Hi,
Gautam Mago has a CA background and had work exp. with Anderson Consulting. Now, just saying a CA background is putting it lightly. He has scored an All-India top rank in the CA final exam. He is also the top ranker in IIM C. Add to that the fact that he was Student Council President , a top class tennis player and has cracked lotss of b-school events. Most notable, would be at Confluence at IIM A, where he walked off with the lion's share of the total prize money on offer despite the fact that studs from Wharton and other foreign b-schools were reportedly on the prowl. So, now you can get an idea of the calibre of this guy and why he landed offers from everywhere.I would say that McKinsey was justified in its elation at getting him.

But, that fact is that the story does not end there. Quite a few people had offers across companies. Some of the recruiters had to recast their offer lists to ensure that they did get a share of the best. Rahul Karkun, for example, is one of the best quanti brains across campuses in India. The guy has a mathematical proof to his name! Deutsche couldn't wait (literally) to make him an offer and he was also high on the target list of the other I-banks.

However, it is not that only the institute toppers made it into the Day Zero list. Rahul, for example, has a CG of about 6.5. One of my seniors from CET, Pameela, had a slightly higher one. But, there is no denying the fact that most of the crackos were among the insti's toppers.

So, that is how the story of placements has gone so far. I am happy that IIM Calcutta has wiped out any doubts where it stands in the order of things as far as b-schools are concerned in India. Some of the co.s like Cap One and HSBC made offers only at C and A. McKinsey and AT Kearney had their biggest recruitment at C. :P
Slot One starts tomorrow and we will keep you updated. Watch this space for more!

yup a real awesome time...
...i was covoling(company volunteer) with Mckinsey & Co., so saw it at first hand!!

Most of the guys who got through on slot 0 had a CG of above 7 out of 9..soo roughly top 20-25 guys...so having a good cg does help...or the correlation could be the other way...that guys with good cg are generally better than others...atleast intellectually.

Mos tof them were also pretty active on the extracurrics front..so def adds value ..

Slot 1 is also rocking...the official figures will be out soon ....but im sure ajay will be out with them before that

~and yeah...mago rocks!!!...so does IIMC

Hi,
Slot One has been siimply GREAT here. As the offers were made today, it is clear that IIM C has had the best performance across b-schools. As much as we would love to give you the numbers, we will desist till the official list is released - since that is the prudent policy.
Just suffices to say that , company for company, our students have performed better than any other B-school. I am sure tomorrow will be a similar story. Keep watching this space!!!

Regards,
Ajay

A friend of mine at IIMC landed with the most highly paid offer from Capital one across all campuses a $120000 (lateral)!! He dinged it to lap up Mckinsey at Rs 12 lakhs!

Mudit had only one call from IIMC which he converted..ranks fourth today in IIMC with cgp of 7.8 , has 7 years of experience in BSNL (Indian Telecom Service) , was one of the toppers of NIT Bhopal and has many prizes to go with his etra ordinary debating skills! Incidentally he also won the Aditya Birla schol while being in the first year of IIMC!

BTW is it more important to ge all 6 calls or to crack acads at the MBA ?!

[foundation2er]

word does get around fast!!!

~and yeah ..mago is not the only stud at IIMC

$120000 and Rs.12 laks it looks like 12 is a lucky number

Lateral is higher than entry level.

For old timers...........our own Gokulnath Pai (whose interview experience you may read on cat2k2 files sections, and maybe now ported even to cat-2003 and cat2004 (if there is any such grp by that name)) who was a great help for cat2k2ers is with Marico Industries.............

So anyone who wants a free supply to Parachut coconut oil know who to contact
