Final Placements at IIM Lucknow Conclude with a Resounding Note of Success

Previous

The stand-out achievement was the number of I-Banks that participated in the process this year, marking the rise of IIM Lucknow as a recruitment hub for the investment banks, brokerage houses and trading firms. Enam Securities, Kotak Securities, ICICI
Securities, Avendus Advisors, Edelweiss Capital, Angel Broking and O3 Capital were such firms that chose IIM Lucknow for their requirements.

As has been a trend in the past, placements in the field of sales and marketing attracted the best organizations in the world. Corporates such as HUL, P&G, Johnson & Johnson, Nestle, GlaxoSmithKline, Tata Group, ITC, Marico, Pepsi, Coke, Dabur and Cadbury recruited students in large numbers to spearhead their marketing initiatives.

This year also saw the third Agri Business Management batch passing out 100% again with flying colours. Various organizations participating in the ABM placement process were ITC, Reliance Industries, Cadbury, ICICI Prudential, ICICI Bank, Standard Chartered Bank and Reliance ADAG among others.

Prof. Pankaj Kumar, Chairman, Placements, attributes this to excellent pedagogy, competencies and values that students acquire at IIM Lucknow. With the economy on a high these students are bound to make the best out of it and lead the way towards a progressive nation.

With this year's placements, IIM Lucknow has yet again proved its standing as one of the top B-schools in the country and has proven to be a preferred destination for organizations, which hand-pick not more than 2-3 B-schools to recruit from. If the trend continues, IIM Lucknow students are bound to leave their foot-marks on the global landscape and make the nation proud.

Prof. Kumar reiterates the institute's decision of NOT disclosing salary figures and de-emphasizing it has paid off. It is being highly appreciated by the recruiters, students and society at large and eventually helped in matching the profiles among the students and recruiters which is the main focus of placements at IIML.

Batch after batch, a large number of students start their own ventures and, therefore, don't participate in the placement process. This year again, more than six students are embarking on endeavours in various sectors such as financial services, hospitality, etc. This re-emphasizes the institute's philosophy of creating more entrepreneurs and business leaders.
