IIM Kozhikode Goes International

"We look forward to building a strong relationship with IIMK. We have enjoyed interacting with students from IIMK." - Capital One

The highlight of Placements 2005 was the debut of foreign recruiter Capital One, putting IIMK firmly on the international recruiter map. The US financial services giant made an offer to Gaurav Agarwal, who will be joining the firm in the USA, as a Senior Business Analyst in October.

The highest Indian salary came from the consulting sector - from Deloitte Consulting.

The average Indian salary was a 15% increase over last year, and with 194 job offers for 120 students, the students had an excellent choice of top jobs across sectors, with a number of companies having to go empty-handed, as there were no available students.
