Previous

Companies that made the highest number of offers on campus were PwC (19), Citibank (17), Cognizant Technology Solutions (17), ICICI Bank (17), HCL Technologies (12), Onida (11), UTI Bank (9), Procter & Gamble (9), McKinsey and Company (7), Kotak (6), AT Kearney (5), Hindustan Lever (5), Cadbury (5), HSBC Investment Banking (4) and JP Morgan Chase (4).

Lateral Placements and PPOs

The Lateral Placement Programme has evolved over the last few years and is now an integral part of the placement process. A salient feature of Placements 2004 is the number of lateral offers made (58), a 10% increase over last year. More than 20 companies spanning diverse sectors such as Consulting, IT, Pharmaceuticals, Financial Services, FMCG and Manufacturing recruited lateral candidates from IIM Calcutta. With companies like Unilever, ITC, Microsoft, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, Kanbay, Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, Crisil, Evalueserve and Sify participating in the programme, lateral placements this year have been exceptional, both in terms of the number of offers made and the compensation offered. It is worth noting that this was achieved with a far smaller number of lateral candidates this year. With the number of lateral candidates for next year almost twice that of the outgoing batch, it can only augur well for Placements 2005.

In terms of Pre-Placement Offers, a total of 22 offers were made by big names in the corporate world like Lehman Brothers, HSBC Investment Banking, ABN Amro Investment Banking, Citibank, Standard Chartered Bank, Procter & Gamble and Cadbury. ABN Amro (London) made its only PPO across Indian business schools at IIM Calcutta.
