The IBS Gurgaon campus profile reports 92% of the Class of 2025 placed, a highest salary of ₹25.00 lakh per annum, and top-10% and top-25% average salaries of ₹15.01 lakh and ₹12.41 lakh. The newer campus-wise table on the IBS homepage labels its row “Gurgaon” under “Placement Details Class of 2026” and repeats those same four figures. Because the campus profile still labels them Class of 2025, the public pages do not establish that these are two separate cohorts or show a year-on-year change. Treat the table as the latest displayed campus row, while keeping the cohort-label discrepancy visible. The campus profile and homepage belong to the same IBS-owned web presence, but their cohort labels remain different on the pages opened for this review. Neither page provides a separate detailed Gurgaon placement report that resolves the mismatch. For applicants, the responsible reading is a published snapshot with an explicit date-label caveat, not proof that placement performance was unchanged or improved from one year to the next. The 2027-28 page edition does not make these figures 2027-28 outcomes.
The figures are not interchangeable. ₹25 lakh is the highest salary reported for the Gurgaon row, not a typical offer. ₹15.01 lakh and ₹12.41 lakh are averages for the top 10% and top 25%, not the average for the full cohort. The sources reviewed do not provide a Gurgaon-wide average or median salary, the number of students eligible for placements, the number who participated, or the denominator used for the 92% rate. Do not use IBS’s separate overall placement-rate or highest-CTC headline as a Gurgaon statistic. The campus page labels the monetary unit as rupees lakh per annum; the homepage table labels the highest value CTC. The public pages do not define the components of CTC or say whether variable pay, benefits or other components are handled the same way in both displays. A yearly CTC figure is not a monthly in-hand salary. Ask for the full package definition and its fixed and variable components before comparing it with another offer. The homepage also displays a separate 94% overall placement-rate headline and ₹40.00 LPA overall highest CTC. Those are site-level IBS headlines, not the Gurgaon row, so they should not be substituted for Gurgaon’s 92% and ₹25.00 LPA. A campus comparison is only meaningful when its cohort, programme, rate denominator and salary definition match.
IBS describes placement as a shared process: its Career Management Centre provides employer outreach, pre-placement talks, workshops, career counselling, soft-skills training, group-discussion practice and mock interviews, while students are expected to participate actively. The Gurgaon page names featured recruiters including BlackRock Services, Deloitte Consulting, Bain & Company, HCL Technologies, ICICI Bank and Tata Capital. These are examples displayed on the campus page, not a complete list of employers for the reported cohort, job offers to every student, or a guarantee of placement. IBS’s final placements page describes a four-semester preparation roadmap with ten sessions each semester. It says the first two semesters focus on internships and the later semesters focus on campus placements. This is an IBS-wide description of the support calendar; it does not establish the exact sessions attended by a Gurgaon student or the result of any individual interview. The admissions FAQ also says placements are a collaborative effort and not guaranteed. For a Gurgaon-specific cohort report or metric definition, the CMC page lists Dr. Anupama Raina as the Gurgaon contact at [email protected] and +91-124-4980950. The contact is useful for asking about the source behind a published figure; it is not a promise that an unpublished breakdown will be supplied.
The opened official pages do not break Gurgaon results down by role, sector, recruiter, salary distribution, accepted offers or programme subgroup. The homepage’s sector split is presented for IBS placements overall, so it cannot be assigned to Gurgaon. Likewise, the 92% rate has no published eligible-student or participating-student denominator beside it. The available data therefore supports a limited view of reported upper-end salary outcomes and the campus-reported rate, not a probability that an individual student will receive a particular offer. The school’s placement figures also do not show how many students were actively seeking placement, whether students who chose further study or entrepreneurship were excluded, how multiple offers were counted, or how the rate treats students who declined offers. Those are examples of denominator and measurement questions to ask, not claims about IBS’s method. A percentage without its included population cannot be compared cleanly with another school’s rate. The public Gurgaon page lists recruiter names separately from its Class of 2025 metrics and does not tie each employer to that cohort. The current homepage table gives campus-wise summary figures but no employer-by-campus outcome list. Treat named employers as examples displayed by IBS Gurgaon, not as a list of firms that hired from the exact reported class or as a forecast of future campus visits.
Ask IBS Gurgaon for the final report for the cohort relevant to your entry batch. Request the cohort year, number eligible and number placed, the definition behind the placement percentage, the full-cohort average and median, and the split by role or sector. Ask whether the published figures include only accepted offers and how fixed pay, variable pay and other CTC components are treated. Compare those answers with your own target role and location; the current public figures alone do not establish either outcome. Start with the exact question: “For the Gurgaon PGPM cohort whose figures are shown, how many students were eligible for placements and how many were included in the placement-rate calculation?” Then ask for the date the report was finalised and whether its Class of 2025 or Class of 2026 label is the controlling cohort for the listed numbers. This directly addresses the conflicting labels rather than treating them as an improvement or decline. For salary comparisons, request the full-cohort average and median, the number and share of offers accepted, and the fixed and variable components behind CTC. For recruiter or sector claims, ask whether the list is specific to Gurgaon and to that same graduating class. If IBS shares a newer report, compare only matching PGPM cohorts and definitions, and record the report date alongside the numbers. Use the Gurgaon Career Management Centre contact shown on the official page for campus-specific clarification. Until the source resolves its cohort label and denominators, compare the figures as reported, keep the missing context in view, and make your decision around your own target role, likely costs and alternative offers rather than a single maximum package.
