Last updated: 13 October 2026 | Figures checked against IIM Ranchi’s official placements page
Search for the IIM Ranchi average package and you’ll meet a crowd of numbers: 19.24, 19.26, 19.29, 18.86, 21.07, even 21.7. Some belong to different batches. Some belong to different programmes. A few are typos or early figures that were later revised.
For the 2024-26 batch, the IIM Ranchi average package is ₹19.26 LPA for the flagship MBA. The median is ₹18 LPA and the highest CTC is ₹52.50 LPA. This guide shows what sits behind those numbers: how MBA, MBA-HRM and MBA-BA differ, why the average barely moved this year, how it compares with other IIMs, and whether it justifies the fee.
Quick answer: The IIM Ranchi average package in 2026 is ₹19.26 LPA (CTC) for the MBA programme, ₹18.86 LPA for MBA-HRM and ₹21.07 LPA for MBA-Business Analytics. The MBA median is ₹18 LPA and the highest package is ₹52.50 LPA. The MBA average is nearly flat against ₹19.29 LPA in 2025.
IIM Ranchi Average Package 2026 at a Glance
| Metric (MBA, batch 2024-26) | Figure |
|---|---|
| Average package (CTC) | ₹19.26 LPA |
| Median package | ₹18.00 LPA |
| Average of top 25% | ₹24.90 LPA |
| Average of top 80% | ₹20.40 LPA |
| Highest package | ₹52.50 LPA |
| Average PPO package | ₹19.28 LPA |
| PPO share of batch | 21.74% |
| Recruiters | 77 |
Every figure here is annual CTC in INR lakh. The ₹19.26 LPA headline covers the flagship MBA only. MBA-HRM and MBA-BA report separately, so don’t mix them into this number.
IIM Ranchi Average Package by Programme: MBA vs MBA-HRM vs MBA-BA
| Indicator (2026) | MBA | MBA-HRM | MBA-BA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average package | ₹19.26 LPA | ₹18.86 LPA | ₹21.07 LPA |
| Median package | ₹18.00 LPA | ₹18.00 LPA | ₹19.13 LPA |
| Highest package | ₹52.50 LPA | ₹41.40 LPA | ₹36.35 LPA |
| Top 25% average | ₹24.90 LPA | ₹24.63 LPA | ₹28.02 LPA |
| Top 80% average | ₹20.40 LPA | ₹20.08 LPA | ₹22.78 LPA |
| Average PPO package | ₹19.28 LPA | ₹21.52 LPA | ₹20.46 LPA |
| PPO share | 21.74% | 41.00% | 13.16% |
| Recruiters | 77 | 28 | 25 |
Two things stand out. MBA-BA leads on average, median and top-25% pay. The flagship MBA has the biggest recruiter pool and the highest single offer. MBA-HRM stands out for pre-placement offers, with 41% of the batch converting an internship into a job.
So don’t pick a programme by its highest CTC alone. The median, the PPO route and the recruiter mix tell you more about what a typical student gets.
IIM Ranchi Average Package vs Median: Which Number Should You Trust?
The average (mean) adds every salary and divides by the batch. A few very large offers can pull it up. The median is the middle offer: half the batch earns more, half earns less.
Here’s a simple example. Take eleven students, ten at ₹18 lakh and one at ₹52.5 lakh. The average becomes about ₹21.1 lakh, though ten of the eleven earn ₹18 lakh.
At IIM Ranchi the gap is small: ₹19.26 LPA average against an ₹18 LPA median, a difference of ₹1.26 lakh (about 7%). The top-80% average of ₹20.40 LPA is only ₹1.14 lakh above the overall average. That means the average isn’t propped up by a handful of giant offers.
- Planning loan repayment or monthly budgets? Use the median.
- Comparing years or colleges? Use the average, but check the median beside it.
IIM Ranchi Average Package Trend: 2022 to 2026
| Placement year | Average (LPA) | Change | Median (LPA) | Highest (LPA) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 16.17 | n/a | n/a | n/a |
| 2023 | 17.30 | +7.0% | 16.50 | 67 (international) |
| 2024 | 18.69 | +8.0% | 18.00 | 37.80 |
| 2025 | 19.29 | +3.2% | n/a | 50.39 |
| 2026 | 19.26 | −0.2% | 18.00 | 52.50 |
Over five years the IIM Ranchi average package has climbed about 19% (₹16.17 to ₹19.26 lakh), roughly 4.5% a year. The climb has been steady rather than dramatic, and it flattened in 2026.
Why Did the IIM Ranchi Average Package Stay Flat in 2026?
