Ask ten aspirants about the IIM Indore average package and you’ll hear ten different numbers: 25.68, 29.57, 30.21, and now 27.27. All of them are real. They belong to different batches, and they mean different things.
For the 2024-26 batch, the IIM Indore average package is ₹27.27 LPA. The median is ₹25 LPA and the highest domestic offer is ₹82.54 LPA. That’s the headline. This guide covers what sits behind it: how the average compares with the median, why it fell this year while the top offer rose, how it compares with other IIMs, and whether it justifies the fee.
Quick answer: The IIM Indore average package in 2026 is ₹27.27 LPA (CTC) for the 586-student PGP and IPM batch. The median is ₹25.00 LPA and the highest is ₹82.54 LPA. The average fell about 7.8% from ₹29.57 LPA in 2025.
IIM Indore Average Package 2026 at a Glance

One detail trips people up. This IIM Indore average package covers the combined PGP and IPM batch. Programmes like PGP-HRM and EPGP report separately, so don’t mix their numbers into this one.
IIM Indore Average Package vs Median: Which Number Should You Trust?
The average (mean) adds every salary and divides by the number of students. A few very large offers pull it up. The median is the middle offer, where half the batch earns more and half earns less.
Here’s a quick example. Take eleven students: ten earn ₹25 lakh and one earns ₹82.54 lakh. The average becomes about ₹30.2 lakh, even though ten of the eleven earn ₹25 lakh.
At IIM Indore, the gap is smaller but still visible: ₹27.27 LPA average against a ₹25 LPA median, a difference of ₹2.27 lakh.
- Planning your finances or loan repayment? Use the median.
- Comparing years or colleges? Use the average, but check the median beside it.
IIM Indore Average Package Trend: 2022 to 2026
| Placement year | Average (LPA) | Median (LPA) | Highest domestic (LPA) | Change in average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 25.01 | 24.09 | 49 | +6% |
| 2023 | 30.21 | 27.20 | 114 | +20.8% |
| 2024 | 25.68 | 24.50 | 100 | −15.0% |
| 2025 | 29.57 | 27.00 | 70 | +15.1% |
| 2026 | 27.27 | 25.00 | 82.54 | −7.8% |
The IIM Indore average package moves in a see-saw rather than a straight line. Over five years it’s up about 9% (₹25.01 lakh to ₹27.27 lakh). The 2026 figure is 6.2% above 2024 and about 9.7% below the 2023 peak.
Why Did the IIM Indore Average Package Fall in 2026 While the Highest Offer Rose?
Three numbers moved in different directions:
- Average: ₹29.57 LPA → ₹27.27 LPA
- Median: ₹27 LPA → ₹25 LPA
- Highest: ₹70 LPA → ₹82.54 LPA
The highest offer barely affects the average. Swapping one typical offer for the top one would lift the batch average by only about ₹9,400 a year, so the headline high doesn’t tell you much about the typical student.
The institute’s own report describes a “challenging macroeconomic landscape” for the season. It doesn’t publish domain-wise averages, so nobody outside the placement office can say exactly which domain pulled the mean down. Be cautious with anyone who claims to know. One thing we can see is a shift in the mix of offers, covered next.
How Much Do the Top 100 and Top 200 Students Earn?
The IIM Indore average package hides a long tail at the top. Earlier reports also published the average CTC of the top 100 and top 200 students:
| Placement year | Top 100 average (LPA) | Top 200 average (LPA) | Overall average (LPA) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 37.95 | 32.75 | 25.01 |
| 2023 | 52.06 | 40.55 | 30.21 |
| 2024 | 37.33 | 32.91 | 25.68 |
In 2023 the top 100 averaged about ₹21.9 lakh above the batch average. In 2024 the gap was about ₹11.7 lakh. The 2026 report doesn’t publish these two figures, so we haven’t estimated them.
IIM Indore Placements 2026: Domain-Wise Split
| Domain | Share of offers 2026 | Share of offers 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Consulting | 41% | 35.4% |
| Finance | 20% | 14.5% |
| General Management / HR / Operations | 15% | 26.5% |
| Sales & Marketing | 13% | 13.2% |
| IT / Analytics / Product | 11% | ~10%* |
*Derived by subtraction from the 2025 report. Consulting and Finance together made up about 61% of 2026 offers.
The 2026 report also lists the roles and recruiters behind each domain. A recruiter’s name in a domain tells you where offers came from, not what that recruiter pays.
| Domain | Share of offers | Roles named in the report | Recruiters named in the report |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consulting | 41% | Deal strategy, digital transformation, business valuations and modelling, corporate finance, research and advisory | Accenture Strategy & Consulting, Bain Capability Network, BCG, Deloitte India and USI, EY, Infosys Consulting, KPMG, PwC India and US |

