LUCKNOW: Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (IIML) has claimed to have made a cent per cent placement this year, with over 100 companies offering jobs to its graduates despite the global recession.

Chairman of IIML's placement cell, Sushil Kumar said, "Hundred and five companies had made a total of 284 offers making it the largest placement process this year across premier business schools, in terms of number of candidates successfully placed."

He said 40 per cent were placed in finance, 31 in marketing, 16 in consultation jobs and five in Human Resources. Four per cent opted for general management, while two per cent each were placed in operations and systems.

"As many as 267 students were to be placed this year. Of these, 25 had accepted Pre-Placement Offers, while seven chose to start on their own," Kumar told reporters.

Forty eight students got recruited through Higher Entry Placement Process (HEPP), which is given to those with a minimum of one year work experience.

Fourteen PSUs, including NTPC, SAIL, GAIL and Coal India, apart from 15 overseas companies came for the placements, Kumar said.
