• A total of 96 PGPM students received offers with a CTC above ₹20 LPA, compared to 5 students in PGPM-HR.
• In the next bracket—₹18–20 LPA—44 PGPM and 7 PGPM-HR students were placed.
• For the ₹16–18 LPA range, 68 PGPM and 5 PGPM-HR candidates were hired.
• The ₹14–16 LPA segment included 54 PGPM and 1 PGPM-HR students.
• Further, 20 PGPM and 9 PGPM-HR students received CTCs between ₹12–14 LPA.
• Only 16 PGPM students received offers between ₹10–12 LPA.

Interestingly, no student in either program received a CTC below ₹10 LPA, indicating a strong lower threshold for final placements.

Lowest CTC and Its Recipients
The lowest CTC offered during the final placements stood at ₹11 LPA for PGPM and ₹12.5 LPA for PGPM-HR. Only 2 PGPM students and 3 PGPM-HR students were reported to have received this lowest package.

Implications and Observations
While the top placement figures reflect IIM Trichy’s consistent performance in attracting high-paying recruiters, the presence of 59 unplaced students is noteworthy and may prompt discussions around placement support and industry demand trends.

Moreover, the CTC data suggests that the majority of students secured packages above ₹14 LPA, reinforcing IIM Trichy’s growing stature among the second-generation IIMs.

Conclusion
This RTI reply paints a transparent picture of IIM Trichy’s placement landscape for the 2023–25 batch. With over 280 students placed in highly competitive salary brackets, the institute continues to deliver on its promise of quality management education and career outcomes. However, the institution may need to further address the placement support structure to reduce the number of unplaced students in future batches.
