The first cluster of the Final Placement process for the PGP class of 2016 was held today at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. The firms that participated in Cluster 1 comprised of three cohorts – investment banking and markets; management consulting and private equity, venture capital and hedge funds.
The list of Cluster 1 recruiters included regular partners such as Accenture Strategy, A. T. Kearney, Bain & Co., Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Oliver Wyman, The Boston Consulting Group and others.
IIM-A has always had an extremely rich mix of firms from diverse sectors. Consulting firms, offering management consulting roles across geographies, continued to hire in large numbers. This reinforces the strength of the general management program at IIM-A. Accenture Strategy made the highest number of offers – 18 (including pre-placement offers) in Cluster 1. Finance firms offered roles in investment banking, private equity, venture capital and capital markets across functions and geographies.
The second cluster will be held on 16th February 2015.
