IIMA releases audited placement report 2025; recruiters reaffirm strong trust in MBA-PGP talent pool

By A Representative 
The Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) has released its audited Placement Report 2025 for the two-year Post Graduate Programme in Management (MBA-PGP), reaffirming the continued trust of recruiters in its talent pool. The report, prepared in line with the Indian Placement Reporting Standards (IPRS), reflects both an increase in salaries and broader recruiter participation despite a challenging job market.
Prof. Viswanath Pingali, Chairperson, Placement, IIMA, said that the results highlight the Institute’s commitment to ensuring recruiter-recruitee fit and providing students with roles aligned to their aspirations. He emphasized the importance of IIMA’s long-standing practice of publishing only third-party audited statistics, adding that the transparent process strengthens trust among recruiters. Recruitment Secretary of MBA-PGP 2025, Atharva Kapadnis, noted that the Institute’s flexible placement policies allowed students to pursue multiple opportunities, ensuring better outcomes even in a difficult year.
The report reveals a median salary of ₹34.59 lakh per annum and a mean salary of ₹35.50 lakh per annum. In contrast to sluggish recruitment trends at other business schools, IIMA recorded improvements in both mean and median salaries. The Institute’s placement figures are reported on the basis of Maximum Earning Potential (MEP), which offers a more accurate and student-centric view of compensation compared to conventional Cost to Company (CTC) metrics. Recruiters from across industries continued to place strong faith in IIMA, making it a preferred destination for top leadership roles.
IIMA has been publishing audited placement reports since 2011 and remains one of the first management institutes in India to adopt this practice. By maintaining strict adherence to IPRS guidelines and ensuring integrity in its processes, the Institute continues to uphold its reputation as a global leader in management education.

The 'Dr' debate masks a larger crisis in allied-health education

By Dr P K Gupta*  India’s allied-health professions have long operated in a fragmented landscape of universities, hospitals, State authorities and private institutions, each with its own nomenclature, curriculum and standards. The National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions Act, 2021 was meant to correct this by creating a unified national framework for education, professional regulation and institutional recognition. Few dispute the need for such oversight. The real question is whether standardisation is quietly becoming synonymous with longer courses, additional internships and new professional titles—changes that risk masking deeper gaps in clinical training, institutional capacity and affordability.

Arrival of USS Lincoln: A ‘leisure trip’ to Thailand or a neo-colonial move to commodify women?

By Benyasiri Eimviriyapong   The arrival of the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) for a ‘leisure trip’ in Thailand before returning to its campaign of destruction against the people of West Asia demands immediate interrogation and opposition. For us Thai people, and those in sites of American plunder across the globe, this a rattling of the US’ cold war colonial chains on its most loyal lap dog, while conducting a war of aggression in Iran and the ongoing genocide in Palestine. In allowing the USS Lincoln to dock, the Thai ruling elites are once again facilitating a system of imperial violence that extends far beyond Southeast Asian borders, a system which in our case, is predicated on sexual violence and femicide.

Pilgrimage or pollution? The waste crisis of Indian faith

By Raj Kumar Sinha*  In today's times, there are certain issues that are constantly talked about and discussed, yet no visible impact seems to be made. Beyond water, soil, and pollution, one crisis that continues to be overlooked is waste. Like other life-threatening problems, waste too is gradually moving toward burying and obliterating us. After the Kanwar Yatra in Haridwar, approximately 8,000 tonnes of waste were left behind on the riverbanks, including bottles filled with urine.
