About ASBM University Bhubaneswar

ASBM University, officially Asian School of Business Management University, is a private university in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. It originated as the Asian School of Business Management, a standalone private business school established in 2006, and was granted university status in 2019 through the ASBM University, Odisha Act, 2019. The institution was founded by Prof. (Dr.) Biswajeet Pattanayak, a former professor at IIM Indore and IIM Lucknow and a noted management scholar. Located at Shiksha Vihar, Bhola, near Chandaka Wildlife Sanctuary on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar, ASBM University focuses on value-based, industry-oriented higher education in management and allied disciplines.

ASBM University is recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC) as a private university and earlier, as an institute, it ran AICTE-approved management programmes. Its MBA and related business programmes hold international accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programmes (ACBSP), USA, and the institution is also accredited by the South Asian Quality Assurance System (SAQS). The legacy management programme had National Board of Accreditation (NBA) accreditation and equivalence from the Association of Indian Universities.

Academically, ASBM University has evolved from a management-only institute to a multidisciplinary university. It functions through specialised schools: ASBM School of Business, ASBM School of Accountancy, ASBM School of Liberal Arts, ASBM School of Information System and ASBM School of Law. The university offers more than 25 programmes across undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral levels, including flagship MBA and BBA programmes, B.Com, M.Com, BCA, MCA, BA, B.Sc, integrated BBA+MBA, BA LLB (Hons), BBA LLB (Hons) and LLM, along with PhD in management and related areas.

Cutoff 2024

JEE Main Cutoff - BTech

ASBM University Bhubaneswar offers BTech on a merit basis using JEE Main/OJEE/ASBMUEE scores, but no official 2024 JEE Main/OJEE opening–closing rank data or category-wise rank cutoffs are published for its BTech Computer Science & IT or other engineering branches. Admission details emphasise minimum Class 12 marks and a valid JEE Main/ASBMUEE score, without disclosing branch-wise or round-wise rank cutoffs.

CAT / XAT / MAT Cutoff - MBA

ASBM University uses multiple exams (CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, ATMA, ASBMUEE) for MBA selection. For 2024, the institute and major aggregators report explicit overall percentile cutoffs for the General category, common across MBA specialisations.

State Entrance Cutoff

OJEE publishes opening and closing ranks for participating institutes, but ASBM University’s specific OJEE 2024 rank cutoffs for BTech or MBA are not listed in publicly available round-wise PDFs. The university’s admission portals and major aggregators describe use of OJEE scores but do not provide numeric state-rank cutoffs by category.

Other Entrance Cutoffs (GATE / M.Tech etc.)

ASBM University offers MTech (Information Technology) but current admission information shows selection on qualifying degree marks and ASBM’s own criteria. No GATE-based 2024 cutoff scores, category-wise or round-wise, are published for ASBM University Bhubaneswar.

Placements 2024-25

Placement Highlights

Publicly available data for ASBM University Bhubaneswar is fragmented and largely course‑specific. The most structured recent figures relate to the **2024–25 (2025) overall placement snapshot** reported by private aggregators and to the **MBA 2022** batch. For the latest consolidated overall data:

• Highest CTC: ₹9.00 LPA (names reported among top recruiters include Haldiram, PhonePe, ESAF, HCL, OYO, ITC, Bajaj)
• Average CTC: ₹6.00 LPA
• Placement Rate: 75% (overall university figure cited for 2025 drive)
• Top sectors: Food & Beverages, BFSI, FMCG, IT/ITES, Logistics
• Companies Visited: “More than 50” companies take part in the annual drive for all programmes

For **MBA placements (2021–23 cycle reported in 2022)**, commonly cited numbers are: - Highest CTC: ₹10.00 LPA - Placement Rate: 100% for MBA - Average CTC: around ₹5.00 LPA (MBA specific) The university’s official placement page highlights strong placement for the **2022–2024 graduating class**, but does not yet publish a detailed numeric 2024–25 report; figures above come from compiled placement information and student/third‑party reports, not from a single official PDF. Because no authentic public source provides a full official 2024–25 table with median CTC, lowest CTC, total offers, PPO count or exact number of students placed, those items cannot be reported reliably and are therefore omitted rather than estimated.

Top Recruiters

Across recent batches (MBA and UG) the following companies consistently appear as prominent recruiters for ASBM University Bhubaneswar:

• Haldirams – Food & Beverages / FMCG
• PhonePe – Fintech / Digital Payments
• HCL – IT/ITES
• Tech Mahindra – IT/ITES
• Deloitte – Consulting / Advisory
• ICICI Bank – Banking / Financial Services
• HDFC Bank – Banking / Financial Services
• Axis Bank – Banking / Financial Services
• Max Life / SBI Life / Bajaj Allianz – Insurance / Financial Services
• Reliance Retail – Retail / FMCG
• Nestlé – FMCG
• Berger Paints / Asian Paints – Manufacturing / FMCG
• Delhivery / Blue Dart – Logistics & Supply Chain
• Godrej – Conglomerate / FMCG / Manufacturing
• Toppr / Vedantu – EdTech
• Decathlon / Lifestyle / Max Fashion – Retail
• Bisleri – Beverages
• Collabera – IT Staffing / Services
• RED FM – Media & Entertainment

These names cut across **IT/Software, Consulting, Finance/Banking, FMCG, Logistics, Retail and Media**, which together form the bulk of ASBM’s placement ecosystem.

Branch-wise Placement

Open sources do not provide a credible, numeric, **branch‑wise** placement breakup (students, placed, highest, average) for ASBM University for 2024 or 2024‑25. They only provide **percentage‑wise distribution by broad course group** such as BBA, BCom, BSc and BTech, without salary values. Because of this, a detailed branch‑wise placement table with exact student counts and salary figures cannot be created from verified data and is therefore not included.

Sector-wise Distribution

Only qualitative sectoral information is available. Recent placement cycles show strong presence in:

• IT/Software and ITES
• Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI)
• FMCG and Retail
• Logistics and Supply Chain
• EdTech and Services
• Media and Advertising

No reliable public document gives an exact **percentage‑wise** sector distribution for the 2024 or 2024‑25 placement year; any numeric split would be speculative and is therefore omitted.

Placement Trends

- **MBA placements**: The university has consistently projected **100% placement** for its flagship MBA, with a highest CTC of around ₹10 LPA for the 2021–2023 MBA cycle and an average close to ₹5 LPA, then stabilising around the ₹9 LPA highest CTC mark in more recent overall reports. - **Overall university placements**: Aggregated sources for the 2025 cycle cite an overall placement rate of about **75%** with a **highest CTC of ₹9 LPA** and **average of ₹6 LPA**, suggesting a gap between MBA and non‑MBA outcomes but a generally improving average for the university as a whole. - **Recruiter base**: The recruiter pool has deepened from primarily BFSI and FMCG earlier to a more diverse mix including IT services, logistics, retail, EdTech and media, with recurring participation from brands such as Deloitte, ICICI Bank, Tech Mahindra, HCL, Haldirams, Reliance Retail, Delhivery and others. - **Salary movement**: Over the last few reported cycles, the **top‑end CTC band** has hovered between ₹9–10 LPA, while typical averages reported in reviews cluster around ₹4–6 LPA depending on programme, indicating moderate but steady improvement rather than sharp jumps. Because ASBM has not yet published a complete official 2024–25 placement report in the public domain, all numeric insights above are based on converging values from multiple credible third‑party sources and past official statements rather than a single comprehensive university PDF.
