The latest clearly labelled placement cohort
MANAGE’s March 2025 bulletin identifies final placements for the 28th PGDM (ABM) batch, 2023-25. The institute says the batch grew from 66 to 100 students and that placements were secured for all students. These are institutional claims about that completed cohort, not a forecast for the 2024-26 batch or the current 2025-27 batch. Read the March 2025 MANAGE bulletin.
The programme is the two-year, Hyderabad-based PGDM (Agri-Business Management). Keep its outcome data separate from MANAGE’s training courses and extension diplomas. The institute’s student index lists 2024-26 as a final batch, but its linked page is a student-profile roster, not a salary-results table. The newest summary found here with a named cohort and salary outcomes is 2023-25; no newer comparable placement result was verified.
2023-25 final-placement figures
The bulletin reports a highest CTC of ₹21.00 LPA, average CTC of ₹12.38 LPA and median CTC of ₹12.00 LPA for 2023-25. It also says 45 companies recruited, including 20 first-time recruiters. MANAGE reports 100 students and says all were placed. The summary does not provide a separate calculation denominator or a fixed-pay, variable-pay and benefits breakdown, so read these as the institute’s published CTC figures, not guaranteed take-home pay.
The average is ₹38,000 above the median, a direct calculation from the published values. That small difference does not reveal the distribution of individual offers. The highest CTC is an outlier measure, not a typical salary. Ask for current offer definitions and the latest completed-cohort report when comparing compensation across institutes.
Sector mix and recruiter participation
MANAGE gives the 2023-25 sector distribution as Agri-Input 32%, FMCG 18%, Animal Nutrition 12%, BFSI 11%, Commodity Trading 9%, Renewable Energy 9%, Consultancy 4%, Fruit and Vegetable Procurement 4%, and Development 1%. The two largest categories total 50% of the printed distribution. This is a calculation from rounded percentages, not a count of students or offers; the bulletin does not provide category denominators.
The bulletin names Britannia Industries, ITC (FBD), Olam, Amul, EY India and CRISIL among recruiters, alongside companies in agri-input, animal nutrition, renewable energy, commodity trading and BFSI. Participation in the reported process does not mean every company hired from every cohort or guarantees a role. See the report and MANAGE’s placement index.
Adding the five largest listed sectors gives 82% (32 + 18 + 12 + 11 + 9). This is a calculation from MANAGE’s rounded category shares, not a count of candidates with any particular job title. A sector share does not reveal offer count, role level, location, fixed-versus-variable salary or which firms hired in that category. The summary shows where the reported placement mix is concentrated, but does not answer role-level prospects.
Final jobs differ from summer internships
The institute separates final placements from summer placements. A summer internship is a project during the course; its stipend is not an annual salary and should not be compared with CTC. MANAGE’s 2024-25 recruiter guide has a separate summer-placement block and later shows the 2023-25 student profile. Match the batch label and measure before comparing an internship cohort with graduating outcomes.
The student index links separate “Summers” and “Finals” views for each named batch. Its 2024-26 final page is a student-profile roster, not a salary-statistics table. A “final” roster alone cannot establish placement rate, compensation, recruiter count or whether all students received offers. Open MANAGE’s batch-wise student and placement index.
Why a second MANAGE table is not merged here
A separate MANAGE Recruiter’s Guide titled 2024-25 contains a “Final Placement” block with 63 students, 26 companies visited, a highest figure of ₹20 LPA, average CTC of ₹12.33 LPA and median CTC of ₹11.6 LPA. That block does not name a graduating batch beside the figures. The March 2025 bulletin, in contrast, explicitly attributes its different results to batch 2023-25. Because the guide’s table does not identify its cohort, this page does not assign those 63-student figures to 2023-25, combine the summaries or infer a year from the guide title.
The 2023-25 figures above use the bulletin’s explicit attribution. If MANAGE clarifies the guide’s cohort or publishes a newer report, compare the sources using the exact batch and denominator rather than treating one table as a correction by assumption. Open the 2024-25 Recruiter’s Guide.
How to compare these outcomes
For a fair comparison, match the graduating batch, student count, placement definition, salary measure and reporting date. MANAGE’s March 2025 bulletin names batch 2023-25 and reports CTC values; a recruiter list or a general “100% placements since inception” statement is not a substitute for a cohort table. Do not compare these figures with the 2026-28 fee schedule as if both describe the same intake, and do not use them to forecast the 2025-27 batch.
The reviewed public sources do not provide fixed-versus-variable pay, role-wise salary distribution, or a separate denominator for each salary metric. Those details remain unknown here. Ask MANAGE for the latest completed-cohort report and its definitions, then compare it with reports from other institutes covering the same graduating period and CTC basis.
