Hi thedragon,

While i'm not in the position to comment on IIML and its recruiters, just wanted to clarify your subject line stating "Cap one did not visit IIMK"

True, the final process took place in Bombay. However, it was still part of the placements process and therefore qualifies as a visit. In fact, companies like Mckinsey have been calling graduates from IIML/XL etc to Bombay for interviews over the past few years and they have been included in placement reports as companies that have visited the institutes. Moreover, the PPT, test, informal interaction etc took place on campus itself!

Anyway, the point here is that the opportunity to interview with Cap one was available to an individual in his/her capacity as an IIMK student and therefore constitutes a 'visit'.

I know (or hope!) your post was more from the point of view of clarifying that Cap one has been a recruiter at IIML rather than saying that it didn't visit IIMK, but i felt it was important to clarify in order to avoid a string of messages claiming dishonesty/fudging/whatever! :)
As far as SBI backing out, dont think that'll happen yet! Companies are also (usually) mature enough to understand that a person might prefer a Cap one over an SBI. And indeed, SBI did visit campuses this year. Anyway, heard L had great placements too. Congratulations!

Welll congrtas to IIMK for their fabulous placements but i'd like to shed light on one fact here..

the reason why Capone dint come to L is coz they wanted to conduct thier process on the 13th of March after placements.. like it has been done this year..

While last year our campus followed the same procedure and 4 offers were made.. to L students..

This yr, they came calling with the same process of calling students to their Bombay office... after placemnts are over..

This is not in interest of the institute as the the candidates shorltisted for the Cap One process already had job offers from their final placements ....

If they are made an offer from Cap One then they will reject the offer made to them during finlas.. which hurts the onstis relationship with companies.. as a commitment has already been made to them about the student joining thier company..

Last yr a student from L got selected in SBI and then got an offer from Capone after placements were over in thier Bombay process. consequently he left SBI.. Now this yr. there was this whole talk of SBI not coming to the IIMs because of students leaving before joining part of which was fuelled by such incidents.

this is the reason IIML decided not to have the Capone process.. and not because of some other fault..

So please do not think that it recriuts only from A,B , or K.. it depends on what terms they are offfering for conducting the placements.

I am sure they would have made 4-5 offers had L agreed to thier conducting the process in Bombay.

hi all

great post rahul. i have only one thing to say u post seems to be very honest.

to all other members guys lets not debate about wether placement was great or not instead appreciate that analysis put up by iim k people is honest.

Great job mate keep it up

Hi Mayank,

No one here is saying that CapOne is the best company to work for, or is as good as a lehman/morgan stanley. All that has been said is that this year, it has visited IIMK (along with IIMA and IIMB) and made offers. While it might be a huge recruiter in the US, in India it recruits only at the IIMs (for Sr. Business Analyst positions) and IITs for (for analyst positions). People here are very much aware of the kind of profile offered by it, and in fact, some of the high rankers did not sit for its process when it came here as they were not interested in the profile. So really, there is no hype about it apart from the fact that its still an exclusive recruiter here (6 offers across IIMA/B/K).

And yes it does recruit across majors like an Infy or TCS...but do u know why? Most of the work involves financial data analysis and some number crunching, which is really not a prerogative of any particular major but an individual student skill.

Even at Vtech (i had an admit there a few years back), it was a decent company to land a job a few years back, primarily bcos at that time, the economy was in recession, and it was one of the few cos that still kept recruiting.

Anywyas, the basic point is that its a first at International placements at IIMK...its takes a long time for any business school to build an image that attracts truly global recruiters (Capone recruits at Harvard/Wharton/Stanford etc)..the top IIMs have done it over some decades....and such is the growth nowadays that we have managed it in less than 10. We recognize that there is a still a long way to go in terms of gettin global recruiters..but this is a start, and the hype (if any at all!!) is more because of the exclusivity in the indian bschool context rather than a misplaced air of achievement.

HTH,
raul.

Great Post Raul. Other bschoolers should take a leaf from your writing ability and ensure such proper responses are given out to people who need the clarification. Extremely well put. Great work.

I dont understand the Hype being created here....Cap One is a good company but very frankly the job profile is next to nothing. And believe me when i say Cap One offers the same salary to any graduate from a good american university (i knw for sure abt Virginia Tech)...And whats more they dont even care what stream you are from MS in CS, ECE, or CpE....more like Infy or TCS here.

SO get the picture guys!! Cap One is no Lehman Brothers or Morgan Stanley.

