Kolkata: Students of the 2013-15 batch of the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIM-C) have received 78 offers so far from companies they interned with, up from 58 offers received during the same period last year.

Of the 78 offers made this year, 58 were pre-placement offers (PPO) and 20 were pre-placement interviews (PPI). PPOs are job offers made to students who had been chosen earlier for summer internships with the different companies, whereas PPIs ensure that the students get a direct access to interviews during the final placement season.

PPOs—an indicator of the hiring appetite of companies—typically begin during the middle of June and continue till December. Last year, IIM-C students had received 112 PPOs in total.

This season too, management consulting firms were the biggest hirers with McKinsey and Co., the Boston Consulting Group, Bain and Co. and AT Kearney making offers to 24 IIM-C students out of the 31 that interned with them. In other management verticals, offers were made by Tata Administrative Services and the Aditya Birla Group.

Philips India Ltd made three PPOs and two PPIs, which was the highest by the company among all IIMs. M.H. Alshaya and Co., a retail franchise based in West Asia, made eight PPOs. Among financial firms, Deutsche Bank was the first to make an offer this year.
