IIM Bodh Gaya Alumni Network

2 mins readUpdated on May 26, 2022 17:13 IST
Although IIM BG is currently considered to be a baby IIM, with the help of its alumni, the institution is making strides toward competing favourably in this challenging industry and is on track to outdo the performance of a number of the country’s most prestigious business schools in the years to come.

Alums of IIM Bodh Gaya are working majorly in BFSI and Consulting sectors.

IIM Bodh Gaya is one of the most prestigious business schools in India. It was founded in 2015 and has a sizeable alumni network. It has around six batches of MBA graduates each year, the majority of whom find employment in top companies both inside and outside of India. Despite the fact that IIM BG offers two more courses, namely IPM and PhD, the first class of students didn't start until 2021.

List of Notable Alumni 

Within a relatively short amount of time, IIM BG has established a strong alumni network that spans the corporate world. Some of the students have even started their own businesses. To name a few accomplished alumni, we have:

  • Ravi Barnwal -  Assistant Manager, KPMG
  • Yachi Aggarwal - Senior Analyst, BNY Mellon
  • Chirag Gupta - Assistant Manager, Hindalco

Average Salaries Offered 

Typical compensation offered during placements in IIM BG  is significantly higher than that offered by the majority of the country's top business schools. The starting salary for an employee with 0-1 years of experience, also known as a "fresher," is approximately INR 12.5 LPA. IIM BG alumni can expect to earn between INR 20 and 21 LPA after two to four years of experience, depending on their skills and the role they are seeking. However, the average salary for IIM BG graduates is approximately INR 20 LPA.

Top Sectors and Companies  

Alums of IIM BG can be found working in a variety of fields, but if we were to name the top sectors, we would say that approximately 33 per cent of the alums are employed in the BFSI sector and 20 per cent are working in the consulting sector. These two sectors account for more than 50 per cent of total alums. Other former students are serving in numerous other sectors like manufacturing and services.

Top Locations 

As mentioned earlier, the majority of the school's graduates are currently working in the BFSI sector, which is situated in the financial capital of the country i.e. Mumbai. However, the people who serve in the consulting sector are either located in Bengaluru or in Europe due to the fact that many consulting firms generate majority of their businesses from European countries only. A significant number of alumni are also located in the surrounding areas of Hyderabad and Delhi NCR.

Although IIM BG is currently considered to be a baby IIM, with the help of its alumni, the institution is making strides toward competing favourably in this challenging industry and is on track to outdo the performance of a number of the country’s most prestigious business schools in the years to come.