You have, old man

Good show folks :)

poltergeist

wud luv to know what was so special abt the profile of the selected candidate that made them offer him more than that at the other campuses..lateral offer?

Good write up on the placements scene... Congrats again..

People here are pretty hard working people and profile is pretty decent 60:40 infavour of freshers....as compared to previous batches which were heavily loaded with work-ex.The outgoing batch is not skewed in favour of engineers or IT people its pretty decent and diversified you can check out the same in here http://intranet.iimk.ac.in/pgp03A-1.html

Btw,where are you placed ,Sandipan?
And what about Sathish VM? Will he be joining IBM?

..Shrikanthk
Sandipan, NIL, myself,NFS,jaspreet are of 2006 batch... so we will come out with better than the best results for the next year ... Wat say SrikanthK

needforspeed Now that was a lot better than the official placement report! :smile:And in your report the emphasis seemed to be more on work experience ppl..what about freshers? So what kind of jobs did a fresher get? and what kind of relevance did an IT backgrnd have for a Finance job? If someone with say a year exp in IT wanted to opt for any other stream was he/she treated on par with the fresher? Now that you have actually gone thro' the gamut of placements is the concept of "relevant work experience" really a myth?

And do let us know which offers you guys bagged..:smile:

Thanks..the *official* report had to go to some *official* people, hence the formality
Coming to the jobs for freshers, most went into Finance/Banking/Marketing/FMCG.
Salaries were great even for freshers this year (and not just for laterals as usual). For Eg,
ITC offered some 8+ lakhs plus benefits etc, I already mentioned Irevna/JP Morgan
which took freshers at great payscales.

For the first time, we did not have an IT heavy/Laterals strong batch at IIMK. The shift was refreshing as it has opened up the other sectoral placements really well while keeping the IT scene going. Bodes well for my batch! (im in the first year). I dont think too many seniors are around to post...most of them are bloody are lazing around at some resort /tourist spot in and around Kerela before the convo

An IT background didnt help much for a Fin Job except in JP Morgan where they
recognized your experience and paid u a little higher than the freshers...as for helping
in getting the job, only your knowledge about Fin mattered. One sector it helped was
Consulting where companies like Deloitte which actually prefered people with some
work experience.

Definitely IIMK Placement rocks. With just 120 people, I can imagine the kinda of options available to them.

But just to confirm, can you please confirm if these companies were there or not (just for information, I don't mean anything else)

General Managment - TAS
Marketing - HLL, P&G;
IT - Congnizant, SAP
Finance - ICICI, HSBC

Congrats once more.

Yea...I guess it might be easier to convert a biggie at IIMK with 120 contenders than someplace else with 250+ . ICICI, HSBC, HLL have been our past recruiters but hadnt come since last year due to the heavy work ex nature of the batch profile at IIMK - which meant very strong lateral placements and hardly any people being left over for finals where these companies usually come.

However, that has changed since the last year...we're much more diverse and balanced in the fresher:lateral ratio..so a lot of such companies are returning. We do expect to get some of the cos you mentioned back for the coming summers...a lot of companies like to start there and then get into finals, for eg. this year for summers, among the many new cos we added were Ernst and Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Microsoft!

IIMK Awards for Studliness in Placement Process (sponsored by JC)
Best Work-exer Award

Gaurav Aggarwal: Offers from Capital One, IBM Business Consulting, Deloitte Consulting and Patni.

Best Fresher Award

Sreekanth Vancheeswaran: Offers from Asian Paints, GE Money, GECIS and Godrej.

Lifetime Achievement Award

Ronald Jesse Philippe (RJP to PGites): PPO from GE Money. Senior Placecom guy who charmed many a HR lady.


Miscellaneous stuff: (Already elaborated by others, but since I had already written it down, sending it out anyway)

We do not have a Day -1. Our process starts on day 0. This year the placements got over on Day 1. One reason for this is that we schedule only about 10-12 companies on day 0.

IIMK only looks at gross salaries when computing average salaries. Eg: Irevna is a financial services company that goes only to IIM A,B,C and K. It offers a package of 7 lakhs gross + 7 lakhs variable + training costs + pf + chai pani. In the computation it will figure as 7 lakhs and not 16.1 lakhs which is using the formula used by certain other B-Schools.

Laterals rocked with everyone eligible getting at least one job. Some people wanted to hold one job so they could sit for some companies in the finals, otherwise everybody would have landed up with 2 jobs. The laterals scene in IIMK has always been very strong as we have always had very high workex batches. Now, there is a much more balanced batch that is being taken.


