The batch-level salary distribution for the FORE School of Management, New Delhi 2024–26 placement cycle shows concentration in upper-mid ranges; percentile tables and band counts below are taken from the official Placement Report 2024-26 published on the institute website (report published Oct 2026).
Table: band-wise counts and percentiles for the full graduating cohort (numbers sourced from the official placement report).
Practical interpretation: the official report provides percentile averages (Top 10, Top 25, Top 50 and Entire batch averages and medians). Use those percentiles to judge concentration near the reported average CTC ₹16.53 LPA and median ₹16.20 LPA for the 2024–26 cycle.

FORE School of Management, New Delhi recorded differentiated outcomes across sectors in the 2024–26 placement cycle. The table below lists sector-wise highest and average packages and common roles offered to placed students as reported in the official 2024–26 placement report (published on the institute site and summarised by Collegedunia on 5 Oct 2026). Where programme-level figures were reported separately, the table reflects the overall PGDM placement numbers.

The institute report (fsm.ac.in; Placement Report 2024-26) and secondary summaries show that BFSI delivered the single highest sector-level CTC of ₹26.45 LPA, while consulting produced high top-end offers in the ₹28.25 LPA range. The published percentile breakdowns indicate stronger median and average outcomes for upper percentiles: the top 10% averaged ₹23.69 LPA with a median of ₹24.30 LPA, which explains the elevated consulting and IT top-end figures.
Roles in BFSI and IT/ITES dominate volume; consulting and FMCG/manufacturing account for premium role profiles and selective higher packages.
Top recruiters and notable offers
FORE School of Management, New Delhi attracted recruiters across banking, consulting, technology, FMCG and manufacturing in the 2024–26 placement cycle. The official placement report (Placement Report 2024-26) and secondary coverage list multiple marquee companies and provide role-level and offer-value details for the highest packages.
Below is a concise table of leading recruiters grouped by sector, with notable roles and reported offer values where the official report or credible coverage provides specific numbers.
| Company | Sector | Notable role | Offer value (INR) |
|---|---|---|---|

| Tata Motors | Automobile / Manufacturing | Area Sales Manager / Management Trainee | included among top recruiters |
Interpretation: the official Placement Report 2024-26 records a highest CTC of INR 26.45 LPA (BFSI sector) and lists finance, technology, FMCG and manufacturing firms as frequent recruiters; several global banks and consulting/IT firms appear among the top recruiters. Exact role-level offer values beyond the headline INR 26.45 LPA are not separately enumerated for every recruiter in the public report; the table therefore lists confirmed high-value offers and otherwise records recruiter participation as named in the published report.

PPOs, internship conversions and SIP highlights
FORE School of Management, New Delhi recorded 39 Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs) in the 2024–26 placement report released in October 2026. The placement report also shows internship-to-offer conversion as an important pipeline for final placements.
Below is a concise table of intern/PPO metrics drawn from the official 2024–26 placement disclosure.
| Metric | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs) | 39 | Figure reported in the FORE placement report 2024–26 (published on fsm.ac.in; reported by Collegedunia on 05 Oct 2026) |
| Companies visited (placements) | 206 | Total companies that visited the campus during the 2024–26 placement cycle (official report) |
| Recruiting companies (hired) | 142 | Number of companies that made hires from the batch, as listed in the 2024–26 report |
| Top percentiles (intern-linked) | Top 10%: 23.69 LPA avg | Top percentile average CTCs shown in the official placement Overview (2024–26) |
FORE’s official placement report emphasises that SIP (the mandatory summer internship) runs as an eight-week programme and is the primary route for PPOs; firms evaluating interns often convert high-performing projects into PPOs. The 2024–26 Overview reports 39 PPOs, underlining a notable conversion pipeline during the internship window (Placement Report 2024–26, fsm.ac.in; reported Oct 2026).
Typical internship stipends reported across public summaries and media coverage for recent cycles cluster in the mid-range for Indian B-schools, and FORE’s SIP placements include project work in BFSI, consulting and analytics—areas that also contributed to final offers. Standout internship projects named in the report include risk-modeling assignments with BFSI recruiters and market-entry strategy projects in FMCG that later converted into roles in finance and marketing respectively.

