Final Placements : IIM Lucknow - Class of 2012

Final Placements : IIM Lucknow - Class of 2012

IIM Lucknow completed its Final Placements for the Class of 2012 and it seems it won't be too long before it enters the big league (read: IIM ABC) as long as Recruitment in India is concerned.

Clearing the next ‘hurdle’ is quite the flavour of the season. As one logs on to the internet space, it is replete with buzz of the latest GD sessions, Mock PIs, HR interviews, case discussions, seminars etc. conducted at various coaching centres by special ‘IIM’ people in town much to the joy of the eager shortlisted aspirants. And you know it is exactly that time of the season as an aspirant when …
