IIM-A (Indian Institute of Management, Ahmadabad) started its cohort based final placement process on Monday, February 13, 2012. Despite of the alarming economic slowdown, institute witnessed the presence of its major regular international recruiters such as McKinsey, Credit Suisse, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Bain & Co, Accenture, HSBC, AT Kearney and Oliver Wyman.
The institute hosted the 1st cluster of the placement process for 2 cohorts – International investment banks and global strategy consulting. The highest number of offers were made by the BCG by recruiting 17 PGP (Post Graduate Program in Management) students this year.
The sources from BCG expressed that they prefer hiring students from IIM-A campus and in future also they will continue recruiting students in large numbers with the growth of their business. BCG has been one of the major regular international recruiters at IIM-A since last many years.
Majority of offers were extended for domestic roles while few offers were made for international job locations which included countries such as New York and London.
A total number of 372 PGP students are participating this year in cohort based placement process of IIM-A. The institute has abridged the duration of its placement process this year by decreasing the gap between clusters to 2 days from the previous gap of 1 week. Earlier the institute took 1 month to complete the entire placement process while this year the process will take less than 2 weeks to get completed.
The institute will host the 2nd cluster of its cohort-based placement process on February 17, 2012.
