IBS Ahmedabad, which offers the two-year PGPM programme under ICFAI University Dehradun with admissions through IBSAT, CAT, NMAT, and GMAT, reported final placement outcomes for the Class of 2025 (the 2023–25 batch) through ibsindia.org, the network's central placement page. Campus-specific breakdowns by cohort size are not published; the figures below apply to IBS Ahmedabad as reported across ibsindia.org and corroborated by independent aggregators including Shiksha and CollegeDekho.
Class of 2025 — Reported Outcomes
The 95% figure is stated without an explicit denominator, so whether it counts registered students, opted-in students, or all eligible graduates is not confirmed in any published document. No cohort-wide number of students or number of offers has been disclosed for the Ahmedabad campus independently.
The gap between the average (₹7.81 LPA) and the highest (₹10.34 LPA) is ₹2.53 LPA, while the top-10% average of ₹9.97 LPA sits close to the ceiling. This pattern suggests the distribution is fairly compressed at the higher end, with only a narrow set of offers above ₹10 LPA, while the majority of the placed cohort settled around the ₹7–8 LPA band. The top-25% average of ₹9.84 LPA is within ₹0.13 LPA of the top-10% average, reinforcing that concentration above ₹9.5 LPA was limited to roughly the top quartile.
Placement Rate Trend (2023–2025)
Two prior cycles are available from mbauniverse.com and Shiksha, though these sources do not specify whether the figures are Ahmedabad-only or network-aggregated:
The average CTC has risen by ₹0.51 LPA from 2023 to 2025, a modest but consistent upward movement. The placement rate fell from 98% in both prior years to 95% in 2025; the official source has not explained the change, and without cohort sizes the absolute number of unplaced students cannot be derived. Applicants comparing cycles should treat this rate difference cautiously — a 3-percentage-point shift could reflect a slightly larger batch, a tighter hiring market in certain sectors, or a change in methodology.
Sectors and Role Mix
Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) is the largest hiring sector across IBS campuses and, based on the recruiter footprint visible on the official placements page, is clearly dominant at Ahmedabad as well. The campus draws on Gujarat's financial services ecosystem, with Ahmedabad being a significant base for banking and insurance operations.
After BFSI, Technology and IT services form the next visible cluster, followed by marketing and sales roles in FMCG and consumer goods, analytics, operations management, and e-commerce. Media and research firms also appear among the recruiter logos but at a smaller scale. No sector-wise percentage breakdown has been published for the Ahmedabad campus specifically.
The roles reported include relationship management, sales and business development, financial analysis, management trainee programmes, and analytics profiles. IBS does not publish function-wise offer counts.
Recruiters
The official IBS final placements page displays recruiter logos covering the full campus network rather than listing Ahmedabad-specific recruiters separately. Based on logos visible on the page and consistent mentions in aggregator reports across recent cycles, the materially represented employers include:
BFSI: ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, HDFC Life, HDFC Ergo, SBI Life Insurance, American Express, Citibank, HSBC, J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Kotak Mahindra, IndusInd Bank, Yes Bank, Indiabulls, Edelweiss, CRISIL, ICRA, Federal Bank, CSB Bank, ICICI Prudential AMC, JM Financials
Technology and IT: TCS, Cognizant, Wipro, Oracle, FactSet, Indxx, iGate, Arcesium, Cybernext, iBexi
Consulting and Professional Services: Deloitte, EY, KPMG, PwC, Genpact, Nielsen
FMCG and Consumer: Amul (GCMMF), Asian Paints, ITC, Nestle, PepsiCo, Cavin Kare, P&G
Diversified Conglomerates and Others: Reliance, Mahindra, L&T, Aditya Birla Group, Bajaj, Vedanta, Amazon, Zomato, DHL, Ford, DLF, CBRE, Anarock, Decathlon, Info Edge, IndiaMart
This list reflects logos active on the network placement page as of August 2026 and does not confirm that every company hired specifically from the Ahmedabad campus in 2025. The official page does not segregate recruiters by campus or cohort year.
Summer Internship
A mandatory 14-week Summer Internship Programme (SIP) is embedded in the PGPM curriculum at all IBS campuses, including Ahmedabad. It typically runs between the first and second year. IBS states that its Career Management Center (CMC) facilitates placement preparation through pre-placement talks, industry interaction workshops, mock interviews, and soft-skills training. Summer internship outcomes — stipend ranges, companies, and conversion rates to PPOs — are not published on the official site.
Scope Limitations and What Is Not Reported
Several data points that would materially help a prospective student are absent from all available sources:
- Cohort size and opted-in denominator: The 95% rate cannot be interpreted as X out of Y students without this figure.
- Ahmedabad-specific recruiter list: The campus has 9 sibling campuses; the official page does not separate hiring by location.
- Median package: Only the average and percentile-band averages are reported. Median, which is a more robust salary indicator in skewed distributions, is not published.
- PPO (Pre-Placement Offer) count or rate: Conversion from SIP to a full-time offer is not reported.
- Sector-wise percentage share: The proportion of the batch absorbed by BFSI versus other sectors at Ahmedabad is not disclosed.
- International placements: The official page references a "highest national CTC," implying international offers may exist or that the figure is India-specific; no international placement data is separately reported for Ahmedabad.
An applicant who needs decision-quality data beyond the headline metrics — particularly the actual cohort placed, the sector breakdown, and whether the 95% rate is self-defined — should contact the Ahmedabad CMC directly or ask for the placement report document before applying.
Interpreting the Numbers
The ₹7.81 LPA average for 2025 is a campus-reported figure. Independent salary data from alumni on professional networks — which typically reflects actual take-home, variable components, and post-increment trajectories — is not uniformly available for this campus. The IBS network recruiter base spans established large-cap companies; the roles for this campus tend to sit in front-line management, sales, and junior analytics, rather than the senior or specialised roles that drive higher averages at tier-one schools. Applicants targeting finance or BFSI careers in Gujarat's commercial hub will find the recruiter list directly relevant; those aiming for consulting, product management, or technology roles in metro markets should weigh the recruiter mix carefully against their career objective.
