IIM Kozhikode Witnesses Landmark Placements Abhilash Nair, who bagged the highest domestic salary on campus this year, said, "The quality of courses with emphasis on live projects helped me understand the finer points of management. The credit for my success goes to my batch mates and the culture of leadership through teamwork that IIMK breeds. It has catapulted my career to new heights". The entrepreneurial streak characteristic to IIMK's students was evident again as Yash Sehgal, a student, decided not to take up a lucrative offer from a leading FMCG company and instead opted to strike it out on his own by starting a laser-based measurement device manufacturing company. "I had always wanted to start a business and accept the challenges of entrepreneurship. Though an experience in the FMCG sector would have been rewarding, I decided to follow my dreams", said Yash. The buoyant placements season that IIM Kozhikode has enjoyed is only an indication of things to come, as some premier recruiters like Johnson & Johnson, Edelweiss Capital and L'Oreal initiated their relationship with IIM Kozhikode as part of the summer placements and are now looking at a long term relationship with the institute. Recruiter feedback across the board was excellent with glowing tributes to the student quality at IIMK, the efficiently-managed placement process; as well as firm commitments to building long-term relationships with IIMK. "The significant growth in the number of offers per student reflects the corporate world's demand for IIMK graduates, while the stability in the past recruiters coming back to the campus and the growth of new recruiters indicates that the high offer rate at IIMK is sustainable." - Dr. S. S. S. Kumar, Placement Chairperson, IIM Kozhikode. "IIM Kozhikode has evolved very well. Lehman Brothers shall visit this campus for years to come." - Mr. Sanjeev Kaushik, Director-Equity Research, Lehman Brothers. "IIM Kozhikode is getting better year by year. We look forward to recruiting from here again next year." - Mr. Raghaviah, GM-HR, ITC Limited.
