Students received offers across diverse domains, including Consulting, Finance, Product Management, Sales and Marketing, General Management, and Analytics.

Marking a record high, Management Consulting accounted for 46% of all offers, up from 38% last year. Roles in Investment Banking and E-commerce domains, in particular, saw a notable increase, while offers from the Healthcare sector rose by over 70% (23 offers). Nearly 30% of the participating organisations were first-time recruiters.

Prof. Nishant Kumar Verma, Chairperson of Career Development Services, IIM Bangalore, stated: “The PGP and PGPBA cohorts delivered an outstanding performance during the Summer Placement Week. The process was managed with remarkable efficiency and professionalism by the Placement Committee in close collaboration with the CDS Office. We deeply value the continued trust of our recruiting partners and look forward to strengthening these relationships further.”

Mr. Tapas Ranjan Pati, Head of Career Development Services, stated, “Leading global recruiters shared highly positive feedback on both the students’ performance and the efficiency of the overall process. Management Consulting emerged as the most preferred domain, accounting for 46% of the offers, followed by Investment Banking and Product Management. Legacy recruiters from Conglomerate, FMCG and General Management continue to hire in big numbers.  We would also like to highlight the record number of offers made by Accenture Strategy this year.”

The Eleven-member student Placement Committee said, “With 601 students, the largest batch among all IIMs, this placement season witnessed strong participation from both legacy as well as new recruiters, with about 30% being first-time recruiters.
