PLACEMENTS in challenging economic environment
   
The Third batch of PGPX (2008-09) programme ended with high morale and achievements. The placement season started in January for 70 students who opted for placements. 4 students of the class decided to start their own venture in a variety of fields such as manufacturing, services and clean energy.

Despite an unprecedented and sudden economic downturn, recruiters from MNCs, SMEs and Start-up sectors showed great deal of interest in PGPX batch profiles including several first-time recruiters who have offered good positions. Students have taken up jobs and designations that align with their career choices while accepting roles they were offered. Students joined reputed firms with senior roles like GM, VP, AVP, CEO, COO, Head of IT etc. 5 students who are yet to be placed have niche skills and are looking for positions in specific sectors of their choice.

IIMA has always enjoyed special preference of recruiters on account of its sustained and excellent performance. It remains the 'Institute of Choice' for many international and Indian companies, who keep coming back year after year, scouting for exceptional management talent.
