IIT Kanpur

In the recently concluded placement week of IIT Kanpur MBA programme, the response from the industry to recruit the MBA graduates has been overwhelming. The entire batch of 46 students was placed within few hours on the first day of the placement week. Many companies did not even get an opportunity to interview students as none was left to be placed.

IT, Banking and consulting were the flavour of the day. Big names in IT and ITES sector such as Accenture, IBM, Infosys, and GENPACT recruited almost 50% of the batch. Banking sector was represented by Citibank and ICICI Bank. As much as 35% of the batch was offered the profile of “Business Analyst”. The other companies that made offers included Bristlecone, Vedanta Resources, HCL Tech, e-Serve International and Market Rx.

The highest salary offered was Rs.8.00 lacs p.a while average salary stood at Rs.6.00 lacs p.a.

In the words of faculty placement coordinator, Prof Peeyush Mehta,
"We are very happy that the IIT Kanpur MBA programme has received good recognition from the industry within only a few years of starting of the programme. The Class of 2006 is the fourth batch and all the ingredients of the campus placements which are job profiles, salary structure, and recruiters’ profile are improving every year."
