 Consulting firms continued their dominance in the campus with over 20% of the total offers.

Such results are obtained due to a variety of factors such as the quality of our admission as well as education, relentless efforts put in by the placement team, the societal and market acceptance of IIM Calcutta and the support of our alumni. But as I have said earlier, the expectations from stakeholders continue to increase, and we’ll strive even harder in coming years to meet these expectations.”
