The placement process is perhaps the most important aspect of anyone's b-school journey, and a lot is riding on this process: what kind of job you get, how much you get paid, which company you work with, which sector you work in, etc. In 2020, when the pandemic hit, placements at IIMs and other institutes were adversely affected, with many job offers being revoked, internships being cancelled, and joining dates being deferred indefinitely. While everyone was hopeful that the crisis would conclude by the next placement season in 2021, the second wave of the pandemic hit the country, exacerbating the crisis. So, how were summer and final placements at the IIMs this year? What was the overall recruiter sentiment? Were job offers revoked? Was there a drop in salaries offered or the intake of new joinees? What should the batch of 2022 and the incoming batch of 2023 expect? To find out answers to these crucial questions, we bring to you a live webinar with IIM Calcutta, IIM Kozhikode, IIM Indore, IIM Lucknow, and IIM Ranchi students/graduates who reveal the true placement scenario at b-school in a pandemic year.

Now that placements at most leading business schools have concluded, data from the placement reports has revealed exactly how much the pandemic has affected recruitment. Institutes that, in 2020, showed double-digit growth in salaries offered showed only marginal increases in 2021. Many leading management institutes like IIM Kozhikode and SPJIMR have even seen a decline in the average salaries offered to the batch. IIM Bangalore saw a decrease of seven percent in the number of offers, while FMS saw only a marginal reduction in the number of offers extended. Now, the second generation "new" IIMs have also published their placement reports to reveal what impact the ongoing pandemic has had on MBA placements.
