Offer categories

Categories reflect the drive label; CTC alone does not always determine it.

Dream

Below ₹12 LPA

The 12 LPA boundary belongs to Open Dream.

Open Dream

₹12 LPA and above

Some offers at or above ₹50 LPA still carry this label, depending on when the company visits.

Super Dream

₹50 LPA and above

A separate drive category. Early high-paying companies such as LinkedIn and InMobi are not automatically classified as Super Dream.

Placement rules

Super Dream eligibility

Students without any offer or whose accepted offer CTC is ≤ ₹20 LPA can sit for Super Dream drives.

While a PPO result is pending

Students can continue taking part in placements until the PPO result is announced.

First offer takes priority

The first offer to arrive must be accepted. Students cannot hold a placement offer and a PPO to choose between them later.
