How to decide

Before making the decision to take admission based on the placements during 2013 and 2014, following factors should be considered-

- Highest salary has less significance as it doesn’t determine the number of students getting the same offers at the highest package.

- Average package is the factor that determines the spread. If we analyse this part at IIM Shillong, the increase comes to 2.21% in 2014 over 2013; at IIM Kozhikode it comes to 10.48% and at IIM Indore it has increased by 0.24%. Maximum increase as is evident from the data published by these B schools is recorded by IIM Kozhikode.

- Select the B school for admission where more placements are offered in the desired domain.

 If more students at IIM Indore are placed in Sales and marketing and you wish to pursue MBA in Finance, wouldn’t it be better to choose IIM Shillong. However the decision is yours.
