IIM-Ahmedabad said on Thursday that domestic and international corporate groups had made offers for the summer placement of the 2019 batch of Post Graduate Programme (PGP) in Management. Over 120 students had applied.
Accenture Strategy was the top recruiter for the Summer 2017 process, with 19 offers.
Firms were grouped into cohorts based on the profile offered, and groups of cohorts were invited to the campus across different clusters.
As in the previous years, students were allowed to submit “dream” applications to firms of their choice in a subsequent cluster even with an offer in hand, an IIM-A media statement said.
Seven students opted out of the placement process to work on their own ventures, under the guidance and mentorship of IIM-A’s Centre for Innovation, Incubation and Entrepreneurship (CIIE).
