interesting to look past the absolute highest packages (like FMS's domestic ₹1.1 Crore or SPJIMR's ₹75 LPA) and focus on the medians. SPJIMR's median standing at ₹32.85 LPA means the absolute middle of the batch is taking home a package that rivals top-tier consulting firms elsewhere. That's real depth

Don't discount XLRI's sheer placement resilience. Handling a batch size of over 570 students across two campuses and still pulling off an overall average package of ₹31.40 LPA during an evolving, tough corporate hiring market tells you everything you need to know about their legacy brand power

SPJIMR’s numbers are consistently incredible because of their specialization-locked admissions model. When a brand manager from Marico or L'Oréal walks onto that campus, they aren't interviewing generalists trying their luck at marketing; they are interviewing a filtered cohort that has spent two years living and breathing consumer data

People always obsess over the standard IIM A/B/C tag, but if your absolute end goal is to get into a consumer giant like HUL or P&G, FMS Delhi is historically unmatched. The corporate legacy they have in the FMCG sector combined with an ROI that pays back your entire tuition fee within the first two months of your corporate job is insane
