Final Placements : IIM Calcutta – Class of 2012

There was never any doubt about the fact that IIM Calcutta was one of the best campuses for Placements in India (if not the best!). But this performance in a difficult year is truly noteworthy and speaks volumes of IIM Calcutta's reputation and the strength of it's alumni base. You would have read the report of IIM Bangalore earlier on this website. And we have to reiterate, its IIM ABC and the rest.  Please find the Placement Report below:

Interview with Rishiraj Singh Pruthi – Head, Customer Marketing at Abbott Nutrition.

A career in FMCG marketing remains one of the dream destinations for MBA grads and aspirants alike. However, a successful career requires much more than a good campus placement from a top B school. In our bid to give readers a complete perspective on how to build a career in FMCG marketing, we are proud to do an interview with Rishiraj Singh Pruthi – Head of Customer Marketing at Abbott Nutrition.

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. Top Consulting companies like BCG and McKinsey are not only regulars at IIM Lucknow but also they hire in good numbers now. Finance has taken a hit but then that is the case across campuses and hence should not surprise anyone. Other more stable domains like Sales & Marketing, IT etc. have maintained a strong presence as always and should have given a wide variety of choices to graduates of the Class of 2012.  A slightly bigger batch size in a difficult environment would have made it an extremely competitive year especially for the coveted jobs.

Jargon of the Day - 'Low Hanging Fruit'

Do the terms ‘touch base with’, ‘synergize’, ‘core competency’, ‘ideate’ etc. make you squirm with agony? Ever felt your blood boil while waiting through a long managerial sermon utterly devoid of meaning? Do not despair. I am proud to introduce a randomly updated column driven by (err..) a strategic imperative to take a deep dive into the most obnoxiously abused management jargon, and resurface with actionable insights that’ll help you achieve better outcomes with clients and co-workers.
