When you look at Tier 3 cities, you should not expect good placements as compared to those you might bag in metro cities. The same is true for IMS Indore as well. It could be the best college in Madhya Pradesh, but the MBA program offered by the college is clearly not as enriching as that offered in a metro city. This will eventually affect placements which will cause them to be poorer.
From what most of us have observed, not all students will get placed. Only about 50% of the total students will possibly land a job with the highest salary offered at INR 6.5 lakhs per annum. The lowest salary offered is INR 3.5 lakhs per annum.
None the less, there are quite a few placement services offered by the college. These include summer placement and training that are offered on a regular basis. They also have strong linkages with the industry and many public organizations.
Some of the recruiters at the college include ITC, Nestle, Aditya Birla, Johnson & Johnson, Asian Paints and Deloitte. Another helpful point that could possibly interest you is the collaboration for MBA in Hospital Administration that the college has with Tulane University in the US.
As a suggestion, you should look for colleges in Maharashtra for an MBA as that will definitely help you seek better opportunities than IMS Indore.
Almost all students who are serious about their job get placed at IMS DAVV. Placement records of sales and marketing fields are amazing when compared to the finance or HR field at the Indian Institute of Management studies DAVV. The domestic package offered might range from 3.5 to 6.5 LPA. One thing worth mentioning is that you are competing with IIPS students along with your batchmates at IMS as there will be common placement sessions for both campuses most of the time.

Clearly, placement at IMS DAVV is not that great. The average package offered from the past few years has a trend of 3.5- 6.5 LPA
Having friends in both colleges, in my opinion, ISBS Pune is much better than IIM Indore. Let me share some details, as to why I feel this way.
