IIM Udaipur’s official placement material gives two different views of outcomes: final placements in a PDF labelled for the two-year MBA 2022-24 period and summer internships for its 2023-25 batch. They are not interchangeable, and neither should be presented as a forecast for the 2027-28 intake. There is also a source-scope qualification: the final-placement PDF cover and portal label the report 2022-24, but the auditor’s letter refers to the MBA Batch 2023-24. Confirm the exact cohort attribution with IIMU before treating the final-placement figures as a clean cohort comparison. The newer 2023-25 report covers internships, not final salaries.
Final placement: two-year MBA 2022-24
The final-placement PDF records 315 graduates and says all 315 were eligible for final placements; 298 sought placement through the institute and 17 did not. Those 17 included students who pursued entrepreneurship, joined a family business, searched outside the campus process or did not seek placement for other stated reasons. The PDF records 298 accepted offers and says 111 firms recruited. Its season highlights also report that 27% of the batch received pre-placement offers or pre-placement interviews (PPOs/PPIs) based on summer internships, live projects and competitions. These figures come from a report labelled 2022-24, but its auditor letter references Batch 2023-24; ask IIMU to resolve that label before relying on the exact graduating-cohort attribution.
Read the salary figures by component
For the domestic offers shown in the PDF, the median fixed yearly cash component was ₹13,99,996 and the mean was ₹14,15,340. One-time cash payments were reported separately, with a median of ₹2,00,000 and mean of ₹2,74,248. The median total guaranteed cash component was ₹15,78,000, while the median maximum earning potential was ₹18,00,000; their respective means were ₹16,15,717 and ₹18,77,953. Maximum earning potential is not the same as fixed salary: the auditor’s notes say performance bonus is counted in this measure and specified stock-option amounts are included. A reader should compare the same component across schools, rather than putting a maximum-potential figure beside another school’s fixed salary. The report provides data counts for each salary head: 297 domestic records for fixed salary, total guaranteed cash and maximum earning potential, while 217 observations support one-time payments. The average and median therefore refer to different components and, for one-time amounts, a smaller group. The PDF cover is labelled 2022-24 but its auditor letter says 2023-24; confirm the cohort with IIMU before using these numbers for a batch-level comparison.
What the audit covers
The report follows the Indian Placement Reporting Standards (IPRS), and the auditor states that the salary figures were checked against recruiter communications. The auditor also limits the audit opinion to the salary figures, not the report’s season-highlight section. This distinction matters: the salary tables have a stated audit scope, while the headline recruitment counts and PPO/PPI share are institute-reported highlights. The report says fixed yearly cash, one-time cash, total guaranteed cash and maximum earning potential are separate heads; a headline maximum is not an annual base-pay promise.

Sector and role mix
Among the 298 accepted offers in the PDF, 87 are assigned to banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), 69 to information technology/IT-enabled services, 48 to consulting and strategy, and 22 to FMCG/FMCD/retail. BFSI and technology/ITES therefore account for 156 of the 298 accepted offers in its listed sector breakdown. By function, Sales & Marketing and Business Development had 92 accepted offers, consulting/strategy 48 and general management 48. These are counts of accepted offers classified in the report, not a guarantee that a particular function will recruit in a later year. The PDF is labelled 2022-24, although its audit letter refers to 2023-24; verify the cohort attribution before using it as a year-specific comparator. The report lists sector and function salary tables as well, but small cell sizes in some categories make their minima and maxima poor estimates of what a typical candidate should expect.
Summer internships: two-year MBA 2023-25
The more recent summer-placement report covers the two-year MBA’s 2023-25 batch. It reports a class size of 330, of whom 327 were eligible to participate in summer placements. Of those, 311 sought an internship through the institute, three sought entrepreneurship support and 13 did not seek an internship through the campus process. The report classifies 321 of the 327 eligible students as receiving a stipend and six as not receiving one. This is an internship snapshot, not the final-placement outcome for the 2023-25 cohort. It also reports that 68% of the batch had prior work experience and gives 29 months as the average duration among candidates with work experience. (Audited summer-placement report, 2023-25)
Within the 311 internships sought through the institute, the largest sector groups were BFSI (68), FMCG/retail (61), manufacturing/engineering/energy (46), consulting (26), and media (27). These add to 228 of 311 internships, or about 73% when calculated from the report’s counts. By function, Sales & Marketing/Business Development accounted for 122 of 311, Finance for 43 and Consulting/Strategy for 40. This gives a practical sense of the internship mix recorded for that batch, but it is not a distribution of final offers or a promise of future hiring. The report identifies the data as being presented under IPRS and says an external auditor reviewed it. (Summer report, placement details)
What the current evidence does not show
For a current decision, treat these as dated reference points. The institute’s placement portal displays the two-year MBA 2022-24 headline figures (highest maximum earning potential ₹47.66 lakh and average ₹18.77 lakh); it does not turn those figures into a 2027-28 forecast. The 2023-25 summer report is useful for internship access and role mix, not salary outcomes. The official material reviewed here does not establish a later final-placement report for the two-year MBA or current final-placement figures for DEM, GSCM or EMBA. The 2022-24 PDF’s cover and the portal use that label, while its auditor letter names Batch 2023-24, so ask the placement office to confirm the cohort attribution. Applicants should ask the placement office for a newer cohort report and its denominator, then compare fixed cash, total guaranteed cash and maximum earning potential on like-for-like terms.
