Indian Institute of Management Tiruchirappalli

Summer Placements 2013

The Indian Institute of Management Tiruchirappalli (IIMT) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its summer placement process for the 2012-14 batch. The economic downturn and a difficult job market notwithstanding, IIMT had a successful summer placement season. This has been possible due to the enthusiastic and supportive recruiters who greatly valued the quality of our students and rigor of the programme. The diverse skill sets, varied experience, fresh perspectives and keenness displayed by the students were highly appreciated by the recruiters.

The students had a good mix of profiles to choose from, both in terms of the broad domains and specific roles, at many of the leading companies in the country. The institute in its second year of operation hosted a total of 39 recruiters out of which 20 were participating in the process for the first time. A rolling process was followed for the summer placements.

This year we saw diverse profiles being offered in various areas including Private Equity and Corporate Banking, Sales and Advertising, Supply Chain and Manufacturing, Financial Consulting and Small Enterprise Consulting. Roles in Public Policy and General Management were also offered. A set of students preferred to work for start-ups to gain an enriching learning experience covering multiple aspects of business and a flavour of the challenging milieu of entrepreneurship. Ten students opted out of the placement process to pursue specific interests in niche sectors.
