Placement Release, IIM Calcutta
After a brilliant run in the lateral placements process with the highest number of offers across IIMs, IIM Calcutta kicked off its final placement process to a magnificent start on 3th March with bigwigs across sectors offering diverse roles to students from the batch of 2011.
Finance, considered IIM Calcutta’s stronghold, saw a manifold increase in the number of offers made compared to last year, with investment banks like UBS, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank and HSBC picking up many students. The offers were for desks across the globe including Singapore. Students had already received pre-placement offers from firms like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Barclays Capital, Royal Bank of Scotland, JP Morgan and Credit Suisse. Daiwa Securities, a Japanese investment bank, recruited 6 students exclusively from IIM Calcutta this year.
Consulting firms made the most number of offers on day 0, with the usual favorite Mckinsey & Co making 13 offers including 4 pre-placement offers (the highest number of offers made by the firm at any campus in the country). The firm recruited for its Singapore, Sydney and India offices. BCG, Bain & Co and AT Kearney recruited in large numbers as well. Essex Lake group, a global consulting firm, recruited exclusively from IIM Calcutta as well.
IIM Calcutta went into placements today with 230+ offers already in hand, including figures from pre-placement offers and the laterals process. The high point, though, was not just the numbers but the varied and interesting profiles offered to the students. Private Equity firm Gaja Capital hired exclusively at IIM Calcutta and made 3 offers. Customer solutions firm DPDHL hired a student for an in-house consulting role for its office in Miami as well.
