Note: The figures are based on IIM Shillong's final placement report for the 2024-26 batch. The report does not provide a minimum CTC, international-offer data, offer counts by sector/domain, or a fixed/variable/joining-bonus breakup. It also does not state an IPRS audit or a specific CTC definition. Accordingly, the ₹71.50 LPA highest CTC should be read as the single highest reported CTC rather than as representative of the batch as a whole.
