IIM Calcutta: Intellectual Haven

IIM-C had the unique distinction of placing students across every profile in Investment Banking: pricing, structuring, trading, sales, strategy and advisory. True to Calcutta's legendary intellectualism, IIM Calcutta's students have become the first to be offered quantitative roles in NY and London by bulge bracket banks that have traditionally gone to American doctorates in Mathematics.
A case in point is Abhinav Vikram (IIT JEE Rank 31, 100 percentile in CAT), who holds the unique distinction of being awarded the prestigious AV Birla Scholarship twice and has been hired for pricing exotics in London. Another IIM Calcutta student became the first ever hire from any IIM for a proprietary trading position for a bulge bracket investment bank in NY. IIM-C's pre-eminence in finance was also re-affirmed by the carte blanche given by investment banks to many "hot" candidates to choose any international location and profile. Also, Bloomberg, which powers international banking platforms, has hired massively for positions in NY.

IIM Calcutta: Focused and Go-getter

High-end consulting retained its stronghold on campus. Some of the brightest students like Abhimanyu Ganesh and Arpit Badjatya turned down their international investment banking PPO's to take up management consulting jobs in India. Top-tier consulting firms like McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, AT Kearney. etc., hired 17 students.

IIM Calcutta: Serving the Old Order and the New

While the services sector hogged most of the limelight, the old economy also made a big splash at laterals hiring at IIM Calcutta. The global steel giant LN Mittal (more offers than the other two top IIMs combined) and Johnson Electric picked up students for international placements in various roles ranging from general management to supply chain and project management. Johnson Electric's exclusive recruitment for four international positions at IIM Calcutta bears testimony to IIM Calcutta's continued dominance in operations and supply chain management.
