    The increase in Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs) to 283 suggests that summer interns are performing well and converting those opportunities at a high rate—this is a great sign for the incoming batch!

    Consulting at 45% of total offers is massive. It really highlights how much IIM Bangalore is seen as the "consulting hub" for top-tier firms.

    A 7% jump in median salary during a "challenging" placement year is impressive. It really shows that recruiters are still willing to pay a premium for IIMB graduates.
