Season #5 continues with IIM Indore Summer Placements this week. Like for XLRI, we have good data across summers and finals for the last 4 years now for IIM Indore. Except for salary figures (which we cannot vouch for any school) the companies, roles and offer numbers are fairly accurate across the years for all our IIM Indore reports. You can read the Final Placement report for the Class of 2015
here and the Summer Placement Report for the Class of 2016
here. Again placing by far the biggest batch across IIMs - 562 (450 of PGP + the IPM programme students), IIM Indore has done admirably over the last few years in managing rapid expansion and yet being able to improve the profile of companies that visit the campus. The other thing that they have done well in is ensuring certain companies recruit year after year and in big numbers - it is the only way you can grow batch sizes and still be able to provide job opportunities.
One other peculiarity about IIM Indore is that almost always Final Placements are better than Summer Placements. You can look at 4 year data on this portal and you will conclude the same. One sector FMCG - which was never traditionally a strong sector for IIM Indore has been doing very well over the last couple of years - mainly because of the focus on the younger batch that IIM Indore has started admitting - focus on work experience has gone down.
BCG has been recruiting for 5 years now at IIM Indore - This is the second year in succession that they have recruited for Summer Placements. Deutsche Bank has been making a significantly high number of offers for the last 2 years at IIM Indore. Google, Microsoft, HUL, L'Oreal, Goldman Sachs, Aditya Birla Group, eBay, Snapdeal, ITC, HSBC are other marquee recruiters.
