Agnihotri said the highest domestic offer was Rs 75 lakh, which was higher by Rs 15 lakh than last year's and the average domestic package was higher at Rs 15.32 lakh from Rs 12.70 lakh in 2008-09.
Finance and consulting ruled the roost with placement being secured by 36 per cent of the total students, he said.
Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Nomura, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, Royal Bank of Scotland, Temasek Holdings, Accenture, Oliver Wyman, McKinsey & Co, A.T Kearney, ITC, Godrej, Johnson & Johnson were the recruiting companies.
He said that the placement process would be reviewed from next summer to accommodate a larger number of students.
