IIM Calcutta concludes summer placements with 100% placements, 570 offers

The exercise was completely virtually, with the finance sector topping the hiring charts

IIM Calcutta has completed its summer internship placement week for the 58th batch, securing a “record breaking” 570 offers for 476 students, with 142 firms participating, the institute said on Wednesday.

The placement drive was completely virtually and saw the expansion of Hold & Wait (50 extra offers) and Dreams (36 extra offers) policies, which allowed all students to hold multiple offers and enabled companies to find a better company-student fit, the institute said in a statement.

The finance sector saw hiring in higher numbers (121 students), pipping the consulting sector (120 students) for the spot of top recruiting sector.