IIM Indore Average Package by Programme: PGP & IPM, PGP-HRM and EPGP
The ₹27.27 LPA headline is for PGP and IPM together, and the 94 IPM students are part of the 586-student count. Other programmes publish separate figures. These are the latest ones that agree across the sources we checked (2025 final placements):
| Programme (2025) | Average (LPA) | Highest (LPA) |
|---|---|---|
| PGP & IPM | 29.57 | 70 |
| PGP-HRM | 25 | 40 |
| EPGP | 23.5 | 36 |
Reported 2026 figures for PGP-HRM and EPGP differ from source to source, so we haven’t tabulated them. Check the programme’s own report on iimidr.ac.in before quoting one.
How the IIM Indore Average Package Compares With Other IIMs
| Institute (batch 2024-26) | Average (LPA) | Median (LPA) | Average gap vs IIM Indore (lakh) |
|---|---|---|---|
| IIM Calcutta | 36.00 | 35.00 | +8.73 |
| IIM Bangalore | 35.35 | 34.75 | +8.08 |
| IIM Lucknow | 33.20 | 32.90 | +5.93 |
| IIM Indore | 27.27 | 25.00 | n/a |
On 2026 numbers, the IIM Indore average package sits about ₹5.9 to ₹8.7 lakh below IIM Lucknow, IIM Bangalore and IIM Calcutta. IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Kozhikode are left out because their 2026 figures differ by source or batch. Salary isn’t the only yardstick, since fees, domain strength and location differ too. For a wider view, see our comparison of top IIMs in 2026.
Is the IIM Indore Average Package Worth the Fee?
Published fee figures for the PGP vary by source and batch, roughly ₹21–25 lakh. Taking about ₹24 lakh as a working figure, the fee equals roughly 88% of one year’s average CTC, or about 10–11 months of it. Against the median, it’s about 11–12 months.
Here is an illustrative loan example. These are assumptions, not an offer: finance 50% of the ₹24 lakh fee (₹12 lakh) at 7% interest over 8 years. The EMI comes to about ₹16,400 a month, with roughly ₹3.7 lakh in total interest. That EMI is about 8% of the gross monthly median CTC (₹25 lakh ÷ 12, about ₹2.08 lakh). Replace the numbers with your own loan rate and tenure.
Two cautions:
- CTC is not take-home. It includes variable pay and other components, and tax comes out of it. Your monthly in-hand pay will be meaningfully lower than ₹27.27 lakh ÷ 12.
- Your own offer depends on your domain. Your pre-MBA profile and the PPO route matter too: 27% of the batch converted summer internships into PPOs.

Why Different Websites Show Different IIM Indore Average Package Numbers
If you’ve seen 27.27, 27.3 and “around 27”, or a 2025 number on a 2026 page, here’s why:
- Batch vs placement year. The 2024-26 batch is placed in 2026. Pages that mix “2025 report” and “2026 batch” create confusion.
- Programme scope. ₹27.27 LPA covers PGP and IPM together. PGP-HRM and EPGP report separately, and some pages swap their labels.
- Rounding. The official report prints 27.27 in the text and 27.3 in the infographic.
- Different medians. For 2024 the institute’s report shows a ₹24.5 LPA median, while NIRF data shows ₹25.50 LPA. Different sources, different figures.
- CTC and bonuses. The report gives CTC only. Claims about extra bonuses are guesses.
The safe rule: quote the institute’s own report and name the batch.
