Brilliantly Done placement report :thumbsup:

I am talking more about the sexy way C has countered the B marketing plan by this...

Highest Domestic Average Salary 9.81L :shocked: across all the IIMs for a class as big as 249:shocked:... Frankly this one I am not willing to believe yet:sly:

Looks like the top two studs at B were all random international folks... While at C the real desi CAT studs rocked

213 Engineers out of 250... That is just way too much:sad:
Also Can someone clarify the difference in placements for PGDM and PGDCM...

Desi Guru,

There is absolutely no difference in the opportunities available to PGDCM and PGDM in the placements.

The only difference between these two is that PGDCM students need to do some basic systems related courses in 1st year. Thats it.

cheers for IIMC guys....man these figures are amazing....

IIMC Placements rocked bigtime this time around!!
One of the more heartening facts was that the placements were structured in such a way that students got the dream jobs they wanted... in the specialization of their choice... rather than having a mad rush to finish the placements asap and get your names and numbers in the papers....

as for me... im just jumping with joy!!!

DCM guys have to do a couple of sys related courses in two years which are not compulsary for DM guys .... this is the start and end of difference between DCM n DM ....
in placements, company could not care less whether you are DCM or DM ... in every sector, work profile you will also find DCM junta along with DM junta .. be it consulting, I Banking, Finance, Marketing, Systems, Operation or anything else under the sun ...

Absolutely true....
At the end of the day almost everyone had atleast 2-3 offers to choose from implying that students had the liberty to choose their dream companies/jobs and set their own preferences & choices

Thatz amazingggg.. from what i have heard the slotting was done in such a way that everyone gets the choice of the jobs they want rather than rushing with placements to earn brownie points from media...
It did require guts to do that and i believe only IIM's can do that and C has proved that it is the best at when it is the placements of 250 odd people at hand..After all placements are not about slot 0 or highest salaries or i bankings... it is about the whole batch....
Congratulations to all those involved...
Enjoy the moment now..:)

can anyone give any information about number of people placed in strategy consulting

can anyone give any information about number of people placed in strategy consulting



Can anybody give me the profile of the students who get the highest job offers , particularly in investment banking domains?
Beside grades and superb academic career throughout your life, what do the investment banks look for?

Grades and Superb Academic Career. Thats exactly what they look for. But if you are heavy on stats, everything else is overlooked.

Strategy Consulting: Across slots the no. would be 50 +.

But arent most people who are placed abroad in the better jobs... those who have summer experience abroad... So basically isnt it your previous acads, profile and work that counts the most...

Can only the short profiles without names of the top job grabbers be available... Or someone at C could just give an overview using the data available to you on what background is getting what kind of top offers in india and abroad...

KOLKATA: Guess where Wall Street is getting its latest whizkids from this year? Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta. At the end of its 06 placements, 30 students from Joka are headed for Wall Street, of whom 15 will work full-time and 15 will be summer interns.

While IIM-C still retains the record for the highest-ever salary package of $2,25,000 in 01, it has maintained that its leadership also in Placements 06 by attracting the highest average domestic salary of Rs 9.8 lakh across campuses. Last year, the highest salary figure here was Rs 8.3 lakh.

IIM-C has also achieved the highest lateral salary $1,03,000. This is also the first time the figure has crossed $1,00,000 in laterals at any IIM, according to data compiled by IIM-Cs placement cell. IIM-C has also placed the largest batch of 249 students across the top three IIMs.

Significantly, some 77 foreign job offers were made across slots, of which 51 were accepted. This year, IIM-C also notched up the highest number of domestic (64) and international accepts ( across all IIMs in laterals.Slot 0 firms (those who recruited on March 6 and 7) included global giants like Merrill Lynch, UBS, ABN AMRO, Bloomberg and BCG and Credit Suisse (2) and Ameriprise (2).


Even Bloomberg, which powers international banking platforms, came in for the first time and hired six students for positions in New York.The presence of SUN Private Equity and Johnson Electric during placements this year reaffirmed the institutes status as a prefered destination for niche firms.

There was a 51% increase in the number of Slot 0 accepts, up from 42 to 64. Some 27 new firms participated in the placements this year, including eight in Slot 0. New recruiters included Merrill Lynch, ABN Amro HK, CSFB -India, Dell, Essar group, Hinduja group, Oracle, Pepsi, RPG, Reliance Industries, SAP, Techspan, Trilogy and UBS India.

