORE's report classifies pay for the entire batch and for its top 10%, 25% and 50%:
| Group | Average CTC | Median CTC |
|---|---|---|
| Entire batch | ₹16,52,238 | ₹16,20,000 |
| Top 50 percentile | ₹19,25,138 | ₹18,90,000 |
| Top 25 percentile | ₹22,02,191 | ₹21,60,000 |
| Top 10 percentile | ₹23,69,171 | ₹24,30,000 |
Is the FORE Average CTC Reliable?
The average and the median sit within 2% of each other. The average is ₹16,52,238 and the median is ₹16,20,000, a gap of ₹32,238. A large gap would mean a few high offers pull the average up. Here the highest offer, ₹26.45 LPA, is only about 60% above the average.
The top half of the batch averaged ₹19.25 lakh. On that figure, the bottom half averaged about ₹13.79 lakh. That is our calculation, and it assumes two equal halves. FORE does not publish a bottom-half figure. The overview page of the report says the average is ₹16.53 LPA, while its table gives ₹16,52,238. We use the table.
FORE Course-wise Placements 2026

| PGDM (FM) | ₹17,01,532 | ₹16,20,000 |

PGDM had 97 recruiters, PGDM(FM) 64, PGDM(IB) 56 and PGDM(BDA) 46. PGDM(BDA) has the lowest median, at ₹14.85 lakh. In FORE's PDF, PGDM(IB) and PGDM(BDA) show the same sector-offer split. PGDM(FM) and PGDM(BDA) show the same top-50 percentile median. Treat those lines with care.

FORE Placements by Function, Batch 2023-25
The 2024-26 report gives the highest CTC by sector, not by function. The 2023-25 report gave these function-wise highs:
| Function | Highest CTC |
|---|---|
| Marketing | ₹29 LPA |
| Operations | ₹29 LPA |
| MR & Consulting | ₹28.25 LPA |
| Finance | ₹28.25 LPA |
| IT/ITES | ₹23 LPA |
| Human Resource | ₹18.3 LPA |
Marketing and Operations tied for the single highest offer in the batch at ₹29 LPA. Finance and MR & Consulting followed closely at ₹28.25 LPA. These are function-wise ceiling figures, not averages. Each reflects the top offer in that function, not a typical outcome.
