IIM Ahmedabad Highest Package 2026

What salary could you expect once you complete from IIM Ahmedabad? The latest IIM Ahmedabad placement report hyped the expectations to a new level. The highest domestic salary was ₹81.60 LPA and the highest international salary was USD 2,43,000.

The remarkable sectors in 2024-2026 IIM Ahmedabad placements include consulting, followed by BFSI, conglomerates and IT. Also, IIM Ahmedabad stated that 392 students were placed and 10 opted out of the placements to go with enterprises and their family business.

IIM Ahmedabad Average and Median Package 2026

IIM Ahmedabad reported an average package of ₹36.98 LPA under Maximum Earning Potential (MEP). The median package stood slightly higher at ₹37 LPA, showing a fairly balanced salary distribution.

MEP includes guaranteed cash, possible variable pay, and other eligible salary components. Therefore, it gives a broader salary view than fixed cash alone.
