Put any 2-4 colleges head to head — median, average, highest, sector mix, recruiter overlap and fee payback. Scrub the salary rows across years. Every number is source-labeled; nothing is estimated.
Read salary carefully. Audited schools (e.g. IIM A) report TGCC — guaranteed cash, the floor. Institute decks report a single CTC — total pay incl. bonuses. They are not the same basis, so the median/average rows are labeled, not crowned. IIM A's comparable max-earning (MEP) is shown on its own row.

Frequently asked questions
IIM Ahmedabad vs IIM Bangalore vs Indian Institute of Management Calcutta — which has the best placements?
On a like-for-like comparable-CTC basis: IIM Ahmedabad ₹37.97L, IIM Bangalore ₹35.35L, Indian Institute of Management Calcutta ₹36L. IIM Ahmedabad publish independently audited reports. Note: raw medians differ because some colleges report guaranteed cash (TGCC) and others gross CTC — always compare on the same basis.
How should I compare two MBA colleges’ placements fairly?
On the same basis. Colleges report differently — audited IIMs quote TGCC (guaranteed cash floor), many others quote gross CTC. Collvera normalizes to a comparable-CTC figure and labels every basis, so you’re never comparing a floor to a ceiling.
Can I compare more than two colleges at once?
Yes — the comparator takes 2 to 4 colleges side by side, with sector mix, recruiter overlap, fee and payback, and a year-by-year salary scrub.
