What IIM Kashipur’s published placement evidence covers
As of 4 November 2026, IIM Kashipur’s placement reports page lists the audited final placement report for the 2023-25 batch as its newest final report. The same index lists an audited summer placement report for the 2024-26 batch. These are different measures and different cohorts: the first records final job offers after the MBA, while the second records summer internships for students continuing into their second year. Do not compare their counts or use summer internship outcomes as final salary outcomes.
The institute’s recruiting overview page encourages employers to consult 2024-26 final placement material and 2025-27 summer material. It also shows a recruitment calendar with pre-placement presentations in August-September and on-campus processes from September to February. That is a recruiter-facing schedule, not an applicant promise or a report of completed 2024-26 outcomes. Check the official placement reports index and placement overview again before relying on newer results.
Final placements: the 2023-25 combined cohort
IIM Kashipur’s audited final placement report covers the 2023-25 batch across both the MBA and MBA (Analytics) programmes. It reports a highest cost to company (CTC) of ₹33.12 LPA, an average of ₹14.95 LPA, a median of ₹14.46 LPA and a top-quartile figure of ₹20.92 LPA. The report’s detailed salary table lists 433 records. Read these as combined-cohort CTC figures, not as separate MBA and Analytics medians, base pay or take-home salary. The report does not provide a programme-wise pay split in the cited summary.
The average is ₹0.49 lakh above the reported median. That difference is a useful reminder that the headline average alone does not describe a typical offer; the report’s median is the midpoint of its 433 salary observations. The top-quartile and highest figures show the upper end of this cohort’s reported outcomes, not a target package, forecast or promise to a candidate. Because the report labels remuneration as CTC, do not use its average as a fixed-salary or monthly take-home estimate. The report’s placement-pool table separately lists 480 graduates, including 433 who sought placement through the institute, 37 who did not seek institute placement and 10 unplaced. Keep the report’s categories and salary-table count visible when comparing it with another school or batch. The 433 salary records are not a salary figure for every graduate.
There is an unresolved difference inside IIM Kashipur’s own publications. The 2024-25 annual report also describes placements for the 2023-25 MBA and MBA (Analytics) batch, but gives highest CTC ₹33.00 LPA, average ₹14.60 LPA and median ₹14.50 LPA. The detailed audited placement report gives ₹33.12 LPA, ₹14.95 LPA and ₹14.46 LPA. The documents do not explain the difference. This page preserves both official statements and uses the detailed audited report for the more granular cohort and category data; it does not combine the two series or claim the annual-report values are a correction.
Where accepted offers were classified
The final report counts 433 accepted offers across its listed sectors. Information Technology accounted for 114, BFSI for 85, manufacturing for 72 and consulting for 70; FinTech contributed 33. The function table uses a different classification: marketing and sales had 90 accepted offers, general management 86, consulting 66, business analytics 62 and IT and analytics 48. These are counts of accepted offers, not percentages of the full 480-graduate cohort and not a guarantee that future students will enter the same functions.
The report identifies 190+ recruiters, and its chairperson’s note says participating organisations covered areas including consulting, sales and marketing, business analytics, finance, HR, operations and product management. Recruiter participation is not the same as the number of students hired or a measure of repeat hiring. The report also groups 118 location records as “TBD”; its location split therefore should not be presented as a complete map of where graduates ultimately worked. The category totals are useful for understanding the mix reported for this batch, but they cannot establish job quality, role seniority or future demand.
Summer internships: the separate 2024-26 cohort
The audited summer placement report is for the 2024-26 MBA and MBA (Analytics) batch. Its internship table records 424 students seeking internships through the institute: 410 with a stipend and 14 without one. It lists another 21 students as not seeking an internship through the institute. The report’s sector and function tables each total 424 accepted offers. Marketing and sales accounts for 162 offers, operations and supply chain 82, finance 79, consulting 18, and IT and analytics 46. Those are internship offer counts, not final placements or salary outcomes.
The chairperson’s note says 137 organisations participated. The auditor’s letter describes the audit as covering location, function and stipend for the 2024-26 batch, based on information supplied by IIM Kashipur and recruiter communications. It says acceptance and the number opting out were established through student communications; it also limits verification of the “not seeking” group to the total number. Treat the report as an audited institutional report with that stated scope, not as an independent survey of recruiters. For a current applicant, the next useful comparison is the newly published summer report for the cohort and programme being considered, with its stipend basis and seeking/non-seeking categories kept intact.
