Salary in India After Management Course

Factors on which Management Course salary in India depends

Like any other industry, the remuneration of a Management professional primarily depends on the following factors:

Educational qualification

We live in a country that gives a lot of weightage to not only the education qualification but also the brand name of the college/ university. Earning a degree from a tier 1 college could land up a higher salary as compared to the relatively lower tiers. Similarly, the level of education i.e. whether you have pursued a Master’s degree or a PhD./ Doctoral degree will command a better price in the market for you. 

Years of Experience


The years of experience are another factor that is essential for determining how high up the salary ladder you will be when getting a job or changing companies. Typically, a fresher fetches a lower salary as compared to a professional with decent years of experience.

There is a 28.4% increase in Management salaries for experienced candidates with over 10 years of experience. In mid-career, management graduates can expect a salary hike of up to 33.2%.

Location / Geographies


Owing to the cost of living across cities, the geographical location of your posting impacts your salary. Mumbai is the highest paying city, followed by Bangalore. The salaries you could fetch in tier 1 cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore are far more than the rural or tier 2, or tier 3 cities.


Specialization


The specialization you opted for, whether it is Finance or Marketing, Human Resources or Information Technology, makes a difference to a candidate's salary too.
