Final Placements at IIM Calcutta See Influx of Firms from Middle-East

Previous

Optiver is a trading brokerage firm that usually limited its recruitment drive to Ivy League Management Schools before this, and since it lays a lot of emphasis on quantitative skills, IIM Calcutta is a natural choice. The curriculum at the institute is very well-suited to produce potential stars for finance firms, and that is why they are lapped up the moment they pass out.

An Ivy League Institute in India

With multiple investment banks offering Associate positions to 4 students and consulting firms offering positions usually offered only to Ivy League Schools, IIM Calcutta alumni have earned the institute the deserved right to be ranked amongst the top B-schools across the globe.

Emerging Markets - Emerging Industries

In addition to Investment banks, firms from retail and supply chain management also offered foreign locations. Another trend of note was the influx of firms from the middle-east. The increase in offers from Singapore, Hong Kong and other South East Asian and East Asian markets is a testament to the trust in IIM Calcutta's talent to lead the growth in these sunrise industries and high growth markets.
