Tough times reveal a lot. IIM Bangalore's report on the career opportunities provided to its graduates shows us why certain brands are worth their weight in gold. IIM B is one such brand. Across sectors and domains, graduates have been provided ample opportunities. One of them is an opportunity to work in the Office of Mukesh Ambani as an executive assistant, chairman of India's most celebrated enterprise (Reliance Industries Ltd.- Strategic Services Unit). HCL Technologies participated with a unique initiative - Entrepreneur@Residence, under which candidates selected will work directly under Mr Shiv Nadar, Founder & Chairman, HCL. Premier private equity firm, the Blackstone Group (London) and consulting firms Greenwich and Roland Berger, hired exclusively from IIM Bangalore offering international locations. Despite the global slowdown, 21 students will start their careers abroad from the Class of 2013 at IIM Bangalore. Almost every company ranked in the top 5 in our Recruiter Rankings has visited IIM Bangalore (Morgan Stanley being the only exception). Any student graduating from IIM Bangalore who feels hard done by can only be termed 'ungrateful'. In any case, we at InsideIIM believe that no business school is obligated to provide jobs to its graduates.
The administration and students involved with placements at IIM Indore deserve a pat on the back for conducting a successful placement season in an extremely tough year. For a campus that is just 15 years old, IIM Indore is fast maturing as one of India's premier campuses for many top recruiters. 14 students were still to be placed when this report was published but considering the employment scenario and the struggle of many older and more accomplished schools (a few top schools still need to place many more students), managing to find career opportunities for over 400 students is an achievement.
FMS Delhi completed a very successful final placement season. The performance can be termed very impressive given the economic scenario. It is also very balanced across sectors and domains. Banking & Finance has been a tough sector to get into but FMS has ensured plenty of Corporate Banking opportunities for its students in leading MNC banks. Sales & Marketing (especially FMCG) is very strong as usual. Over 1/3rd of students will work in the marketing function. The Boston Consulting Group added FMS to its list of campuses (Others are ISB, A,B,C,L,I and XLRI). ITC Ltd. recruited 11 graduates from FMS (i.e. 5% of the batch).
In Nov 2011, Class of 2013 at IIM Kozhikode was the first batch at any business school for which the InsideIIM Placement report was published. Read the Summer's Report for this batch here. Read Final Placements Report for 2012 here.
First in our series of reports for this year. XLRI was one of the first schools to report completion of placements this year. XLRI registered 100% placement in this tough year. 63 PPOs would have helped. Over 25% of the batch was placed before the placements started and that would have made life considerably easy for the placement committee.

As stated earlier, we will not express any team opinion on any placement report published on InsideIIM.com and we will write one post which encapsulates the entire season after all placement reports are published.
