100% placement at IIM Amritsar, with the highest CTC of 21 LPA
Amritsar: The Indian Institute of Management Amritsar announced 100% placement for its third batch of PGP 2017-19. The institute has witnessed a significant growth in terms of key metrics vis-a-vis last year. This year, the companies based within India have shown substantial interest thus enabling the students to garner far more opportunities within the country. The highest domestic annual package has shot up from 17 LPA to 21 LPA this year. The domestic average of the batch has also increased significantly from 11.02 LPA to 12.2 LPA, with YoY growth of 10.7% because of the availability of quality opportunities in India. The median for the present batch also saw a considerable upward increase from 10.5 LPA to 12 LPA this year.
The institute hosted more than 52 recruiters including many first-time participants. The prominent recruiters this year included Accenture, Anand Rathi, Apollo Munich, CRISIL, Deloitte, GroupM, HDFC Bank, ICICI Lombard, KPMG, Motilal Oswal, Tata Teleservices, Thomas Cook, Trident and many more.
In terms of the participation of the industry, the following industry sectors primarily recruited this year: BFSI, IT/OTES, Consulting, Telecommunications, Consumer Goods, Advertising Media and others.
Prof. Debashis Chatterjee, the mentor Director and Director of IIM Kozhikode said, ‘It gives me immense satisfaction and happiness that the students of IIM Amritsar under the mentorship of IIM Kozhikode performed very well in their education and achieved well deserved placements proving once again that IIM Amritsar stands differently among the newer generation IIMs. I congratulate the graduating students and wish them best with their career”.
Prof. Arun Kaushik, Chairperson, Placement, IIM Amritsar said, “Like previous year, we had a large batch size of close to 100 once again this year, which resulted in addition of new quality recruiters to our existing placement contacts. We have consistently achieved 100% placements because of the trust we have gained and maintained over the last three years in terms of providing quality talent pool to our recruiters.”
Under the mentorship of IIM Kozhikode, a leading B-school of India, IIM Amritsar has emerged as the largest, in terms of batch size, among the third generation IIMs. This has paid off for the institute in several ways: the large batch size has provided opportunity of having diversity and inclusive learning atmosphere in the classroom, has attracted quality recruiters and has also increased the alumni presence in the industry at a fast pace.
For its sustained growth, IIM Amritsar thanks all its stakeholders including recruiters who have reposed their faith in the Institute and have helped the institute achieve growth year on year. A detailed report of the placements will be made available, later, on the Institute website.
