Updated on: Tuesday, February 14, 2012

The final placement process on Monday got underway at the premier B-school Indian Institute of Managament-Ahmedabad (IIM-A) with global strategy consulting firms and i-Banks recruiting candidates on day one.

The global firms have offered roles to the candidates in their India offices as well as in international locations such as London and New York, an official statement said.

Around 410 students are seeking placement from IIM-A this year, including 372 from its flagship Post Graduate Programme (PGP) in Management, in the first cluster.

The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) made the maximum number of offers this year. The consulting firms have been a major recruiter at IIM-A over the years.

"BCG recruited 17 PGP students from IIM-Ahmedabad this year. It continues to be one of our core campuses for recruitment," Partner and Director BCG Ravi Srivastava said.

The recruiters on day one included BCG, McKinsey & Co, Bain & Co, AT Kearney, Credit Suisse, HSBC, Oliver Wyman and Accenture.

The duration of the final placement process has been cut short this year by IIM-A, with shorter gaps within two cohorts.

The placements for second cluster will be held on 17th February.

IIM-A has adopted Indian Placement Reporting Standards (IPRS) and it will be releasing a detailed report on the placements for 2010-12 batch three months after the convocation.
