IIM-A completed placement much before schedule

IIM-Ahmedabad's first-year PGP batch completed its placement process much ahead of its schedule time. In this placement session, more than 130 companies participated in three different clusters of placement.
There were many recruiters who were willing to recruit students, but because of early completion companies that were planning to visit campus as part of fourth cluster canceled their schedule as there were no more students to participate in the session.


Amith J M, a member of Student Placement Committee, mentioned that the process completed early because students find interesting offers of their choices in the companies that participated the first three clusters.
The committee was not ready to disclose the names of participating firms that were slotted for cluster four or whether all 383 students from the present batch participated in the placement process.
On the other side, second-year PGP student said the early recruitment of the first-year students for the summer internships is 'encouraging' for the upcoming final placements for their batch. They also mentioned that summer placement had completed ahead of the time in all IIMs too.
According to the recent placement reports, 366 students from IIM Kozhikode within 25 days, whereas IIM Calcutta managed to place 466 students in just four days, while IIM-Lucknow students get placed in 453 students being picked up in five days.
At IIMA's third cluster, firms from e-commerce sector visited in significant number. Students who got recruited by these companies will intern in respective companies for about two months during their summer vacations in 2013.
Some of big names from the financial sector such as Axis bank, HDFC and World Bank participated in the placement process and recruited students. FMCG and consulting firms were also participants in the process.
