Our college provides the experience which is worth the money and good placements and good education.

Placements: Our college provides 100% opportunities for both internships and final placements. Top firms from various sectors like BAML, McK, BCG, P&G, Citi, GS, MS, JPMC, Brain, etc., dominate PE/VCs. Microsoft and other firms also offered roles across geographies and other profiles. Placements in IIM are most fresher-friendly, and also placements are mostly available in finance. Salary packages offered are not disclosed as it is a policy of IIM C and peer B-Schools.

This is a must join college.

Placements: Placements in college are very good. Students are from diverse backgrounds and have a target role and industry which makes it difficult to attract companies. However, due to college brand, efforts and preparedness of students, almost 90% of the students end up getting their desired role and industry.

Infrastructure: Being the oldest IIM, the infrastructure can't be an issue. We have been to foreign universities, and their facilities are not much better than ours. In addition, the campus has 7 lakes which make th...

The academics and placements are excellent. Awesome campus life, but the infrastructure is poor.

Placements: IIM Calcutta is one the best colleges regarding placements. The college provides 100% placements for the students of every batch. The average salary package offered was 19 LPA to 20 LPA. Around 140-160 companies from finance, consulting, marketing, general management and e-commerce sectors visit the college to participate in placement drives. Each placement drive takes more than two days to record 100% placements, where the total number of students is 450.

IIM Calcutta - Joka of our Dreams.

Placements: One the best colleges in the country when it comes to placements. Arguably no. 1 among IIMs in terms of placements. Has the maximum number of finance roles as compared to any other B-school in India. Here, you can get the best role in any sector of your choice if you are focused and determined to get the offer.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure here has the best balance of nature and construction. The campus with 7 lakes has a lot of water bodies and greenery ensuring pleasant and serene environment. Being the first IIM it has many old buildings but a lot of state of the art buildings and a the latest sports complex have also come up in the campus recently. The artificial turf for multi sports and basketball court are the latest additions to the sports infra at the campus. The academic buildings are completely air condit...

I can't disclose the exact salary figures but they are good, really good in most of the cases. 100% placements are now an inherent characteristic of the institute. Nobody can question that.
