Overall

Mr. Santosh Singh, Student Placement Coordinator emphasized that 2006 kept up the reputation that IIFM has built up for itself, both internationally and in India. Traditionally, the big B-schools like IIMs and IITs get lot of media attention regarding its placement, whereas a sectoral management institute like IIFM, an institution of its own kind in the world, is silently doing its duty towards natural resources, development sector and others for the upliftment of the society, gets hardly any place in the media regarding its placement. The key differentiating factors for the future are: -

Sharpening focus on present requirements - through syllabus revision, campus activities.

Enhancing interaction with the development as well as corporate world - through guest lectures of foreign and national experts and other academic event.

Leveraging the IIFM alumni network - in bringing new companies to campus, and in solidifying relationships with existing recruiters.
