Pioneering changes in the system of recruitment

Apart from introducing the system of Lateral Placements in 2000, to allow both firms and students greater choice in recruitment, IIM Calcutta has incorporated other changes in the system of recruitment, taking into account feedback from companies and students. This year, companies were given more time to carry out their recruitment processes, which were in turn staggered to allow for a smoother process. IIM Calcutta also hosted a Student Recruiter Meet in October 2003, along the lines of Career Fairs held in major business schools abroad, the first such initiative of this kind taken by a business school in India.
