IIM Indore completed placements for what is possibly the biggest ever PGP batch to graduate out of an IIM. The number of 475 includes 30 odd students from the PGP batch at Mumbai as well. (This would come as a surprise to many and one wonders if the students from the flagship PGP at Indore campus protested against it.)
We are happy to note that SP Jain has provided placement data to us in the InsideIIM format. SP Jain has been publishing its final placement report, audited by CRISIL, in the IPRS format since 2011 (read the 2011 report here and the 2012 report here ). We were unable to find the 2013 report in the IPRS format. At InsideIIM, our view on the IPRS format is that although it provides an amazing level of detail about salaries, it suffers from a drawback because it does not incorporate profile information (i.e. the job profile for which the candidate was hired). We appreciate the forthrightness of SP Jain for reporting its placements in the IPRS format, but we also believe that the quality of job profiles is the most critical input while evaluating the placements at a B school. The InsideIIM placement report provides data on job profiles, and we are delighted to have this data from SP Jain from this year onwards. We hope this is the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship.

TISS Mumbai is well known for running one of the best HR programmes in the country (the Human Resources Management and Labour Relations programme). We had begun featuring their placement reports last year, starting with summer placements for the batch of 2015. You can read that report here. We noted that the sixty student batch had a pretty wide choice of recruiters across industries.
This is the first in our series of placement reports for 2014. XLRI has had enjoyed another great year in final placements. Last year's performance has been exceeded on almost all parameters, be it number of PPOs, breadth and diversity of profiles, number of companies making offers, and the list of marquee recruiters.

We are very happy to share that we have finally convinced JBIMS Mumbai to officially share a verified placement report in our standard format!
IIM Indore concluded a very successful summer placement season in Mid-November. This is the fourth summer internship season since the batch size doubling took place to 450. This batch has over 130 women. The main highlights for us have been the higher number of offers made by marquee recruiters, the surge in the FMCG sector hiring combined with more offers in the Sales & Marketing domain and the special focus on e-Commerce, Media and Advertising jobs.
