IIM-A places all students in four days

Update [27.11.2009]: I spoke to professors of IIM-B today, who are visiting ESADE this week. They confirmed that all the numbers and facts refer to MBA students and full-time positions. This was not sure previously but now it is! Apparently the figures are also the same for IIM-B, hence congratulations to both IIM’s.

I would like to share this article from the India Times with you because it is impressive (thank you for the information, Romit). We have just completed our Career Week 2009 at ESADE ourselves as have most other Business Schools around the world. With the flat world we are living in ESADE is competing with the universities around the world.

One of those universities is the Indian Institute of Management – Ahmedabad (IIM-A). Have a look at those facts because they are impressive:

  • Placed all 321 students in four days
  • Investment banks made 77 offers on Day Zero (first day)
  • 76 students received offers oversears (eg. US, France, Germany, the UK, the Middle-East, Africa and Southeast Asia)
  • McKinsey & Co, Boston Consulting Group and Bain & Co placed 3-5 students each
  • We are experiencing a Financial Crisis!!!!

I think that those figures are quite stunning and have set the bar high for other universities. This also exemplifies the quality of the Indian universities and students. The statistics for ESADE are not available to me but I would love to them know them.
