International companies continue to give them preference during campus placements. The new IIMs, established after 2009, are expanding rapidly with better infrastructure and faculty strength. Their average salaries now stand between INR 15 to 18 lakh, indicating steady improvement. Both contribute equally towards building up management education in India.
