Final Placements 2005 at IIM Kozhikode Class of 2005 - A Diverse, World-class Group of Achievers For the 120 individuals of the Class of 2005, who gained entry to the hallowed portals of IIM Kozhikode, after a grueling admissions process involving over 100,000 applicants to the IIMs, their eclectic and distinguished peer group at IIMK has contributed immensely to their learning, both within the classroom and outside. With an average of 13 months of prior work experience, the Class of 2005 comes from diverse academic, professional and cultural backgrounds including engineers, commerce and economics graduates, chartered accountants, a former Navy submarine commander, a fashion designer and an architect. Following the trend, there are a number of software engineers and also people with prior work experience in a spectrum of organizations ranging from AT Kearney and PwC to Deloitte (Dubai) and the World Bank. A number of students also have significant international exposure through prior work experience abroad, summer internships abroad (Singapore) or through IIMK's foreign exchange program (France & Germany), which commenced last year. In a glowing testament to their caliber and superlative performance during their summer internships, around 20% of the batch received Pre-Placement-Offers (PPOs) / Pre-Placement-Interview (PPI) offers from leading recruiters. 16 students garnered PPOs from top firms including Asian Paints, GE Money, Gecis, Godrej, Wipro Technologies, SBI, Patni, L&T, etc., while 8 students received PPI offers from ITC, Britannia and Wipro Consumer Care. Best Project Awards at Wipro, Patni and SBI were won by summer interns from IIMK. The strong recruiter perception and confidence in IIMK's broad-based curriculum has led to recruiters offering a wide range of roles to students with different specializations - a significant instance of this was that of five students majoring in human resources at IIMK, receiving HR roles from top firms including IBM, HP, Titan and ICICI OneSource.
