How is the average package of IIIT Guwahati 12.75, but the median package is 6.5 (low)?

The average salary package is calculated by dividing the total number of students placed from the total amount offered. Whereas the median salary package is taken into account by approximating the middle of all the offers made to the students after arranging them in ascending order.

A small number of two to four students were able to land high package offers, resulting in a high average package whereas the median package provides an insight of the average package received by maximum students.
