We are happy to share the 2nd placement report in our series (after XLRI Jamshedpur) and the first among the IIMs – IIM Bangalore for the Class of 2012.
And the verdict is that it will be tough to match the opportunities available at an institution like IIM Bangalore not only in India but in the continent. It is unlikely any other institutes apart IIM Ahmedabad or IIM Calcutta will be able to do so. While this is not something unusual, you shall see that (if we are able to get information from placement cells of all institutions) that the gulf between IIM ABC and other top schools in India is still very wide.
IIM Bangalore’s placement report :
Points to Note:
- The list of companies mentioned below is indicative and not exhaustive. Names of some big firms/first time recruiters have been purposely withheld owing to NDA with such recruiters.
- Only those companies which rolled out offers have been mentioned here. Participating companies which did not make any offers have been excluded
- The list of companies below includes those who have give out Pre-Placement Offers and some of them may not have visited the campus for Finals
