IIM Calcutta Kicks Off the Biggest Lateral Placement Process Across IIMs

IIM Calcutta kicked off the biggest lateral placement process in the country last week with a slew of companies coming to campus to recruit students. The largest batch of students across IIMs has seen a great start to the recruitment season with around 50 offers
being made in the first week itself, as against a total of approximately 100 offers in the entire laterals season last year.

IIM Calcutta, which has close to 300 students, has 180 students participating in the lateral process, and is one of the most preferred campuses to recruit from with a lot of major names across the domains of finance, banking, general management, marketing and IT starting their recruitment from here.

The first week alone saw the participation of some of the biggest names in the world including the likes of consulting powerhouses like PwC and international steel major Arcelor-Mittal.

The lateral recruitment program offers profiles not just in middle-management roles but also in the top management. Senior management roles were offered in the corporate finance and capital markets division of a leading private sector bank. Strategy roles in the booming real estate industry has been a major draw this year with the Lodha Group having made multiple offers and DLF, Unitech and MARG expected to participate. While IT majors like Microsoft and HCL have already visited the campus, many more have confirmed participation making the general outlook very encouraging. Consulting major CapGemini, the Hinduja Group and Al-Ghanim have also offered multiple consulting and general management profiles, including international offers.

The general sentiment on campus is bullish, a feeling shared by the companies too. There is a significant rise expected in this year's placement figures over the last year, according to Murari Perumalsamy, one of the recruitment co-ordinators at IIM Calcutta. "To put the entire exercise in perspective, the number of students participating in the laterals process at IIM Calcutta is comparable to the entire batch strength of other B-schools. This gives the recruiters a huge and diverse pool of talent to choose from" says Georgie Mathews, another recruitment co-ordinator.
