It offers unparalleled placement opportunities and serves as a gateway to leadership roles. However, the true value of an MBA is unlocked only when pursued from a top-tier B-school.

Tier-I MBA colleges like IIMs, FMS, and XLRI offer outstanding returns on investment, with top IIMs boasting average packages above ₹30 LPA. However, Tier-II MBA institutions also present significant opportunities, providing attractive salary ranges of ₹10-15 LPA. This highlights the strong market demand for skilled business professionals across all levels.

“While the IT sector has recently experienced reduced demand and salary cuts due to global factors, MBA graduates continue to see remarkable salary growth,” says Hirdesh Madan, co-founder of Hitbullseye. “Interestingly, IT professionals are increasingly shifting to management roles, as the industry now seeks skills beyond coding—precisely what MBA graduates offer.”
