Sector-wise Break-up

Companies from all the major sectors were on campus to participate in the placements process, with many companies visiting the campus twice to recruit from the IIMK talent pool, once each for the lateral and final processes.

Banking, Financial Services and Insurance: (20% of the batch)
Banking, Financial services and Insurance reinforced its status as a sector of choice at IIM Kozhikode with 20% of the batch opting for careers in this industry. New additions in this sector included Lehman Brothers, Standard Chartered Bank, Ocwen Financial Services, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, Keynote Investment Services, ICICI Lombard and SBI Life. Considering the past performance of the alumni and the strong relationship that IIMK shares with them, the regular recruiters did not think twice before revisiting the campus this year. This long list of regular recruiters includes Kotak, JP Morgan, Citigroup, iRevna, e-Serve, Max New York Life Insurance, SBI Caps and UTI Bank. The roles on offer were some of the most coveted in the industry. The students were placed in fields of private equity, investment banking, equity research, corporate finance, financial risk management, portfolio management, fund management, wealth management, private banking, insurance, treasury and retail banking. The highest offer in this sector was Rs.16.67 Lakhs and the average was Rs. 8.92 Lakhs. The highest number of offers in this sector was made by Citifinancial and ICICI Lombard (9 each).

Pricewaterhouse Coopers (recruiting for their prestigious GRID consulting division), Ernst & Young, Erix Financial Advisors, Headstrong, Jones Lang Lasalle (Roles in real estate consulting) and Atos-Origin were the biggest new names in the Consulting sector this year. They joined other big players like Deloitte, Bristlecone, IBM Business Consulting Services, Capgemini and Accenture to vie for the batch of 2006. Most of the offers in this sector were made during the lateral process as Consulting firms were seen preferring students with prior work experience. Deloitte Consulting, which offers the Assistant Manager role only in select few campuses across India, offered the same to 6 students at IIMK this year. IBM, recruiting only from select campuses for its Business Consulting division made 6 offers at IIMK. The highest offer in this sector was Rs. 11.5 Lakhs and the average was Rs. 9.26 Lakhs.
