7 is CTC or gross ? And when you mean around 7, is it greater than or less than that ?
see stats of 2010-2012 batch highest package was 11.5 lpa and lowest 5.5 lpa so u can estimate the avg package isnt it it will be 7-8 lpa

@DonZ said:
No. This only indicates the highest and lowest. You cannot assume average package of the batch with this data !

even if its an assumption u can confirm with the seniors maybe after 4-5 yrs BITS will be having much higher avg package

MBA is about choices you want to make. We have a batch with 60% of strength having more than an year experience. Earnings will definitely come and you would be provided with mightiest names to your resume, if you're good enough to clear them. All this calculation, well which we did too, practically makes no sense. Average, Mean, Median etc etc are very dicey numbers guys. Its about why you want to go for MBA. If you come here, you will carry a name which has great respect in Industry, which we are reminded very well by the industrial and social interactions. When you sit in for an interview, they just look for what learnings you carry from here. If you do well, well good names waiting to latch you. Not all statistics are to be believed, for that matter even by some respectable National Institutes [ Read stories on PG ].

So instead of discussing about packages and numbers, have talks on some qualitative aspects.
Cheers!
@Ravsan Not sure about further dates. All have them have been changed due to the initial delay. This is typically termed 'cascading' effect :P

No need to get agitated. Let me explain what I mean. Assume there are 60 students. 59 gets 6 LPA, 1 Gets 12 LPA. The average package for the batch will be (59*6 + 12)/ 60 = 6.xxagain 59 gets 11LPA, 1 gets 5.5LPA, average package will be (59*11 + 5.5)/ 60 = whatever,So, just the highest and lowest cant indicate average for the batch Next time think before you call some one crazy !
dude whatever i said it's a logical assumption when u assume something u take several parameters in mind like the brand image of the college and its overall ranking BITS Pilani has a decent brand image and the scenario that u have given is not applicable for colleges like BITS first of all it can be applicable for colleges like AMITY university or ALLIANCE etc where they inflate their placement record so atleast be logical in your assumptions and plz dont give such scenarios for decent colleges like BITS

I agree with you i have seen most ppl on PG who are only concerned about the package of a college.please understand guys MBA is not just about getting a lucrative job its more about your career profile and how you shape up your profile and that is only possible if u pursue what interests you.ppl opt for MBA in finance just because a college offers good package in finance even though that person can be an extraordinary good HR manager.so first of all introspect y u want to do an MBA if it is just for a package for 15 lpa then guys i must say u are on the wrong path.median package,avg package are all numbers which we come to know from the placement brochures of a college which can even have false figures even govt colleges have been caught with false placement figures.the real scenario is known when we enter a college and spend 2 years there.i hope i have made my point ...... :)

and yeah ur scenarios are quite valid i know highest and lowest package are not enough to determine avg package but i assume an avg pkg of a college based upon its brand image and the companies that visit the college so i think my assumption may not be accurate but its quite probable
@VenkatNaveen : hey thanks for the info...but i have few clgs last dates of fee payment n all by d third week of april....so just to make sure...i dont lose one of the few opportunities i got...i asked.

Hello Everyone, Good to see people discussing in a constructive way. Well this is Siddhartha Goel from the 2011-13 batch currently doing PS-II in bangalore.

Well, Only one thing what I would like to say is Power comes from within, no matter even if you be in IIM's you cannot do anything until and unless you have the willpower to achieve something. Guys n girls, start believing in yourself rather than depending on the college for jobs and packages. Be God fearing but donot let that stop you to do something different.
About BITS: This institute will give you some of the finest opportunities available to only a handful of people in the country. It depends on you how do you make out of these opportunities....This place changed my life.....BITS Pilani: It's Magic....!
