Placements

Latest published final-placement report

IIM Mumbai’s official placement index lists a final placement report for the Batch of 2026, alongside reports for 2025 and 2024. The 2026 report labels its subject more precisely as the Batch of 2024-26. Treat that as a completed cohort report, not a promise for students entering in 2027-28. The institute’s separate placement-statistics page currently reads “Coming soon”, so the report PDF is the useful source for the latest published figures checked here.

The report’s batch profile lists 505 students: 299 in the general MBA, 178 in MBA-OSCM and 28 in MBA-SM. These are programme-group sizes in the batch profile. The report does not label 505 as the number of students who participated in placements or received offers. It does not provide a clear eligible, participating or placed denominator alongside its highlights, so a placement percentage cannot be calculated from this page.

The reported mean for the top 20% is ₹41.4 lakh per annum (LPA) and for the top 10% is ₹47.5 LPA. The report separately labels ₹31.4 LPA as average CTC and ₹71.4 LPA as highest CTC. These measures answer different questions: a top-group mean describes a selected high-earning slice, average CTC is an average, and highest CTC is one upper-end offer. None is the median, and none should be treated as a typical guaranteed salary. The report’s phrase “Average Median of Past 3 Years” refers to ₹33.0 LPA, but its presentation does not clearly define the calculation or show the three underlying medians; it is not used here as a current-cohort median.

Recruiters and role mix

For the 2024-26 batch, the report counts 208 recruiting companies, including 66 new companies. Its prominent-recruiter list includes consulting firms such as Accenture, Bain Capability Network, Deloitte, EY, Kearney, KPMG and PwC; financial employers such as Axis Bank, Citi, Goldman Sachs, ICICI Bank, JP Morgan Chase and Nomura; and companies across technology, manufacturing and consumer sectors. A prominent list is illustrative, not an exhaustive employer list or a guarantee that a particular company will recruit in a future year.

The report’s role-based highlights allocate 30% to sales and marketing, 22% to supply chain, 23% to consulting, 13% to BFSI, 7% to IT, technology and analytics, and 5% to other roles. This distribution is useful when comparing the mix of work represented in the report: the supply-chain focus is visible, but the largest reported role group is sales and marketing. The PDF does not explain whether these percentages are based on offers, students or another denominator, so read them as the report’s own role-based distribution rather than a count of placed students.

The separate sector highlights also show a range of employers and industries, including consulting, BFSI, FMCG, IT and analytics, manufacturing/process, pharmaceuticals, retail/e-commerce and other sectors. The report’s grouped recruiter and sector pages help assess breadth, but they do not disclose a programme-by-programme placement table. It is therefore not possible from this report to attribute the salary or role figures separately to MBA, MBA-OSCM or MBA-SM. Use the combined figures only as an institute-reported picture of the 2024-26 placement season.

How to use these outcomes for a 2027-28 decision

The 2024-26 report is the latest final-placement report linked from the institute’s official placement index checked for this guide. It is relevant historical evidence, but it cannot establish the outcome a new student will receive in a later batch. The page does not supply a reported placement rate, placed headcount, median for this cohort, programme-level salary split, or role-distribution denominator. Do not fill those gaps with third-party estimates or infer that every one of the 505 students secured an offer.

For comparison, focus on the distinctions the report does support: the cohort’s programme composition, employer count, top-group means, average and highest CTC, and the role categories shown. Ask the Career Development Services office for the latest complete cohort table and the definitions behind its denominators if you need a placement rate, median, programme split or offer-based interpretation. IIM Mumbai lists [email protected] for MBA, MBA-OSCM and MBA-SM queries. Recheck the institute’s placement index when a newer final report is published; the 2024-26 figures should not be carried forward as a 2027-28 forecast.

A cautious comparison with the previous report

IIM Mumbai’s previous final report covers the Batch of 2023-25 and lists 479 students, average CTC of ₹30.40 lakh and highest CTC of ₹54 lakh. Against those published headlines, the Batch of 2024-26 report’s average CTC of ₹31.4 lakh is ₹1 lakh higher, about 3.3% by calculation; the reported highest CTC is ₹17.4 lakh higher. This is a comparison of the two reports’ stated figures, not evidence that a particular student’s expected salary or placement probability rose by the same amount.

The reports do not provide a matched programme-level table or a common denominator for eligible, participating and placed students. The 2026 report breaks out three programme group sizes, while the 2025 highlights present a batch-size figure without the same programme split. Treat the change as a limited headline comparison, not a like-for-like salary trend or an explanation of why offers changed. For personal ROI, compare the average and top-group measures with the full two-year cost, preferred role and programme, while requesting the current placement denominator and programme breakdown directly from the institute.