The institute has also managed to achieve the distinction of placing students across every profile in investment banking: pricing, structuring, trading, sale, strategy and advisory.The highest domestic salary in Slot 0 was Rs 23 lakh with $1,52,000 as the highest international offer. In Slot 1 (March 8 & 9), the highest domestic salary touched Rs 16.75 lakh with $ 1,25,000 as the highest international offer, while the highest salary recorded in Slot 2 was Rs 12.5 lakh.

High end consulting also retained its grip on the campus with top tier firms like McKinsey (6), BCG, and AT Kearney, hiring some 17 students. This apart, traditional, old economy was also present in full force. Global steel giant Mittal Steel picked up three students, more than the other top IIMs combined. Johnson Electrics exclusive recruitment for four international positions at IIM-C also bears testimony to the institutes reputation in operations and supply chain management.

C above A & B in manager jobs
- Comparative index pegs Joka campus foremost in offers and salaries

[LEFT]Being good is not good enough, and nowhere more so than on the big B-school campuses at this time of the year. With six-figure salaries raining down on the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) addresses from A to B to C its all about being the best in the recruitment ring.[/LEFT]
[LEFT]And Calcutta, after staying mum while Ahmedabad and Bangalore slugged it out over salary highs, has decided to have the last laugh. In a carefully-crafted comparative index prepared on the Joka campus, IIM-C has been pegged above IIM-A and IIM-B in average domestic salary, highest domestic salary, highest international lateral offer, maximum foreign offers, and more (see box).[/LEFT]
[LEFT]But why wait till Bangalore and Ahmedabad have hogged the cash-and-career headlines? This is something we do not prescribe to. All this (trumpeting of salaries) leads to increased pressure on the students. We prefer giving the median salary figures, instead. It has to be remembered that we are providing a service only, said Ranjan Das, chairperson, placement committee, IIM Calcutta.[/LEFT]
[LEFT]This was echoed by the e-mails dashed off to director Prakash Apte by Gaurav Agarwal and Venkatesh Shankaraman, who had bagged the highest salary offer at IIM-Bangalore. They pleaded that their salary details must not be made public for the safety of their families. Agarwal has an offer for US $193,000 from Barclays Capital, London, and Shankaraman Rs 30 lakh from McKinsey, in Mumbai.[/LEFT]
[LEFT]We strongly feel such details are personal and should not be made public This has caused a lot of personal problems for us, they said, adding that the salary figures had been made public without their consent. This trend, warned the duo, could lead to a tussle of one-upmanship among various IIMs, affecting credibility in the long run.[/LEFT]
[LEFT]The final recruitment programme having got over on March 17, the entire batch of 249 students at Joka, the largest amongst the six IIMs, has been placed in three slots, with a total of 505 offers to choose from. [/LEFT]
[LEFT]Of 114 companies that had confirmed their participation in the recruitment programme, the first 89 managed to snap up the entire class of 2006.[/LEFT]
[LEFT]Recruitments continue to be on an upswing. They have been excellent, especially considering that Slot Three (after Slot Zero, One and Two) was not required at all. It is evident that the IIMs have become global sourcing centres, said placement committee chairperson Das.[/LEFT]
[LEFT]Some of the recruitment highs at Joka were:[/LEFT]
[LEFT] Slot Zero (64 accepts out of 85 offers), saw the maximum number of recruits from Calcutta[/LEFT]
[LEFT] Lateral recruitment (for students with work experience) was 72 accepts out of 150-plus offers[/LEFT]
[LEFT] Lateral international offers were in excess of $100,000, a first for any campus[/LEFT]
[LEFT] Mittal Steel made more offers in Calcutta than in Ahmedabad and Bangalore combined.[/LEFT]
[LEFT] Lateral placements and summer internship programmes (SIP) have become leading indicators of how the final recruitments are going to be. The exceptional number of pre-placement offers (PPO) garnered by IIM Calcutta students during their SIP have played an intrinsic role in the success of our final recruitment programme, observed Das.[/LEFT]

How does a summer intern program work? Is it like a probationary offer??

convolutedsignal Says
How does a summer intern program work? Is it like a probationary offer??


I think all foreign companies come for summers with a possible ppo in mind... Its like a 10 week job interview as i read elsewhere

But not all desi companies come with a ppo offer in mind... They prefer waiting to recruit at the end... Ofcourse some actual Bschool students should speak on this:)

One more thing if some IIM C guys show up here...

What is the average CAT percentile of junta there... I can see some 100%ilers mentioned... What is the range and what is a par percentile for an admit in general... Anyone know how much the GD/PI counts over percentile etc...

I can see as a whole the placements at IIM C are the next best after IIM A as usual... But someone do come up with details of profiles and jobs etc...
