Pre Placement Offers

AHMEDABAD | BANGALORE | KOLKATA: Pre-placement offers (PPOs) are off to a good start across the premier Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) though it’s early days yet to call it a downpour. At top IIMs, including Bangalore, Lucknow, Kozhikode and Indore, the numbers are as good or even better than last year, hinting at robust final placements, even though the overall economy is still in the grip of a slowdown.

IIM Bangalore is leading the pack, having already notched up 50 PPOs, more than half of last year’s total tally of 93. Numbers at IIM Indore are looking good as well with some 20 PPOs in, while IIM Kozhikode has 12 PPOs and 15 pre-placement interviews (PPIs) already, with a top offer of Rs 22 lakh from Deutsche Bank.
