    What is the placement benefits ?

    • Lokambika. V 2016-08-18 19:54:51

      Placements at IIM A are good. Although till our year, there was still some effect of the recession and we did not get much hike in packages but overall the quality of companies visiting was very good. The placement wrapped up in 3 days with students getting jobs of their choice. The packages differ based on the profile of companies.
