When we talk about MBA dreams, the spotlight usually goes to the IIMs. But here’s the reality—some non-IIM B-schools are matching (and sometimes beating) the top IIMs in terms of average packages.

Standout Performers:

• ISB Hyderabad – ₹34.2 LPA

• FMS Delhi – ₹34.1 LPA

• SPJIMR – ₹32 LPA

• XLRI – ₹31.08 LPA

Strong Contenders:
IIFT Delhi, SIBM Pune, IIT Bombay, TISS Mumbai, JBIMS, and IIT Delhi all offer ₹25–28 LPA averages, proving their strong placement ecosystem.

Key takeaway: The MBA journey isn’t just about the IIM tag. These schools show that opportunities, learning, and outcomes depend more on the right fit and your hustle than just the brand name. For many, the “non-IIM” route is not a compromise it’s a winning path.
