Ritu Mehta who is the Chairperson of Placement Activities at IIM Calcutta said the batch performed exceptionally well continuing the institute’s record of strong placements. She thanked recruiters for their trust and highlighted IIM Calcutta’s efforts to maintain a smooth and rewarding placement process for both students and employers.

Several domestic and international companies participated including many first-time recruiters. The institute credited its large alumni network and cluster-cohort placement model which includes a “dream offer” policy for ensuring a strong match between students and recruiters.
