Claimed: Average domestic salary: Rs 13.64 lakh
Actual: The actual average salary is in the range of Rs 8 to 10 lakh. As you can see above, only a total of five students secured jobs with a salary higher than Rs 13.64 lakh, so there is no way the school could have achieved the claimed average salary. Even if one assumed that the two unaccounted for students and the third student with the MuSigma offer (whose salary range we were not able to access) together stretched the salary to the claimed Rs 13.64 lakh, they would each have to earn on an average Rs 1.14 crore in order for the placement report's claim to be valid. In which case, the highest salary at DMS, IIT Delhi this year would be above a crore rupees, which is not the case. The possibility of DMS having included rejected offers to calculate the average seems implausible, unless the batch in question was nursing a mass fetish for rejecting higher-paying offers.