Peace out

Hi Poltergeist,

Thanks for the wishes - hehe, heard day zero at A was rocking!

Yeah, the guy who got the Capital One offer at IIMK - Gaurav Agarwal - had 2 years of prior work experience, so Cap-One added $10k to his base salary in recognition of that. The 2 offers at IIMB were apparently less. Apart from the base salary and signing bonus, if you add the benefits, PF, relocation expenses, etc - it works out to a CTC of around $130k, which is what IIMC also quoted last year - which eventually turned out to be the highest salary across all the IIMs. We decided against mentioning the Cap-One CTC since the company requested us to just quote the cash component of the package.

Gaurav incidently has had a whale of a time at placements here. He's an REC-Allahabad engineer with 2 years of IT work-ex. Apart from a PPO from Patni where he did his summers, he had offers during lateral placements from Deloitte Consulting and IBM Business Consulting (!) . Then of course came the whopper - Cap-One!
The dude was interviewed today by Headlines Today/Aaj Tak and all the papers

It's really cool, cos in the 2 years that I've been here, things have changed dramatically - not just on the placements scene - but even otherwise, with the foreign exchange programme kicking off last year, some great new faculty and electives, fun activities like the IIMK-IIMB sports meet, etc. Placements 2005 was the icing on the cake, and given that some more heavy-weight names are expected next year - it's probably fair to say that this is just the sign of good things to come.

Yours truly is headed to GE Money on a PPO - any PG-ites joining GE Money?

Cheers,
RJP

Hello Nil and Sandipan first of all am glad you took that post in the right sense

And some characteristic that I must point here, is that IIMK tranditionally selects a very diverse, multi-faceted batch. The passing out batch has fair share of people with no work experience, people with middle-to-low
work-experience and quite a few having high work-experience.

The question in my mind how much of a relevance the final offers had with respect to the work experience. And also the kind of job profiles people got. No globe please :)

"_Nil_"| Says

And this placements 2005, we have seen an amazing rise in offers being made in Finance roles, rather across all streams. IT had been our forte, but Finance offers have almost caught up with it. And with the kind of feedback that we have received from the companies that came, we are really proud of our institute. It all, has created a very positive impression on the current 1st year-ites, and the reality is, many of them are looking at a career switch. I truly believe it has been an excellent placement year for us

Since IT had/has been IIM K's forte did people with IT background have any advantage? and how tough/easy was for the people from different streams?

_nil- Says

IIMK is growing, and has achieved much in just 7 years since its inception, and we are very positive about the future.

one never really doubted that did one?:)

|"_Nil_" Says

As regards your comments on report, I am really not sure if you have really documented anything (??), am really sorry to say that. If you are working for a company, it will have its prototype and you will fill in the gyan. So what I am essentially saying is that every document type has a format, its the content that matters, wont you agree to that??

As a fresher in the "IT" industry I can assure you I can teach you a thing or two abt documentation and prototypes
That was exactly my point...it is so mundane that this forum doesnt deserve a report like that:) Sure no harm in posting that but we naturally expected something more without having asked for pertinently! And well I am interested more in what "how" the content came into existence than merely the "content" See people reading the report would see merely the figures....but not the underlying form. I just thought it would be better if the underlying form is brought out also. You just might help someone take the right decision.

hey girish...thanks for your insights yaar....actually to write about each job profile or process followed for each company would be very cumbersome....and this was the official report as released by our placements
commitee...i would definitely answer in specific query you have if i can or would direct you to the relevant person......and i reiterate...one stark contrast u can see is in the average salary figures...when the norm of the day is 8+ per annum by
every other institute, we stuck to our own ways...even for CapOne we stuck to the cash component only...else we cud have said the ctc with all benefits is $130000...and i bet it wud look all the more impressive then...
on a lighter note....the entire world is going by Cut and Paste..think IT has made us too lazy..

