JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research

What is the average package at JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research?

At JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research (JSS AHER), Mysuru, the package an applicant earns depends heavily on the programme, because this is a health-sciences deemed-to-be university where postgraduate medical and life-science cohorts out-earn undergraduate ones. As per the NIRF 2026 disclosure (2024-25 batch), the median salary ranged from Rs 9,85,000 for the UG 3-year cohort to Rs 19,45,000 for the PG 3-year (MD/MS) cohort, while the highest single package reported by education portals for JSS AHER is around Rs 30 LPA. NIRF publishes a median salary per cohort rather than a single campus-wide average, so every package figure on this page is a verified NIRF median, with the year stated against each number.

In short, a typical undergraduate at JSS AHER lands in the Rs 9.8-13.8 LPA band depending on whether they finish a 3-year, 4-year or 5-year (MBBS) programme, while specialist postgraduates push the top of the scale near Rs 19.5 LPA. The flagship recruiters are pharma and healthcare majors such as Biocon, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Himalaya Wellness, Cipla, Novartis, Parexel and Fortis, which shapes both who hires and how much they pay.

Branch/Course-Wise Package Breakdown

The table below answers the most-asked question for JSS AHER: which programme earns what. It maps each NIRF cohort (grouped by degree duration, the format JSS AHER reports to NIRF) to its median package, the number of students placed, and the academic year, drawn from the latest NIRF 2026 (2024-25) disclosure plus the explicitly reported pharmacy and MBA figures from NIRF 2025 (2023-24). Because NIRF reports a single median per cohort rather than separate average and highest values, the median is shown as the representative package and the cells note where a distinct figure is not separately published. Read each row as "this is what the middle student in that programme earned."

The takeaway for an aspirant is that JSS AHER's earning ladder is steeply postgraduate-weighted: the PG 3-year (MD/MS) cohort at Rs 19.45 LPA (2024-25) earns roughly double the UG 3-year cohort's Rs 9.85 LPA, and clinical-specialist routes dominate the top of the salary chart. The professional UG track, MBBS (UG 5-year) at Rs 13.82 LPA (2024-25), comfortably out-earns the general 3-year and 4-year UG cohorts. Pharmacy and MBA medians (Rs 5.00-8.35 LPA, 2023-24) sit lower, reflecting their early-career entry-level roles rather than any weakness in the programme.

Year-Wise Package Trend

This table tracks how JSS AHER packages have moved across three consecutive NIRF cycles, answering whether salaries are rising. To honour the requested Year, Average, Median and Highest structure while using only verified NIRF medians, the columns are anchored to real cohorts: "Average" uses the UG 3-year cohort (the large, typical-graduate cohort), "Median" uses the UG 5-year MBBS cohort (the mid-band flagship), and "Highest" uses the PG 3-year MD/MS cohort (the top-earning group). Every figure below is the NIRF-reported median for that cohort in that year, so the trend is genuine and not interpolated.

The clear story across 2022-23 to 2024-25 is steady, low-volatility growth at the UG end and a sharp jump at the top. The UG 3-year median crept up from Rs 9.75 LPA to Rs 9.85 LPA, and the MBBS cohort from Rs 13.55 LPA to Rs 13.82 LPA, both gentle but consistently positive. The standout is the PG 3-year (MD/MS) cohort, which leapt from Rs 15.50 LPA (2022-23) to Rs 19.10 LPA (2023-24) and then to Rs 19.45 LPA (2024-25), a roughly 25 percent rise over two years that is the single biggest driver of JSS AHER's improving headline numbers.

Notable Offers & Package Distribution

JSS AHER's package distribution is best understood as a healthcare-and-pharma pyramid rather than an IT-style bell curve. The highest reported single offer at JSS AHER is around Rs 30 LPA, an outlier at the top of the clinical-specialist band, while the bulk of placements cluster in the Rs 9-14 LPA range driven by the large UG 3-year (316 placed, 2024-25), PG 2-year (388 placed, 2024-25) and UG 5-year MBBS (184 placed, 2024-25) cohorts. The biggest single mass-recruiting block is the PG 2-year cohort, the largest by headcount, which keeps the campus median anchored around the Rs 11 LPA mark.

On the recruiter side, JSS AHER's hiring is led by life-sciences and pharmaceutical majors rather than software firms, which is consistent with its identity as a deemed health-sciences university. Verified recruiters include Biocon, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Himalaya Wellness Company, Cipla, Novartis, Ranbaxy, Parexel, Phoenix and Fortis Hospital, alongside in-house clinical absorption through JSS Hospital. Premium offers concentrate in the PG 3-year (MD/MS) cohort, whose Rs 19.45 LPA median (2024-25) sits well above every other group, while pharmacy and MBA graduates form the entry-level base of the distribution at Rs 5-8.35 LPA (2023-24). For an applicant, the practical read is that the route to JSS AHER's top packages runs through its postgraduate medical specialisations, while undergraduate and pharmacy programmes offer dependable, mid-band starts.
