IMS Ghaziabad Placements as per NIRF Disclosures
IMS Ghaziabad (institute code IR-M-S-402) files annual NIRF data and hosts the submissions on its own website. These filings count every student who graduated in the minimum stipulated time, which is a wider denominator than the eligible-and-registered pool used in the institute's placement reports.
The NIRF 2026 submission covers the three most recent graduating years.
| Graduating Year | Students Graduating in Minimum Stipulated Time | Students Placed | Median Salary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-25 (PGDM 2023-25) | 351 | 335 | INR 8.60 lakh |
| 2023-24 (PGDM 2022-24) | 267 | 36 | INR 5.80 lakh |
| 2022-23 (PGDM 2021-23) | 174 | 67 | INR 7 lakh |
Note: The institute has revised some placed-student counts and median salaries between NIRF filings. The 2023-24 graduating year was reported as 267 placed with a median of INR 8.50 lakh in the NIRF 2025 submission and as 36 placed with a median of INR 5.80 lakh in the NIRF 2026 submission. The 2022-23 and 2021-22 years also differ across filings. Both sets of figures are official, so readers comparing years should note which submission a number comes from.
Key Takeaways:
- The NIRF median has climbed from INR 5.25 lakh for the 2019-20 graduating year to INR 8.60 lakh for 2024-25.
- NIRF puts the 2024-25 placed share at 335 of 351 graduates, which works out to about 95.4% on the wider denominator against the institute's 100% figure for eligible students.
- Sanctioned PG intake is 360 seats, and the institute admitted a full 360 students in 2023-24 against 281 in 2022-23 and 190 in 2021-22.

Fellow Programme in Management Placement Data
IMS Ghaziabad also runs a Fellow Programme in Management, its doctoral-level programme. The institute does not publish separate placement statistics for it.
Its NIRF 2026 submission lists one full-time and six part-time doctoral students on roll, with zero doctoral graduates in each of the 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 years. Every placement figure on this page therefore belongs to the two-year full-time PGDM.
IMS Ghaziabad Placement FAQs
Ques. Why is the median salary at IMS Ghaziabad so far below the INR 43 LPA highest package?
Ans. The highest package is a single top offer, while the median is the middle value of the whole placed batch. For the 2023-25 batch the institute put the average band at INR 8 LPA to INR 9 LPA against a top offer of INR 35 LPA, so the gap is structural rather than a one-off. Aspirants should treat the median of INR 9.5 LPA as the realistic benchmark and the top figure as an outlier driven by a small number of consulting and analytics roles.
Ques. Why do the NIRF numbers for IMS Ghaziabad differ from its 100% placement claim?
Ans. Two things are going on. NIRF counts every student who graduated in the minimum stipulated time, whereas the institute's placement report counts students who were eligible and registered for campus processes, so the NIRF share for 2024-25 works out to 335 of 351 or about 95.4%. Separately, the institute has revised some placed-student counts between its own NIRF filings, which is why the 2023-24 year reads as 267 placed in the NIRF 2025 submission and 36 placed in the NIRF 2026 submission.
Ques. Is IMS Ghaziabad mostly a sales and marketing placement campus?
Ans. The sector data supports that reading in part. FMCG and consumer goods is the single largest bucket at 25% of the batch, and the published role list is heavy on Territory Sales Manager, Marketing Manager and Management Trainee profiles. Student feedback on Collegedunia also notes that most hiring happens in sales and marketing with fewer openings in finance and HR. That said, banking plus NBFC together account for 28% and consulting for 18%, so finance and advisory roles are present rather than absent.
Ques. Does every IMS Ghaziabad student get placed, and are there conditions to sit for drives?
Ans. No. The latest reported figure is 98.3%, not 100%, and the 100% claim in the previous cycle applied to eligible students only. Students reviewing the institute on Collegedunia describe an academic consistency bar for placement eligibility, and the summer internship rule requires a student to accept the first project offer received. The institute does not publish a formal eligibility threshold, so candidates should confirm the current rules with the Corporate Resource Centre.
Ques. How many recruiters actually visit IMS Ghaziabad in a season?
Ans. The institute reports 185 plus companies for the 2024-26 cycle and 172 plus for the 2023-25 cycle, and says more than 200 recruiters have participated across the last five batches through on-campus and off-campus processes. Around 36% of the recruiters in the 2023-25 cycle were first-time participants, which indicates the list turns over year to year rather than staying fixed.
