IIM Lucknow has announced the completion of its summer placements. All the 285
students of various courses were lapped up by corporates within no time. In total
424 offers were made to the students.

The placements saw the students with prior work experience get choicest jobs. This
year saw a record of 424 offers as compared to 391 last year. The number of foreign
placements saw a tremendous rise from 6 last year to 28 this year. Companies
offering foreign placements include BNP Paribas Hong Kong, Citibank Hong Kong,
Barclays Capital (London), Unilever (London), Proctor & Gamble (Global Offices for
Marketing, CBD, CMK and F & A), Alshaya and Arohi Asset Management.
The Summers placements this year saw a large number of consulting firms like
McKinsey & Co., BCG, Ernst & Young, Accenture, KPMG, Price Waterhouse Coopers, TAS,
and the likes visiting the campus.
According to Dr Devi Singh, Director, IIM Lucknow, there has been a marked increase
in the number of "better" profiles being offered by the clients. "The trend this
year has been that IIML students have been offered the more coveted jobs in the
industry, even for summers, like consulting, treasury, trading, etc. This has been
possible because the recruiters have been impressed with the programmes, pedagogy
and academic resilience of the courses at IIML."
Typically the students were offered basic profiles in most functions for their
summer internships, but now the trend at IIML this year has been that the most
coveted and sought after profiles in each function, for example brand management in
marketing, trading & treasury profiles in Finance are increasingly being offered to
students for even their internships.
In iBanking, the most sought after client facing roles were also offered for summer
placements. In Sales and Marketing profiles, brand management profiles are being
offered for summers. These are bascally strategy and implementation profiles within
the brand management function.
Johnson & Johnson (Consumer & Medical), GSK (Consumer & Pharma), Yahoo, Intel, IBM
and Reliance were some other major recruiters.
