The 2025 placement season at DoMS IIT Madras has concluded with a 100% placement record, demonstrating that the industry's appetite for tech-savvy management professionals is stronger than ever. Despite the global cautiousness in hiring, DoMS has managed to push its boundaries, achieving a record-breaking Highest CTC of ₹35.5 LPA, a significant jump of over 16% from the previous year.
The Gold Standard: Compensation Breakdown
The batch's strength is most evident in its averages. While the Average CTC stood at ₹17.9 LPA, the top performers reached much higher benchmarks:
-
Top 10% Average: ₹26.1 LPA
-
Top 25% Average: ₹22.7 LPA
-
Batch Median: ₹18.0 LPA
For a program where the tuition fees are approximately ₹13–14 Lakhs, achieving a median of ₹18 LPA makes it one of the best Return-on-Investment (ROI) propositions in the country, rivaling even the top IIMs in pure value.
Domain Insights: Where did the batch go?
The 2025 batch saw a healthy spread across industries, with General Management emerging as the dominant force, securing 36% of all offers.
-
Marketing & Sales (26%): Huge traction in FMCG and Tech-sales roles.
-
Finance (16%): Strong presence in BFSI and Investment Banking support roles.
-
Analytics & IT (15%): Leveraging the "IIT" core advantage in Data Science and Product Management.
Notably, the Tech MBA program at IIT Madras also saw astronomical figures, with a maximum CTC reaching ₹81 LPA. This highlights a growing trend: companies are willing to pay a massive premium for managers who can bridge the gap between complex engineering and business strategy.
If you are a CAT aspirant with a strong technical background or a "fresher" looking for a high-value brand name without the ₹28L+ debt of private colleges, DoMS IIT Madras has just set the bar very high.

Wait, the Tech MBA highest is ₹81 LPA? Is that domestic or international? Either way, it shows that the IIT tag is unmatched when it comes to niche, tech-heavy management roles. Congrats to everyone who converted

Look at that Top 10% average (26.1 LPA). It shows that if you are in the top tier of your batch, you're looking at salaries that compete directly with MDI or SPJIMR. The General Management shift is also interesting; looks like they are moving beyond just being a 'quant' school.

100% placement with an 18L median? That’s insane value for money. People keep chasing IIM ABC but forget that DoMS IITM gives you the same brand power in the tech/consulting world for half the fee. Definitely keeping this on my preference list
