Commenting on the process, S Anjani Kumar, Partner and India Lead for Monitor Deloitte,said "We have been recruiting students from IIMA over the last several years for both summer internship as well as final placement and always look forward to participate in the process given the quality of students, enriched by the diversity they bring in terms of educational background, experience and approach to problem solving."
Asha Kaul, Chairperson of the Placement Committee said, "And yet, once again the students at IIMA proved their mettle in the Summer Placements held during 6-12th November. As is the case every year we got an opportunity to connect with old recruiters and form alliances with new recruiters. This healthy mix of old and new recruiters provided space to our students to dream, for the first time, on six companies and finally select the one that matched their aptitude, skill set and competency. We are sure that they will do us proud."
Sandeep Murisetty, Recruitment Secretary at IIM A said, "The cornerstone of the cluster-cohort process has always been the student-career fit. In the build up to Placement season, students got an understanding of the various sectors through career talks by senior alumni in Finance, General Management, Operations, Product Management, Consulting etc. Compounding our endeavour, we increased the number of dream applications for students which helped them pursue their career aspirations in diverse sectors. In a nutshell, active hiring in traditional cohorts like Management Consulting, Private Equity, Asset Management and General Management, apart from more diversified opportunities in cluster 3, has been the highlight of the Placement season."
