The highlight for this year has been the diversity of recruiters and roles offered by them. Presence of heavy weight private as well as public players in the campus recruitment arena has been the focal point. 

For a batch of 20 students, 25 companies participated in the placement process. For a relatively young batch, the roles offered varied between business planning and strategy to marketing and finance. Regular recruiters like RPG, Godrej, Marico came hunting for junior- to mid-management level positions, along with public sector players like Union Bank, Bank of Baroda and IOCL. Start-ups like FINO and ABTL also offered higher corporate positions with greater responsibility. Micro-finance major FWWB too made its mark in the recruitment process. This has reinforced IIM-A PGP-ABM’s position as the best sector specific-program in the country.

The average compensation package offered to the students has been Rs. 8.50 Lakhs. This is also an indication of industry’s appreciation for the immense value-add that a student from IIMA-ABM brings forth to the company.
