FORE shares these figures on its official admissions page<\/mark><\/a>. The page does not state a placement percentage for this batch, so ask the placement office for the full report before you rely on one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FORE School of Management Average Package 2026 vs Median Package<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The average adds every salary and divides by the number of students, so a few big offers pull it up. The median is the middle salary, so half the batch earned more and half earned less. That makes the median the better guide to a typical outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FORE also splits pay by percentile, which shows how salaries spread across the batch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student group<\/th>Average CTC<\/th>Median CTC<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Top 10 percentile<\/td>\u20b923.69 lakh<\/td>\u20b924.30 lakh<\/td><\/tr>
Top 25 percentile<\/td>\u20b922.02 lakh<\/td>\u20b921.60 lakh<\/td><\/tr>
Top 50 percentile<\/td>\u20b919.25 lakh<\/td>\u20b918.90 lakh<\/td><\/tr>
Entire batch<\/td>About \u20b916.5 lakh<\/td>\u20b916.2 lakh<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our own estimate from these figures puts the bottom half of the batch at roughly \u20b913.8 lakh on average. That is a simple calculation, not an official number, but it gives you a realistic floor to plan around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FORE School of Management Highest Package: What It Really Means<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The highest package changes sharply from year to year because one or two offers set it. The three most recent batches show how much it moves while the median stays steadier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Placement year (batch)<\/th>Highest CTC<\/th>Average CTC<\/th>Median CTC<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
2024 (2022\u201324)<\/td>\u20b970 LPA*<\/td>\u20b916.01 LPA*<\/td>\u20b915 LPA*<\/td><\/tr>

*Figures reported for the 2022\u201324 batch at the time of release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u20b970 LPA offer you may see online belongs to the 2022\u201324 batch, not to 2026. Because that single offer lifted the headline number, compare years using the median instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FORE School of Management Median Package: What Government Data Shows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every ranked institute submits placement data to the Ministry of Education’s National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF). FORE’s NIRF submissions give you an independent check on its own claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graduating batch<\/th>Students placed<\/th>Median salary<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
2021\u201323<\/td>365 of 365<\/td>\u20b914.10 lakh<\/td><\/tr>
2022\u201324<\/td>366 of 370 (98.92%)<\/td>\u20b915.52 lakh<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can read the latest filing in FORE’s NIRF data submission for 2026<\/mark><\/a> and check rankings on the official NIRF website<\/mark><\/a>. NIRF medians can differ slightly from the institute’s own figures because the two use different methods. FORE ranked 59th in the NIRF 2025 Management category, and the 2026 list is still awaited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roles and Sectors: Where FORE Graduates Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FORE lists four main recruiting sectors and the roles students typically take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FMCG and retail<\/td>Brand and product management, sales<\/td><\/tr>
Technology and analytics<\/td>Analytics and business development roles<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pay differs by function. In earlier batches, marketing carried the top offers, while consulting and finance followed close behind. Check the current report to see how 2024\u201326 pay splits by function before you pick a specialisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FORE School of Management Top Recruiters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FORE’s page shows recruiter logos without names, so the list below comes from placement coverage across recent batches. Treat it as a guide and confirm names in the official placement report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sector<\/th>Companies named in placement coverage<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>

The 2024\u201326 numbers also show healthy hiring depth. 206 firms visited campus, one company alone made 39 offers, and 39 students converted internships into pre-placement offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the Fee Worth It? A Simple ROI Check<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FORE lists a programme fee of \u20b923.24 lakh for its regular two-year PGDM programmes. The working professionals programme costs \u20b911.50 lakh. Set the fee against pay and the picture is clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Measure<\/th>Amount<\/th>Fee as a multiple<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Programme fee (regular PGDM)<\/td>\u20b923.24 lakh<\/td>\u2014<\/td><\/tr>
Average CTC (2024\u201326)<\/td>About \u20b916.5 lakh<\/td>About 1.4 times<\/td><\/tr>
Median CTC (2024\u201326)<\/td>\u20b916.2 lakh<\/td>About 1.4 times<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In plain terms, the full fee equals roughly one and a half years of a typical gross salary. Add living costs and any loan interest to your own calculation. FORE also offers a 100% tuition waiver to the top 25 candidates with a CAT percentile of 95 or above, subject to overall merit, so check scholarships before you decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
