Key Takeaways:
- IBS places a very large batch (1,300+ MBA students per year), which is unusual for a private B-school. This scale is a key differentiator: over 185 recruiters visited in 2025, and IBS alumni network spans 6 lakh+ across India and globally.
- The median CTC of INR 9.85-10 LPA has been stable over three years (NIRF data). The average slightly varies based on year-specific hiring patterns in Financial Services and IT/ITES.
- The gap between the overall average (INR 9.82-10.42 LPA) and the top 10% average (INR 13.7-17.66 LPA) is significant, reflecting a wide spread in offer quality across a large batch.
- IBS's highest packages (INR 21 LPA domestic, INR 58.19 LPA international) represent a small share of total offers. The typical mid-batch placement is in the INR 8-11 LPA range.

Aspirants should note this gap when comparing IcfaiTech outcomes with IBS numbers cited in university-level overviews.
ICFAI Law School Placements

IFHE Hyderabad Placement FAQs
Ques. What is the average package at IFHE Hyderabad in 2025?
Ans. The average package depends on the school. For IBS MBA 2025, the average was INR 9.82 LPA with a 93% placement rate. For IcfaiTech BTech 2025, the average was INR 4.9 LPA with an 83.81% placement rate. The overall IFHE university figure of INR 12.87 LPA average (2025, per Collegedekho citing official data) combines all schools and is heavily influenced by IBS, which places the largest number of students. Students applying to IcfaiTech should use the IcfaiTech-specific figures and not the university-level average as a benchmark.
Ques. What does the NIRF 2025 Management data show for IBS placement?
Ans. As per the NIRF 2025 Management data sheet submitted by IFHE on ifheindia.org, the MBA 2023-24 batch saw 1,144 of 1,320 graduating students placed with a median salary of INR 9.85 LPA. The 2022-23 batch showed 1,162 of 1,239 placed at a median of INR 10 LPA, and the 2021-22 batch showed 1,034 of 1,034 placed at a median of INR 8.23 LPA. These NIRF figures count all graduating students as the denominator, so the rates (87-94%) are slightly lower than the official placement report figures (93-97%), which count only students who opted for placements.
Ques. Is IcfaiTech BTech placement as strong as IBS MBA placement?
Ans. No. The two schools have very different placement profiles. IBS MBA recorded an average of INR 9.82 LPA and a 93% rate in 2025. IcfaiTech BTech recorded an average of INR 4.9 LPA and a 83.81% rate in 2025. When IFHE Hyderabad is described as having a high average package or strong placement rate, that figure typically reflects IBS and not the engineering school. The 2024 IcfaiTech highest package of INR 46 LPA was a single international offer and is not representative of the typical outcome for BTech graduates.
Ques. Which sectors hire the most from IFHE Hyderabad?
Ans. For IBS MBA placements, Financial Services led with 22.46% of offers in 2025, followed by IT/ITES (18%), Consulting (15%), and Banking (12%). IBS's strong BFSI and Financial Services recruiter base reflects its Finance and Business Analytics specialisations. For IcfaiTech, IT services companies (TCS, Cognizant, HCL, Capgemini) dominate. For Law School, corporate legal teams, law firms, BFSI companies, and Knowledge Process Organisations are the primary employers.
