IIM-L to call 100 firms for 45 students

For the first batch of the International Programme in Management for Executives (IPMX) — the one-year residential executive programme at Indian Institute of Management-Lucknow (IIM-L)—final placements in April 2009 will happen against the backdrop of the global slowdown. To counter this, the institute will call nearly 100 companies for its batch of 45 students to its Noida campus.

The institute is expecting companies in the infrastructure and manufacturing sector to take the lead in making offers.

“Unlike the two-year post graduate programmes, there is no placement week in this programme. Recruiters to our programme prefer to have a couple of meetings with the student before making an offer. Finance offers could be affected due to the economic slowdown, but we are seeing a lot of interest from infrastructure, manufacturing and IT companies to hire students for higher managerial level positions,” said Punam Sahgal, Chairperson IPMX at IIM-Lucknow’s Noida Campus.
