Ans. When you are talking about the normal person, you must be clear about who this normal person is. Is it a person who is in the middle when people are arranged as per the salary package they receive? If yes, then you are looking for the median salary value. The median value of packages for old IIMs, XLRI, and FMS ranges somewhere between 18-25 lakhs per annum while for new IIMs and other B-schools, the median value ranges between 10-16 lakhs per annum. The packages differ year after year. Also, there are many factors that come into consideration while deciding the average package received by a normal person in any of the institutes be it IIMs or other b-schools. The average package in a particular specialization may be higher in a specific institute. For eg: XLRI gets the highest median packages for HR specialization, but not for other specializations. The table given below will help you understand the average package that a normal person receives at the IIMs, XLRI, FMS, and ISB. College Average Package (2019-2020) Indian Institute of Management 18-25 LPA Xavier School of Management 21-23 LPA Faculty of Management Studies 21-25 LPA Indian School of Business 18-24 LPA Do not blindly rely on the placement reports as most of these reports are unaudited.
