Final Placements – IIFT Delhi and Kolkata – Class of 2016

Final Placements – IIFT Delhi and Kolkata – Class of 2016

We generally never focus on Average CTC offered on campuses. However, IIFT this year reports a 24% increase taking the average CTC to 18 lacs. It is a notably high number. There is no way for us to verify this figure as no external agency has audited the report like at IIM Ahmedabad - auditing is an issue at all other top schools too - IIM C, IIM B, IIM L, IIM I, IIM K, XLRI, FMS etc. (Last year IIFT reported an average domestic salary of 14.54 Lacs). It seems the figure of 18.01 Lacs is an average after taking into consideration both Domestic and International salaries. It is notable that average salary has gone up despite an increase in the batch size. Total number of companies making offers has remained almost the same which means offers per company has gone up as well.

Dream Companies – Final Part – InsideIIM Recruitment Survey 2015

Dream Companies – Final Part – InsideIIM Recruitment Survey 2015

We close this year’s slew of survey reports with one of its most awaited sections: the list of “dream companies” which all of us aspire to (or have aspired to) work for at some point in our careers. Given the natural order of minimizing entropy, MBA students tend to focus on specific domains while making critical career choices. However, there are a few companies that transcend the barriers of domains/sectors and are representative of the ultimate pinnacle of achievement, with which most of the individuals in this trade attach a lot of importance. In this regard, one must truly acknowledge the achievements of the firms that enjoy such an exalted status as they have not only succeeded in catching the B-school ‘pulse’ but also have repeated doing so year after year. The time-tested stories regarding how students have burnt a lot of midnight oil to prepare that “perfect CV” which can fetch them a short-list from one of their “dream companies” further corroborate the immense appeal enjoyed by these firms. In fact, given the basic tripartite segregation underlying our survey, the significant extent of overlap between the lists for the different respondent segments (witnessed in the past editions) does succeed in driving home the fact that breaking into the list is nigh impossible. So, has the overlap rolled into this edition of the survey as well? Let’s find out!

Pursuit Of Excellence - Insights From Pranil

Pursuit Of Excellence - Insights From Pranil

Excellence could be argued to be the toughest amongst all virtues to pursue, for the simple reason there is no ULTIMATE in excellence. The goal post keeps going further once you reach it much like the classic Vikram - Betaal story where king Vikram would be asked a question - right answer means the Betaal vanishes & wrong answer means death. Every correct answer unfortunately means catching the Betaal all over again.
