MBA graduate, IIM Ahmedabad PGP (placement benchmark)

This page is a benchmark, not a job: what graduates of IIM Ahmedabad's two-year Post Graduate Programme in Management were offered in final placements, from the institute's audited report.

Read this first. This page rests on 3 dated pay figures, each from a named source. That is evidence of what those sources state, not of what MBA graduate, IIM Ahmedabad PGP (placement benchmark) roles pay across India.

What the work is

It shows one institute at the top of the Indian MBA market. It is not what a graduate of another business school should expect.

How graduates get there

  1. CAT

    Admission to the PGP is through the Common Admission Test (CAT), followed by the institute's own selection process.

  2. Two years

    The programme runs for two years, with a summer internship between them.

  3. Final placement

    Recruiters make offers in the second year, and the institute publishes an audited report of them.

What the pay figures say

Three dated figures are on file. All three come from published reports or surveys. The latest took effect on 3 September 2026. Each card says what the figure is; open "How the figure is read" for the method and what it leaves out.
