K J Somaiya MBA Placements: read each outcome with its cohort
K J Somaiya Institute of Management publishes placement highlights in separate programme and cohort tabs. The current page labels one MBA placement panel MBA 2024–2026, an internship panel 2025–27, an MBA Executive panel 2023–24, and a separate MBA Sports Management panel with its own 2024–26 figures. Those are different populations and reporting periods. Use the right tab for the programme you are considering; do not combine their salary or recruiter numbers into one institute-wide average.

MBA final placements: 2024–2026 panel
In the published MBA 2024–2026 tab, KJSIM shows a highest package of ₹29.30 LPA, a median CTC of ₹12 LPA, and 210 total recruiters. These are the three headline values visible in that panel. The captured page does not provide an average salary, placed-student denominator, number eligible for placements, or percentage placed beside these figures. Do not derive a placement rate or treat recruiter count as the number of offers or employers that hired a specific student.
The page’s labels identify the programme panel and two-year batch, but the saved view does not explain a salary calculation method, reporting cut-off, or whether the CTC values include variable pay and benefits. Treat the figures as institution-published highlights, not a guarantee for an individual student or a comparison with another school’s differently defined package. Request the current audited report and its methodology if those distinctions affect your decision.
Summer internship highlights: 2025–27
KJSIM separately displays internship highlights for 2025–27. The panel lists 126 recruiters and a highest stipend of ₹3,00,000. It also gives average stipend figures for the top 10%, top 20%, and top 30% as ₹1,43,950, ₹1,14,394, and ₹94,220. The page states that the stipend is for a two-month summer internship.
The source explicitly says an audit “will be undertaken in due course.” These are therefore current institution-displayed internship statistics, not audited placement-report figures in the saved capture. The percentages refer to the top portions of the stipend distribution; the page does not state the denominator, selection rule for those groups, or whether the average is based on students who accepted internships. Compare only with another source that reports the same period, duration, and distribution method.
Internships and final placements answer different questions. A summer-stipend high is not an annual salary, and internship recruiter count should not be added to the 2024–2026 final-placement count. Keep the programme and cohort beside every number when saving notes or comparing offers.
MBA Executive: a separate 2023–24 cohort
The MBA Executive 2023–24 tab shows an average work experience of 78 months, a highest salary of ₹24.95 LPA, an average salary of ₹15.73 LPA, and a median salary of ₹13.00 LPA. This is a distinct executive cohort, with substantially different work experience and programme context from the 2024–2026 full-time MBA panel. Its salary statistics should not be used as the expected outcome for a new full-time MBA student.
The page lists academic backgrounds, roles, and sectors alongside this tab, but it does not provide a denominator or a report date in the captured view. The figures are useful as programme-specific context only. Ask the institution which roles and pay components are included and whether these metrics cover all participating executive students before using them in a detailed comparison.
MBA Sports Management: 2024–26 figures
The MBA Sports Management tab contains a separate 2024–26 placement card. KJSIM lists a highest salary of ₹8,40,000 and average salary of ₹7,07,086, with roles including My Town Leader, Management Trainee, and Executive Sales. The card does not show a median, recruiter count, placed-student count, or placement percentage in the captured page.
Do not compare these numbers as though they came from the general MBA panel. The programme title and cohort are part of the evidence. The page’s selected sports-management card also makes no claim that every student received one of the listed roles or that the list is exhaustive.
Placement support and how to evaluate the figures
KJSIM describes a Professional Development & Placement team that supports student readiness for internships and final placements. Its Parivartan framework is described through Nurturing Potential and a Student Progression Index. The page also describes guest lectures, competitions, corporate projects, summer internships, and final placements as parts of corporate engagement. These are support activities; they should not be mistaken for a placement guarantee or a measured employment outcome.
The placement page links to an audited report for 2023–25 and to earlier audited reports. That report period is different from the 2024–2026 MBA panel. The displayed 2025–27 internship highlight also carries an explicit note that audit work is still due. When requesting documents, ask for a report matching your programme and cohort and check its audit status, reporting period, denominator, salary definition, and internship duration.
A useful comparison keeps separate rows for programme, cohort, internship or final placement, highest, average, median, recruiter count, denominator, and audit status. KJSIM’s public highlight page supplies some of these fields and leaves others unstated. This article preserves the published values and their limits rather than filling gaps from another programme’s tab or from an unscoped recruiter list.
