IIM C has released the placement numbers for the 7th Class of its MBA course, the One Year Full Time PGPEX. The salary numbers are healthy this year, however a shade below those bagged by PGPEX’s 6th batch (Class of 2013).
Average salary for PGPEX students this year is Rs 18.49 lakh. Average salary for the Class of 2013 stood at Rs 19.73 lakh.
Highest international salary this year is $58,000 – which is a huge drop from the US$ 1,10,000 and AUE 2,04,000 salaries gained by PGPEX students in 2013. That said, this number has scope for wide fluctuations as the number is based on a very small base. From the batch of 50 students, one student this year has got an international offer. Given that PGPEX students have work experience ranging between 5 to 15 years, the highest international salary number can fluctuate wildly depending upon the work experience of the student who got placed abroad.
In a very healthy development, recruitments seem to have been more broad-based this year. While IT and IT Consulting companies recruited 35% of students in 2013, this year the number of recruitments from Consulting and IT is 17%.