Comparison with 2026 placements
FORE School of Management, New Delhi saw modest shifts in its headline placement numbers between the 2026 and 2027 reporting periods. The official 2024–26 placement report (published Oct 2026) and the 2025 placement Overview (updated Jan 5, 2026) provide the verified figures used below.
Below table compares the verified headline figures reported for the two latest published cycles.
| Particulars | 2026 figure (reporting period) | 2027 figure (reporting period) | Change (absolute) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Highest package (INR) | ₹26.45 LPA (Placement Report 2024–26, published Oct 2026) | ₹29.00 LPA (Placement Overview titled 2025; updated Jan 5, 2026; reported as 2025 batch) | +₹2.55 LPA |
| Average/mean package (INR) | ₹16.53 LPA (Placement Report 2024–26, published Oct 2026) | ₹16.40–₹16.80 LPA (2025 reporting entries: Careers360 lists ₹16.5 LPA; Shiksha shows ₹16.4–₹16.8 LPA) | ≈+0.00 to -0.13 LPA (variation between sources) |
| Median package (INR) | ₹16.20 LPA (Placement Report 2024–26, published Oct 2026) | ₹15.20–₹16.20 LPA (Shiksha reports ₹15.2 LPA for 2025; Careers360/Collegedunia report ₹16.2 LPA for 2024–26) | −₹1.00 to 0.00 LPA |
Interpreting the table: official materials published Oct–Nov 2026 (the 2024–26 placement report released on the institute site and summarised by Collegedunia on 5 Oct 2026) give the completed-cycle figures of ₹26.45 LPA highest, ₹16.53 LPA average and ₹16.20 LPA median. Earlier 2025-cycle summaries (Shiksha update 5 Jan 2026) recorded a ₹29 LPA highest and average/median in the ₹16.4–₹16.8 LPA and ₹15.2 LPA range respectively.
The year-on-year differences therefore depend on which reporting window is taken as the reference: the completed 2024–26 official report shows a slight dip from a quoted 2025 peak-high, while average CTC remained broadly stable across sources.
The figures above combine the official 2024–26 placement report (published Oct 2026) and public placement summaries updated on 5 Jan 2026 and 16 Oct 2026. Use the completed-cycle report (Oct 2026) for final-year comparisons.

