Placements process

The placement process happens in two hiring cycles:

Internship placement process
Final placement process

The corporate autumn/summer internship is a mandatory credit component of the Post Graduate Diploma in Management course. The current Class 2023-25 participants will see the last Autumns Internship. Starting from the Class of 2024-26, PGDM students will participate in summer internships (please refer to the placement timeline table).

Pre-placement Offer (PPO): 40-50% of the batch gets placed through internships and corporate competitions (PPOs), much ahead of the final placement process. Students with PPO are excluded from the next hiring cycle.

Pre-placement talks start 45 days before the placement week in November.

Placement week/interviews are tentatively scheduled for mid-December.