Oh tnx for the offer Sandipan but the questions weren't even for me! Am sure lots of ppl will ask the right questions once the high of the salary has sunk in! Fair enough writing abt every company process might be cumbersome...but we could hardly get any information form that report...and no thanks nto sure many ppl in this forum think much abt the "official placement report"..we would rather hear from the horses mouth! Like you are doing now...:)
Girish...!

hey congrats guys that seems to be a great placement...and I am saying unabashedly that I will be cut/copy pasting the same thing in all such placement related threads because of the simple fact that everyone knows everyone eventually gets placed....what's the big deal ? :huh: The one thing which makes this forum unique is it's ability to call a spade a spade...so how abt saying something which we cannot get from the newspapers or other sites? would it be too much to ask for little more details regarding the offers and what was the profile of people who got it? That IMNSHO would be more exhaustive and frankly more informative. If you could enumerate the proceudre also it owuld be even great. Atleast ppl of different streams getting into IIM K would know what they are getting into atleast when it comes to placements....the thing is the article is way too general and hardly informative for someone looking for specifics. Frankly change the institute name and change certain numbers here and there and u have a prototype of placement report. Hardly objective..but then guess am expecting too much ....
Girish...!

Hmm...point taken! The report has just started the thread off, but we are here to help out and answer any queries that comeup and give out more info. You have to realise that there is only so much info that you can pack into a 2 pager...I'll try and answer your queries but it would help if you could ask for some specific info - much easier to answer.

Details about Offers and the people who got it:

This batch of IIMK was about 60:40 in favour of freshers, a lot of whom opted for jobs in Finance & Marketing. Some of the people had come here with a view to get a career shift - from IT to Finance/Marketing and a lot of those actually managed it. For eg. the guy who got Capital One had about 2 years experience in IT, a PPO from Patni and offers from IBM Business Consulting and Deloitte Consulting (ya i know, hes a god!! but there are others who had similar stories!). He managed a Fin Job and the company actually gave him an offer higher than they normally gave to freshers at IIMA/B.

Another chap with about an year's IT experience but interested in Marketing and got his dream job at Asian Paints. Many many more examples along these lines...the basic point being if you are interested in trying out something new, then this place will help you get that. The number of HR jobs on offer outstripped applicants, with most HR Majors (all freshers) getting a great array of companies to choose from.

Regarding Job profiles - one of the newest job profiles to hit campuses this year is the Financial Research Analyst job. Due to certain legislation changes in the US, it now much more economical for the big ticket Investment banks to carry out research in India where they get bright MBAs. So you'll find JP Morgan Chase visiting a lot of campuses for roles - one is investment banking research and the other being equity research. There were also companies like Adventity and Irevna - which are third party firms in the same space offering great salaries (arnd 7 lakhs plus a 0 to 100% added on bonus!!)

Other roles in Fin are already listed in the report..if you have any queries about a specific role, go ahead n shoot.

Lastly, coming to the procedure (i assume u are referring to the placements procedure?)
Lateral placements started off a couple of months ago on a rolling basis - any company can come down and conduct its process for guys with experience during that period. There was no predefined cutoff (as long as the guy had > 12 months exp) and it was left to individual companies to decide how many months of cutoff they wanted. So you had a CSC asking for ppl with more than 36 months workex (and givin roles/sals in that league) and Wipro on the other which gave salaries between 6.5 and 8 lakhs depending on the prior workex.

Finals were scheduled for 6 days, but got over in 2. (a few hours into day 1 as other campuses put it! ) Companies were slotted depending on their roles and pay packages with the better ones coming in first and getting a look at much higher number of people. Ppl could take 1 Job + a shot at their Dream Co. (PPOs not counted as offers)

Halfway into Day One we realised we were in serious trouble as they were hardly any people left and tonnes of companies scheduled to arrive in the evening and the next days!! Frantic phone calls to all the companies whose teams were already in Calicut were made. Basically a slot was supposed to start at 7 PM, and we were sure that there would be hardly anyone left by then, so in the afternoon itself we asked all the HR teams who had arrived in Calicut to ditch everything and come to campus asap!! The ones who managed to make it in early got a few applicants, some went back without taking interviews (We had a tough job with them ). The companies scheduled for the next day were told to cancel tickets/plans and we had to shut shop midway thru Day 1 itself.

Well, I hope I cleared some of ur queries..this post is as bloody long as the report itself! Go ahead n ask if you have any more..

As regards the Class of 2005, their profile is publicly available at http://intranet.iimk.ac.in/pgp03A-1.htm. You should definately check out the profile there.

Adding to what JC has reported, i would like to mention that the salaries shown DO NOT include training costs, travelling costs 2 years hance and any other conceivable allowance....we donot believe in such stuffs...so what you are seeing is the average of plain vanilla gross salaries as offered by the companies..

Also...CapOne made the highest offer in IIMK amongst the 3 campuses they visited this year...the 3 campuses being IIMA, IIMB and IIMK.....

IIMK has arrived at the international arena within just 8 years and we are very sure the journey from here on can only be skyward...

Cheers
