IIM Indore SIP placements in 2025 have declined significantly with the batch experiencing 70-80% drop in quality companies vs previous years, 40% of the batch still unplaced by mid-year, and stipends ranging from Rs 20-30K (entry level) to Rs 75-85K (decent) with top offers at Rs 2-2.2 lakh/month. Premier consulting firms (McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Kearney, LEK) have largely skipped IIM Indore this year.
BCG ran a confidential process with limited visibility. Big 4 consulting (EY Parthenon, KPMG, Deloitte) also reduced presence. Tech PM roles at Flipkart, Amazon, Microsoft reduced from previous years.
Top hiring at SIP 2025: JP Morgan (16 roles, 9 to IPMers), HUL, ITC, ABInBev, Godrej Agrovet, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Amex. Decent placements: India Mart, Country Delight, TechOptima, Home Revise Education at Rs 65-75K stipend. Lower placements: Mumkins, HAB Pharmaceuticals at Rs 65-75K.
The batch structure: ~40% placed at decent roles, 30% at tier 2-3 companies, 20-30% struggling/unplaced. Average stipend for placed candidates ~Rs 80-85K/month. IPMer (5-year integrated program) students got priority in top hiring (JP Morgan 9 of 16, significantly overrepresented vs 13-14% batch share).
PGP candidates faced tougher placement with workex candidates at bigger disadvantage. The decline attributed to: weak placement committee performance, corporate perception shift on IIM Indore brand, reduced case competition pipeline with top recruiters, IIM Mumbai overtaking on certain rankings. Grant Thornton case comp launched at Rs 1200 entry fee for unplaced students signals the struggle.
For CAT aspirants targeting IIM I at Rs 16.5L fees for previously advertised Rs 25 LPA average, 2025 placement data suggests actual batch outcomes may be 15-20% lower than prior year. Reassess IIM I vs IIM L, K, S as priority choices.
