India's Campus Hiring Shows Resilience Amid Selective Employer Demand and Stable Salaries
India's campus hiring market remains resilient with employers increasingly selective about skills and job readiness, according to Aon's 15th annual Campus Study Report 2026-27. While median salaries for IIT and top IIM graduates are expected to remain flat at Rs 16.46 lakh and Rs 26 lakh respectively, Tier-1 engineering and management colleges may see modest pay rises. Demand is strong for Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries, interns, diploma holders, and engineers, though overall intake sizes show limited growth.