Campus hiring process and timeline
Campus hiring at FORE School of Management, New Delhi is coordinated centrally by the institute’s placement cell and follows an academic-year rhythm aligned to the two-year PGDM cycle. The placement cell manages employer outreach, pre-placement presentations, scheduling of interviews, and conversion of internships to PPOs; FORE’s official placement report 2024-26 (published Oct 2026) documents campus coordination with over 206 companies visiting for the cycle and lists 39 PPOs, indicating active placement-cell facilitation.
The table below summarises the typical campus timeline and who attends during a completed placement cycle (2024–26 report).
| Month | Activity | Who attends |
|---|---|---|
| April–June | Mandatory Summer Internship Programme (SIP) and project submissions | Second-year students, internship recruiters, placement cell |
| July–August | Internship evaluations; PPO decisions and offers processed | Students with internships, placement cell, recruiting HR |
| September–October | Pre-placement talks, company shortlisting and scheduling | All eligible final-year students, placement cell, visiting recruiters |
| November–January | Interview rounds, assessment centres and final offers | Final-year students, placement cell, interviewing panels |
| February–March | Late hires, offer finalisation and placement report compilation | Remaining eligible students, placement cell, reporting team |
FORE’s published report (Placement Report 2024-26, released Oct 2026) supports this sequencing: SIP runs in the summer and is an established conversion channel for PPOs; the placement report records programme-wise averages and PPO counts used during final placement months. Practical interpretation for aspirants: expect active employer engagement from September onwards, with the bulk of final offers landing between November and January and PPOs established immediately after SIP (July–August).
Prepare documentation, updated CV and role-specific casework before September; use April–June SIP to secure PPO potential.
Interpreting the numbers: ROI and role quality
FORE School of Management, New Delhi placements show how headline figures (highest, average and median) should be read to set realistic expectations about return on investment and the quality of roles offered.
Average and median reflect different realities: the official Placement Report 2024–26 lists an average CTC of INR 16.53 LPA and a median CTC of INR 16.20 LPA (official report published Oct 2026). Use the median to understand the typical outcome for most students; the average can be pulled upward by top offers in the INR 20–26 LPA range reported for top percentiles and sector highs.
Below is a concise table showing percentile-level averages and medians published in the official placement Overview. All cells are taken from the FORE placement report (Placement Report 2024–26, published Oct 2026).
| Percentile Group | Average CTC (INR LPA) | Median CTC (INR LPA) |
|---|---|---|
| Top 10% | 23.69 | 24.30 |
| Top 25% | 22.02 | 21.60 |
| Top 50% | 19.25 | 18.90 |
| Entire batch | 16.52 | 16.20 |
Interpretation: if your career target is a consultancy or finance role, the top percentiles show realistic salary ceilings (~22–24 LPA). For general placement expectations, the entire-batch median of INR 16.20 LPA is the most reliable indicator of typical starting pay; offers above INR 20 LPA are concentrated in the top 25%.
- Use percentile data to compare specific role-quality: consulting, BFSI and IT sector highs in the report indicate where premium roles clustered.
- Compare the median with your net cost (tuition and living) to assess payback horizon; FORE’s published fee for 2027 PGDM programmes is available on official admissions pages (check programme page for exact inclusions).
- When evaluating offers, prefer the median and top-25 averages for negotiating expected career trajectories rather than only the highest package.
CAUTION: The placement report figures cited are from the FORE Placement Report 2024–26 (published Oct 2026). Verify programme-specific outcomes on the official placement PDF for admission-cycle 2027.

Batch profile and intake size
The 2024–26 graduating batch profile influenced FORE School of Management, New Delhi placements through a balanced intake and diverse academic backgrounds. Official placement material for the 2024–26 cycle reports a total cohort size of 480 admitted students with 464 graduates; 441 of those graduates were placed, giving a placement participation context for the reported figures (Placement Report 2024–26, published on FSM website and summarised in reports updated Oct 2026).
Batch composition: the institution’s published data shows a mix of freshers and experienced hires and programme-wise distribution that affects role allocation. NIRF and the official placement report indicate the PGDM group included students across core PGDM, PGDM-IB, PGDM-FM and PGDM-BDA, and programme-wise averages varied—the PGDM-FM programme recorded the highest programme-wise average in the report (PGDM-FM INR 17.01 LPA), while PGDM-BDA averaged INR 15.65 LPA (Placement Report 2024–26; official PDF).
Below table summarises the important batch metrics used in FORE’s placement calculations.
| Metric | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Total students admitted (2023‑24) | 480 | Official intake for PGDM programmes, reported in placement Overview (Oct 2026) |
| Graduated students (2024‑26) | 464 | Students graduating in minimum stipulated time per placement report |
| Students placed (2024‑26) | 441 | Number reported in placement statistics (NIRF / official report) |
| Placement percentage (2024‑26) | 95.04% | Calculated as placed/graduated; reported in Careers360 Overview (updated Oct 16, 2026) |
| PPOs | 39 | Pre-placement offers recorded in the FORE placement report |
| Programme-wise note | PGDM-FM highest avg | PGDM-FM average INR 17.01 LPA; PGDM-BDA average INR 15.65 LPA (Placement Report 2024–26) |
Interpretation: a near-96% placement rate and programme-specific averages show that specialisation influences role quality—finance and core PGDM streams reported marginally higher averages. A large admitted batch with multiple PGDM streams supports recruiter variety; programme-level strengths (for example, FM and IB) help explain sector clustering in BFSI, consulting and IT hires.
