We generally never focus on Average CTC offered on campuses. However, IIFT this year reports a 24% increase taking the average CTC to 18 lacs. It is a notably high number. There is no way for us to verify this figure as no external agency has audited the report like at IIM Ahmedabad - auditing is an issue at all other top schools too - IIM C, IIM B, IIM L, IIM I, IIM K, XLRI, FMS etc. (L
ast year IIFT reported an average domestic salary of 14.54 Lacs). It seems the figure of 18.01 Lacs is an average after taking into consideration both Domestic and International salaries. It is notable that average salary has gone up despite an increase in the batch size. Total number of companies making offers has remained almost the same which means offers per company has gone up as well.
Technology and E-Commerce represent an impressive line-up. Amazon seems to have taken over from Flipkart in terms of hiring big numbers from IIFT this year. Cognizant remains a big recruiter. Banking & Finance is almost a mirror image of last year's report - which means IIFT students have impressed recruiters in this space and now they enjoy a great loyalty. Number of Pre-placement offers have gone up as compared to last year. As compared to summer placements of the same batch, we see some shrinkage in the FMCG names in the list below.
This is the third time we are reporting IIFT Final Placements and based on data provided by the placement committee. To read the summer placement report of this batch, click
