IIM Indore Summer Placements and Stipends
IIM Indore placements for the summer cycle of the 2024-26 batch are reported separately and gives a clearer stipend picture than most institutes provide.
Metric | Summer Placements 2024-26 |
|---|---|
Recruiters | 215+, including 25 first-time recruiters |
Average stipend | ₹2.53 lakh for the two-month internship |
Highest stipend | ₹5.00 lakh |
The Director’s message accompanying the report cites participation from 200+ recruiters including 25+ new hiring partners, against the summary’s 215+ and 25 — a minor internal inconsistency in the same document worth noting rather than resolving.
An average stipend of ₹2.53 lakh for two months annualises to a substantial figure, and the report describes it as a significant year-on-year increase. Consulting, IT and Analytics, Finance and General Management attracted the majority of summer offers, complemented by roles in Sales and Marketing and emerging domains including Product Management and Sustainability.
Consulting accounted for 29% of total offers in that cycle.
PGP-HRM Placements at IIM Indore
IIM Indore placements for the PGP-HRM programme are reported separately, with full percentile bands for 2026.
Metric | PGP-HRM 2026 |
|---|---|
Highest CTC | ₹40.00 lakh |
Median CTC | ₹24.00 lakh |
Average CTC | ₹25.70 lakh |
Top 10% average | ₹38.80 lakh |
Top 25% average | ₹32.50 lakh |
Top 50% average | ₹28.60 lakh |
The PGP-HRM average of ₹25.70 lakh sits below the flagship PGP average of ₹29.57 lakh, which is the usual pattern for a specialised HR programme. Its average-to-median gap of ₹1.70 lakh is narrower than the flagship’s ₹2.57 lakh.
The percentile bands are the useful disclosure here. A top 50% average of ₹28.60 lakh against a median of ₹24.00 lakh shows where the distribution thickens.
IIM Indore Salary Trend
Against the MBAUniverse.com Rankings 2026 series, IIM Indore placements show the sharpest dip and the strongest recovery of any older IIM.
Year | Reported average |
|---|---|
2023 | ₹30.21 lakh |
2024 | ₹25.68 lakh |
2025 | ₹29.57 lakh |
The 2024 fall of ₹4.53 lakh was the steepest among the older IIMs in that series. The 2025 recovery of ₹3.89 lakh was correspondingly the strongest, bringing the average back to within ₹0.64 lakh of its 2023 level.
For comparison over the same period: IIM Kozhikode fell ₹2.97 lakh and recovered ₹0.13 lakh; IIM Lucknow fell ₹2.20 lakh and recovered ₹2.30 lakh; IIM Bangalore rose then fell.
Set that volatility against IIM Indore fees, which the same series records as flat at ₹21.17 lakh across 2023-25, 2024-26 and 2025-27. The institute held its fee steady through a cycle in which its average salary moved by nearly ₹4.5 lakh in each direction.
IIM Indore Placements Against Fee and Ranking
Measure | IIM Indore Data |
|---|---|
Course fee, 2026-28 | ₹24,00,000 |
Reported average, 2025 | ₹29.57 lakh |
Ratio | 1.23 |
NIRF 2025 | 8 |
MBAUniverse.com Rankings 2026 | 9 |
AI-readiness ranking 2026 | 2 |
The two general rankings agree closely, at 8 and 9, which is unusual — IIM Shillong differs by 25 places between them and IIM Amritsar by 27. Where IIM Indore stands out is on a third measure: second in India for B-school AI readiness in the MBAUniverse.com Rankings 2026, behind only NMIMS Mumbai and ahead of SPJIMR Mumbai.
That assessment is new in the 2026 edition and sits outside the main ranking. For a candidate weighing IIM Indore placements against future-orientation, it is a relevant data point that the placement report itself does not carry.

Programmes and Admission Snapshot
IIM Indore admits to the PGP through CAT, requiring 90.00 overall percentile and 80.00 in each section from General and EWS candidates alike. Class 12 carries 25 marks of 100 in the shortlisting composite, the heaviest such weighting of any IIM. The course fee is ₹24,00,000 for Indian students. The institute also runs the only five-year IPM among the IIMs in India.
Full detail on the composite score, sectional weighting and fee structure is on the IIM Indore Admission article.
Summary
IIM Indore placements 2026 leave you with four points worth remembering. Use the median of ₹27.00 lakh rather than the ₹29.57 lakh average as your planning figure, because the gap between them is the widest among the older IIMs. Recruiter engagement is strong, at 225+ firms including 50 new partners. Summer interns earned an average stipend of ₹2.53 lakh against a highest of ₹5.00 lakh. And the trend has been volatile — down ₹4.53 lakh in 2024, then up ₹3.89 lakh in 2025, while the fee stayed flat. Note also that this is an institute summary, not an externally audited report. Figures are official and will be updated when the 2024-26 report is published. Also read: IIM Lucknow Placements 2026, IIM Admission 2027, and CAT 2026 exam guide.
IIM Indore Placements FAQs
