The standout takeaway here is the stability in Finance, which actually saw an increase in average salary (moving from 15.6 LPA to 17.0 LPA). On the flip side, the Product/Ops segment saw a correction—dropping from 27.0 LPA in 2024 to 19.6 LPA in 2025. In placement data analysis, large year-on-year drops in specific high-salary verticals are usually "corrections" where a few outlier, high-paying roles from the previous year are no longer available or filled.

Sectoral Distribution: Where are the roles? The hiring distribution highlights where the institute’s brand is currently strongest:

• Marketing & Strategy (30%) and Finance (23%) continue to lead, accounting for over half of all placements. This signals that recruiters view Rohtak as a strong feeder for core general management and advisory roles.

• HR & General Management (18%) and Operations (16%) remain steady pillars of the placement drive.

• IT & Analytics (13%) rounds out the batch, consistent with the tech-hiring trends seen across the IIM system.

For the 2026/2027 aspirant, the goal should be to analyze consistency over peaks. While the average package saw a minor dip, the diversity of roles specifically in Marketing and Finance shows a healthy, balanced placement engine. When evaluating your choices, focus on these stable sector numbers rather than chasing "record-breaking" averages that might not repeat.
