The "Finance" Surge: The most significant trend here is the shift in Finance hiring. Moving from a mere 3.69% of offers in the 2022-24 batch to 15% in 2023-25 is massive. While the median salary saw a slight adjustment due to the sheer volume of new intake, this signals a major strategic pivot in recruiter engagement at IIM Udaipur.

The Product/Tech Correction: The decline in Product Management (6.71% to 2.65%) is consistent with the broader tech sector correction we’ve seen globally. It wasn't just a volume drop; the median salary also saw a hit. This isn't unique to Udaipur—it’s a reflection of the "tech-winter" that has impacted campuses nationwide.

Stability in Core Functions: Sales/Marketing and Consulting remain the backbone of the hiring process. Even with a drop in offer percentages, the salaries remained resilient, hovering around the 17–19 LPA mark. This indicates that core management roles remain the "safe harbor" during economic volatility.

Project Management the Salary Anomaly: It is fascinating to see Project Management roles offer a median salary jump to 20.37 LPA despite a drop in total offers. This typically happens when companies switch to hiring for highly specialized, senior-level projects rather than volume-based operational roles.

I'm prepping for CAT 2026 and looking at these reports is a great way to understand the 'mood' of the market. Even with the salary dips in some sectors, the median figures are still incredibly robust for a 2-year program. Thanks for breaking this down it's much more digestible than the raw PDF reports

Project management salary hitting 20L+ while volume drops? That’s classic 'niche hiring.' Companies are clearly cutting back on entry-level operational roles but paying a premium for specific expertise. It’s a good reminder that specialized skills still command a high price even when the market is tight

The drop in Product Management (PM) offers makes perfect sense given the tech slowdown we've seen since last year. It’s a painful correction for aspirants who were aiming for those roles, but it's good to see that students were absorbed into Gen Man and Finance instead. Diversification is key

That jump in Finance hiring from 3.7% to 15% is the real headline here. It shows that IIM Udaipur is aggressively positioning itself as a core finance campus now. For anyone interested in a career in banking/fintech, this is a very strong signal for the coming years
