It is also worth reading the year-on-year movement in the chart above with some caution rather than alarm. The drop in average and highest figures from the 2024 to 2025 cohort tracks a broader cooling in campus hiring across most tier-one and tier-two Indian B-schools during that period, driven by tighter recruiter budgets in consulting and technology rather than any institute-specific weakness — IMI Delhi, Great Lakes, and several new-generation IIMs reported comparable single-digit-percentage softening in the same admission cycle.
