The final placement report of IIM Calcutta is here. The report below given to us by the Placement Committee at IIM Calcutta only reaffirms that it is among the top 2-3 campuses when it comes to career opportunities. The best roles in Banking and Consulting offered to Indian candidates are offered to IIM Calcutta graduates among a couple of other schools. However, Sales & Marketing was the sector where highest number of graduates will begin their career.
No salary figures have been provided as the placement committee feels it is not possible to compute it. Reason : "Salary Statistics like avg/highest cannot be computed because of the following reason. The offer-letters are directly sent to students and they contain the compensation break-up (most of the times this info is confidential). So the placement team is not in a position to compute these stats."
