IIM Bangalore lived up to its reputation of finishing its final placements in record time. This year, IIMB again created history when its entire batch of 233 second year MBA students got placed within 5 days of placements. This year, close to 90 companies visited the campus during the Final Recruitments week.
Overseas Offers
Job offers at foreign locations were given by companies across profiles, something unmatched across IIMs and certainly an indicator of IIM Bangalore’s growing clout. The campus was swarmed by new overseas recruiters like Arthur D. Little, Al Ghanim Industries, CiC International and Development Bank of Singapore, in addition to recruiters like GM Shanghai, McKinsey, British Petroleum, American Express, Citigroup, Procter & Gamble and the Arcelor-Mittal Group.
The overseas locations where the students would be moving to are New York, London, Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Sydney, Dubai, the West Indies, Kuwait.
Investment Banking & Consulting
Wall Street biggies like Lehman Brothers, Barclays Capital, Deutsche Bank and Merrill Lynch made a beeline to Bangalore, picking up students for their advisory, fixed income & equity research, credit derivatives structuring and interest rate & forex trading desks. With several investment banks choosing to make a large number of offers at IIMB, the institute has clearly emerged as the preferred talent source for investment banks across the globe.
The campus became a consulting aspirant’s paradise with top names like McKinsey, BCG, AT Kearney, Bain & Co., Arthur D. Little, Ernst & Young, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Accenture and Diamond Consulting adorning the recruiters’ list.
Significant Statistics
McKinsey & Co., The Boston Consulting Group, Bloomberg, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Procter & Gamble, Cognizant, Microsoft, IBM, GE, ICICI Bank, Citigroup, Standard Chartered, Unilever and Tata Administrative Services emerged as the top recruiters during the 2006-07 recruiting season.
Preferred B-school
About 40% of the batch received offers from leading Slot Zero Investment Banking, Consulting and Private Equity firms. First time recruiters in the IIMB campus included firms like Fidelity, Gartner, Arthur D. Little, CiC International and Al Ghanim Industries.
A unique MBA curriculum (the only one across IIMs that is thoroughly revised every 3 years and tweaked for every batch), the best student exchange program (only IIM to have partnerships with the likes of New York University, Chicago GSB, Duke, INSEAD, Maryland) and a definite focus on overall development - not just academic, all make IIM Bangalore the institute of choice, both for students & recruiters.
