The relatively smaller MBA batch of 50-odd students at the Department of Management Studies (DMS), Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi completed their placements by securing 90 offers from 39 companies.

Procter & Gamble, GE, KPMG, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited and Infosys were the top five recruiters in a process that spanned a period of two weeks in December 2010.

Before the placements started, 10 students received pre-placement offers of which all were accepted except one. Three students opted out of the process. According to DMS, one of them was moving on to do a PhD at Purdue University, the second was on a sabbatical form Tata Consultancy Services while the third went back to the family business and had not registered for summer internships either.

Half the batch received offers in operations, IT or consulting roles.

Update on 03/05/2011 : Notes on interpreting the salary chart. DMS, IIT Delhi has clarified that in the above chart, the ‘Lowest salary’ is the lowest accepted salary. The lowest salary offered at IIT Delhi was in the vicinity of Rs 6 lakhs.

However, all mentions of ‘Highest salary’ in the placement report are of salaries offered. The same highest ‘offered’ salaries have been used in calculation of averages and medians, but not the lowest offered. In short, the lowest salaries are of accepted offers while the highest salaries are of offers not necessarily accepted.

You are therefore requested to interpret the above salary data as ‘optimistically indicative’.