The average slipped by ₹0.03 lakh, while the top of the range moved up:
- Highest MBA package: ₹50.39 LPA → ₹52.50 LPA (+4.2%)
- Average MBA package: ₹19.29 LPA → ₹19.26 LPA (−0.2%)
The programmes moved differently too:
| Programme | Average 2025 | Average 2026 | Change | Highest 2025 | Highest 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MBA | 19.29 | 19.26 | −0.2% | 50.39 | 52.50 |
| MBA-HRM | 19.02 | 18.86 | −0.8% | 35.30 | 41.40 |
| MBA-BA | 19.87 | 21.07 | +6.0% | 27.93 | 36.35 |
MBA-BA did the heavy lifting: its highest package rose about 30% and its average about 6%. The institute’s report doesn’t explain why the flagship average stalled, so be cautious with anyone who claims to know.
IIM Ranchi Average Package by Sector and Function
Who hires matters as much as how much they pay. In 2026 the flagship MBA batch leaned on finance and technology:
| Sector (share of offers) | MBA | MBA-BA |
|---|---|---|
| BFSI and Fintech | 32.07% | 13.16% |
| Manufacturing | 17.93% | 15.79% |
| IT and ITES | 15.22% | 42.11% |
| FMCG | 7.61% | 2.63% |
| E-commerce and Technology | 5.43% | 2.63% |
| Automobile | 5.43% | not reported |
| Consulting and Professional Services | 4.89% | 21.05% |
MBA-HRM’s mix is more spread out, with BFSI, consulting and manufacturing each near 13%.
The function-wise averages in the audited 2026 report are even more useful. The report summary doesn’t say which programme each row covers, so treat them as indicative:
| Function | Average CTC | Median CTC | Highest CTC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Finance | ₹23.40 LPA | ₹24.50 LPA | ₹32.50 LPA |
| Strategy and Consulting | ₹22.91 LPA | ₹20.61 LPA | ₹36.35 LPA |
| IT Analytics | ₹18.64 LPA | ₹19.00 LPA | ₹22.00 LPA |
| Operations Management | ₹18.43 LPA | ₹20.63 LPA | ₹22.00 LPA |
| Sales and Marketing | ₹18.09 LPA | ₹18.00 LPA | ₹52.50 LPA |
Sales and Marketing produced the ₹52.50 LPA headline offer, yet its average is the lowest of the five. A big top number doesn’t mean a big typical number.
How the IIM Ranchi Average Package Compares With Other IIMs
| Institute (batch 2024-26) | Average (LPA) | Gap vs IIM Ranchi (lakh) |
|---|---|---|
| IIM Calcutta | 36.00 | +16.74 |
| IIM Bangalore | 35.35 | +16.09 |
| IIM Lucknow | 33.20 | +13.94 |
| IIM Indore | 27.27 | +8.01 |
| IIM Ranchi | 19.26 | n/a |
IIM Ranchi’s average is about 29% below IIM Indore’s. Pay isn’t the only yardstick, since fees, domains and location differ.

Is the IIM Ranchi Average Package Worth the Fee?
The expected total fee for the 2026-28 batch is about ₹19.2 lakh, including caution deposit and alumni fee. Mess charges are extra. Confirm the final figure on IIM Ranchi’s admission page, because the batch placed in 2026 paid less.
Against the numbers above:
- The fee equals about 12 months of the average CTC (₹19.2 lakh ÷ ₹19.26 lakh).
- Against the ₹18 LPA median it’s about 12.8 months.
Here is an illustrative loan example. These are assumptions, not an offer: finance 50% of the fee (₹9.6 lakh) at 9.5% interest over 8 years. The EMI comes to about ₹14,300 a month, with roughly ₹4.1 lakh in total interest. That EMI is about 9.5% of the gross monthly median CTC (₹18 lakh ÷ 12 = ₹1.5 lakh). Swap in your own rate and tenure.
Two cautions:
- CTC is not take-home. It includes variable pay and other components, and tax comes out of it. Monthly in-hand pay will be meaningfully lower than ₹19.26 lakh ÷ 12.
- Your offer follows your domain. Finance and consulting averaged higher than sales or operations in 2026, and the PPO route matters too.

Why Different Websites Show Different IIM Ranchi Average Package Numbers
If you’ve seen several figures for the same year, one of these is usually the reason:
- Batch vs placement year. The 2024-26 batch is placed in 2026. Some pages label it “2025” or “2026” inconsistently.
- Programme mix-ups. MBA, MBA-HRM and MBA-BA each have their own average, and some pages swap them.
- Preliminary vs final data. Early reports can differ from the audited final report. For example, an earlier page listed MBA-HRM at ₹17.74 LPA, while the final figure is ₹18.86 LPA.
- Typos and rounding. One portal prints MBA-BA as ₹21.7 LPA instead of ₹21.07 LPA, and 2025 MBA-BA appears as both ₹19.86 and ₹19.87 LPA.
- CTC only. Reports give CTC. Claims about extra bonuses are guesses.
The safe rule: quote the institute’s own placements page and name the batch.
What the IIM Ranchi Average Package Means for Your Plan
