Indian graduate entrants into the local job market stand towards the bottom of the Asia-Pacific pay league, according to the latest Asia-Pacific starting salary study by Towers Watson’s Data Services.
“At an average pay of US $ 400, graduate monthly starting salaries in India are particularly low, ranking 9th out of the top 11 Asia-Pacific economies, and being less than one-fifth of equivalent salaries in South Korea and Singapore.”
Middle level
Indian salaries for experienced professionals at middle management level are slightly more competitive. Yet, despite the recent push in its manufacturing sector and popularity of the IT sector, an engineering manager in India earns a salary ($ 56,530) that is almost half of his China counterpart ($1,12,070) and one-third of his Singapore counterpart ($ 1,51,168).
