Year-wise IIT Kanpur DoMS Placement Trend
| Batch | Highest CTC | Average CTC | Median CTC | Top segment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023-25 | ₹36.0 LPA | ₹17.2 LPA | ₹16.5 LPA | Top 25%: ₹22.1 LPA |
| 2022-24 | ₹24.0 LPA | ₹18.2 LPA | ₹19.9 LPA | Top 50%: ₹20.5 LPA |
| 2021-23 | ₹24.0 LPA | ₹18.14 LPA | ₹17.25 LPA | Top 50%: ₹22.2 LPA |
| 2020-22 | ₹22.0 LPA | ₹16.61 LPA | ₹16.0 LPA | Top 25%: ₹20.15 LPA |
The latest batch produced a major rise in the highest CTC from ₹24 LPA to ₹36 LPA, but average CTC declined from ₹18.2 LPA to ₹17.2 LPA and median from ₹19.9 LPA to ₹16.5 LPA. The right conclusion is that the top-end outcome improved sharply while the central salary distribution was softer than the previous batch.
The 2021-23 figures are based on the published final-placement report values reproduced in secondary indexing; 2022-24 and 2023-25 are supported by IIT Kanpur's official placement reports/information brochures. Students should prioritize the latest official report when comparing batches.
How to Read the Placement Distribution
Median matters
The 2023-25 median of ₹16.5 LPA is below the ₹17.2 LPA average, showing that a smaller set of higher salaries pulls the mean upward.
Highest package is not typical
₹36 LPA is an exceptional outcome. It should not be used as the expected salary for every DoMS graduate.
Average vs median
For career planning, compare the median with the average and top-segment figures. A student should also examine role, function, location, variable pay and employer quality before converting CTC into an expected take-home salary.

How IIT Kanpur DoMS Placement Process Works
- DoMS invites companies with relevant programme and student information.
- Interested companies submit a Job Announcement Form describing the role and eligibility.
- Pre-Placement Talks and job-profile information are shared with eligible students.
- Students register for relevant companies.
- The company conducts its selection process, which can include aptitude/technical tests, personal interviews and/or group discussions.
- The company communicates the final selected list.
- Under the stated recruitment policy, once a student is selected by a company, the student generally cannot appear for other company interviews, subject to the institute's policy.
Summer Internship Placements
DoMS publishes separate summer-placement reports for MBA batches. The current placement page lists reports for 2024-26, 2023-25, 2022-24, 2021-23 and earlier batches.
The summer project is also a compulsory academic component of the MBA after the second semester. Students should distinguish the academic summer project/internship outcome from the final MBA placement figures.
Placement ROI: Is IIT Kanpur DoMS Worth It?
The latest reported median CTC of ₹16.5 LPA and average of ₹17.2 LPA provide a stronger ROI reference than the ₹36 LPA highest package. The final decision should combine the full two-year academic and living cost, opportunity cost, expected role quality and your own career target.
