The institute provided the above function-wise breakdown and also stated that 92.5% of the PMIR batch had been placed in human resource (HR) roles. When asked how the functional breakup could simultaneously be the one shown in the chart as well as one with 92.5% HR roles, the institute stated that 92.5% of the batch was placed in HR consulting roles or in the internal HR (training and development, rewards and compensation, career advancement and so on) functions of marketing, finance, or general management. The institute added that the remaining 7.5% were offered the same general management profiles as were offered to BM students.
