It is that time of the year – the recruitment season when universities and colleges flaunt the job offers their graduates have grabbed.
IIM-C has scaled the summit at the job placement scene.
Neither the global economic meltdown nor a gloomy employment scenario deterred IIM-C graduates from grabbing the best job offers this season.
The highlights:
- Hundred percent placement for the class of 2021.
- Four hundred and sixty-seven students have grabbed five hundred plus job offers.
- One hundred and seventy recruiters participated in IIM-C’s recruitment drive this year.
- Average pay package grew by a lakh of rupees to Rs. 29,00,000.
- Median salary grew to Rs. 27,00,000
- Consulting emerged as the top recruiter attracting thirty-two percent of students
The recruitment drive took place virtually through the pandemic. One hundred and seventy firms engaged in the final recruitment in three clusters.

Abhishek Goel, a professor and head of the placement committee at IIM Calcutta, commented on the school’s ongoing efforts in bolstering the placement drive with multiple opportunities. He said that IIM-C had to sustain the provision for keeping multiple offers for a student open. Students raised to the occasion and came out in flying colors.
Adding another feather in IIM’s cap is a new IIM – IIM Nagpur. One of the young IIMs, IIM Nagpur accomplished hundred percent recruitments for its outgoing graduates. More than fifty percent of the job offers came from consulting, IT, and financials.
IIM-Ahmedabad has completed two-thirds of its placement process for the post-graduate programclass of 2021 in two clusters.
All the four hundred and thirty-five graduates of IIM Bangalore’s class of 2021 have also recorded hundred percent job placements.
