IIMA Concludes its Summer Placement Process for PGP - ABM Programme on a High Note

The Summer Placements process for the 2009-11 batch of the Agri-Business Management (PGP-ABM) programme culminated on a high note on the fourth day. Summer placement is a process to recruit students for a two month internship, which would be undertaken in the months of April & May.

The functional requirements of our esteemed recruiters were satisfied due to the increased batch strength (an increase of more than 50 percent from 22 to 34 students) coupled with the diverse backgrounds of the students. The four day process saw 17 firms, vying for 34 students, with many more which could not participate as the process drew to a close ahead of expectations. This has reaffirmed recruiters’ faith in this niche sectoral program offered by IIM Ahmedabad.

A recruiter friendly policy adopted by the institute ensured a win-win scenario, facilitating the best match between a participant’s aspirations and the roles offered by the recruiters. This unique pairing ensured minimal job losses during the whole process. This also ensured that recruiters left the campus satisfied, with a candidate of their choice, thus strengthening the relationship.

Apart from regular recruiters like ITC, Britannia, Mahindra & Mahindra, Godrej Agrovet and TATA Rallis, the students were also offered internship roles by Rabo Bank, NCDEX, TetraPak and IFMR Trust among others.
