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. (Last 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.
