Final Placements : IIM Indore - Class of 2013

The administration and students involved with placements at IIM Indore deserve a pat on the back for conducting a successful placement season in an extremely tough year. For a campus that is just 15 years old, IIM Indore is fast maturing as one of India's premier campuses for many top recruiters.  14 students were still to be placed when this report was published but considering the employment scenario and the struggle of many older and more accomplished schools (a few top schools still need to place many more students), managing to find career opportunities for over 400 students is an achievement.

(Please note that the names in the report include companies that offered PPOs and may not have visited the campus for Final Placements. Summer Placement - Class of 2013 is here)

Presence of big names like Boston Consulting Group (3rd consecutive year of recruitment at IIM I), Bank of America, Procter & Gamble, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, ebay, Deutsche Bank, Standard Chartered, TAS etc. will inspire a lot of confidence among aspirants and future recruiters but what is note worthy is the balance in various sectors and domains.  General Management is strong and boasts of all big names (except Aditya Birla Group). Consulting is impressive. Banking and Finance is good for this particular year especially Corporate Banking. FMCG space is not IIM Indore's strength and they probably need to bolster it further. Telecom, E-Commerce, Technology, Pharma, Media are well represented too.  An IIM Indore student can't complain of lack of options. It is the big batch size that makes it very competitive. There still a long way to go before IIM I can be spoken of in the same breath of IIM ABCL but they are on their way for sure. One more aspect that IIM Indore needs to work on is number of offers per company especially the big names.
