IIM Jammu placements: 2024-26 MBA and healthcare MBA reports
IIM Jammu’s official placement archive links two final placement reports for the 2024-26 class: one for the flagship MBA and one for MBA in Healthcare Administration and Hospital Management (HA&HM). They report different cohorts and should be read separately. The figures below are institute-published Cost to Company (CTC) measures, not take-home pay or a guarantee for a future batch.

Reported outcomes for the 2024-26 class
These summaries use each programme’s report labels. The flagship MBA report also shows 320 total offers, 260+ recruiters, 70+ new recruiters and 30 PPO/PPI offers. The HA&HM report’s profile page shows 85 students, including 45 male and 40 female students; its placement-statistics page shows 100+ offers received and five PPOs. An offer is not necessarily a distinct student placed. The reports do not supply a consistently labelled unique-placed-student denominator alongside these totals, so do not convert the offer counts into a placement rate.

How to read the CTC figures
Average and median answer different questions. An average can move when a small number of high offers change; the median is the middle value in the reported cohort. In the flagship MBA report, the average of ₹16.47 LPA is close to the ₹15.00 LPA median, while the highest CTC is ₹26.60 LPA. For HA&HM, the average is ₹12.18 LPA, the median ₹10.45 LPA and the highest ₹33.12 LPA. The top 25% average is a separate upper-quartile measure, not a promise that an individual graduate will receive that amount. These programme-specific figures describe the 2024-26 class, not salary expectations for a future applicant.
CTC is not the same as monthly in-hand pay or fixed base salary. The report summary cards do not provide a like-for-like breakdown of fixed pay, variable pay, benefits, joining components and other included amounts. A candidate comparing offers should ask for the compensation structure and compare guaranteed annual cash components separately from performance-linked or one-time amounts. Do not divide the headline CTC by twelve and treat it as monthly take-home pay.
The cohort size matters. The MBA report’s 283 is the batch size shown in its Class of 2026 profile. HA&HM’s 85 is the student count shown in its 2024-26 batch profile. Neither figure should be substituted for the number of students eligible for placement, participating in placements or receiving an offer. Those denominators are needed to calculate a placement rate, and the summary pages do not provide a consistently labelled rate with those denominators.
A reporting discrepancy in the HA&HM report
The HA&HM report’s opening narrative says the batch attracted participation from over 88 companies, while its placement-statistics page labels 110 as “Total Companies Visited.” It does not explain whether these counts use different definitions or stages of the process. Keep the statements separate and ask the placement office for a clarified count before quoting a single employer total. The report’s 100+ offers received and five PPOs do not resolve that difference.

Compare like with like
The flagship MBA and HA&HM reports cover different programmes and career directions. IIM Jammu describes HA&HM as a healthcare management pathway delivered with AIIMS Jammu and IIT Jammu. Different recruiter pools and cohort composition can affect the reported CTC. The two medians are useful as separate historical reference points, but they are not a controlled comparison of the programmes or a prediction of the same student’s outcome in either one. (About IIM Jammu)
Use the latest report for the exact programme and cohort you are assessing. The archive also lists reports for earlier batches; figures should not be mixed with the 2024-26 data without keeping report year and programme visible. A recruiter list names organisations in a report; it does not guarantee that every student interviewed with or received an offer from them. Sector percentages describe the report’s own classified offers and should be read with their labels, not as the percentage of the entire batch placed in that sector.
Questions to ask before using a report
- Does it cover the same programme and graduation batch you are considering?
- Is the figure an average, median, highest, top-quartile average or recruiter statistic?
- Does IIM Jammu provide the eligible, participating and placed-student counts needed for the rate you want to compare?
- Which parts of CTC are fixed, variable, deferred or one-time, and what is the likely monthly in-hand amount?
- Are employer totals and offer totals defined consistently in the report?
- Has a newer final report appeared on IIM Jammu’s official placement archive?
The captured 2024-26 reports provide useful programme-scoped outcomes for the flagship MBA and HA&HM. They do not establish 2027-29 results, outcomes for IPM, BBA, Executive MBA or doctoral programmes, or a guaranteed offer for an individual applicant. Use them as historical cohort evidence and verify newer figures directly in the current programme report. (Final placement archive)
