IIM Ahmedabad Placement 2026: Highest Package, Average Package & Top Recruiters

IIM Ahmedabad placed 97.3% of its eligible PGP 2025 batch, at a median package of Rs 34.59. The average was Rs 35.50 lakh. Out of 406 eligible students, 395 received an offer.

The highest single offer that year was Rs 1,10,00,000, close to 3.5 times the median. One student received it, and it does not describe the batch.

Every figure below comes from Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad's own audited placement report for the year stated. None comes from a press headline. IIMA says its placement figures are based on Maximum Earning Potential (MEP). The Class of 2026 report reports four separate pay heads instead, and the section below sets them out.

Read the IIM Ahmedabad placement numbers one audited year at a time. That habit keeps a single outlier offer from distorting the whole picture.

The table sets the two audited years side by side, so neither number stands without its base.

What is the IIM Ahmedabad average package for 2025?

The PGP 2025 the mean MEP was 35.50 lakh. Most of the batch landed near that figure rather than far below it. The Rs 1.1 crore highest offer sat roughly 3.75 times above the median. Hence no student should plan around that.

The Class of 2026 improved both numbers. Its average Guaranteed Cash Component reached Rs 31.84 lakh and its median Rs 32.50 lakh, on a comparable batch size. The median rose faster than the average. The middle of the batch gained more than the top of it.

The PGP-FABM cohort, a separate degree from the PGP, placed 44 of 45 eligible students in 2025. Its highest package was Rs 41,83,400, against a median of Rs 22,21,000. That gap is proportionally wider than the PGP's own gap.
The Class of 2026 (PGP 2024-26) completed its placement drive on 27 March 2026, with 100% placement across cohorts. B2K Analytics audited its report, dated 27 August 2026. Out of 402 eligible candidates, 392 sought placement and all 392 received offers. The remaining 10 opted for entrepreneurship, higher education or an off-campus offer.

Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad had 182 firms participate and 267 different roles for that batch. Pre-Placement Offers reached 203, and candidates accepted 194 of them.

The institute reports Class of 2026 pay across four heads rather than one CTC figure. Guaranteed Cash Component is the nearest equivalent to the CTC figures above. All four heads compare as follows.

MEP is the highest of the four figures, which is why aggregator pages quote it. GCC is the one a bank will lend against.

Six students accepted international offers in this batch. The highest was USD 243,000, in Dubai. The mean was USD 107,170 and the median USD 81,000, with a minimum of USD 49,380. Four of the six offers sat in Dubai, one in Hong Kong and one in Japan.

Both the Class of 2026 and the PGP 2025 figures are independently audited, each in its own dated report.

Consulting led the PGP 2025 batch by offers, at 156, followed by BFSI at 99. Named recruiters included BCG (35 offers), Accenture Strategy (31), Bain (17), Goldman Sachs (9) and Avendus (7). In all, 178 recruiters came to campus that year. The Class of 2026 drew 182 participating firms across 267 different roles.

A candidate targeting consulting or BFSI gets the strongest version of this outcome. A candidate targeting a sector outside the top five competes for a much smaller share of the same campus calendar. The fee stays Rs 27.5 lakh either way.

IIM Ahmedabad reported 2 international offers for the PGP 2025 batch, both based in Dubai. Their median was USD 89,859 and their maximum USD 103,474. Separately, 59% of the eligible batch qualified for lateral placement routes, with 21 firms participating.

Two students opted for the IIMAvericks Fellowship track instead of a conventional placement. The institute's own placement cell runs every stage of this process, not a third-party recruiter.
