- Peer Group: As with any B school competitiveness is ingrained into every batch but when folks say that no one is left behind at Joka it is reassuring to know that it is not entirely said for posterity
- Campus Culture: A culture which actually focuses on exploring interests and interacting with others over simple academic excellence was both unexpected and welcome.
Dislikes
- Hostel Infrastructure: With the exception of LVH each hostel has small rooms and no accommodations for the extremely humid weather. The infra is ancient and liveable is the kindest word that I can use for it.
- Placement transparency: With the concentration of power in the hands of place comm. it is very easy to feel like the placement process is not entirely fair for all. There are little to no checks for favouritism too.
Placement Experience:
Placement happens in two cycles: Summers and Laterals/Finals. Summer placements are for internships over the summer and final/lateral placements are for permanent roles after graduation with laterals for folks with considerable work experience. Placement is overseen by a placement committee comprised of 10 members from seniors in your first year and juniors in your second. The companies are split into 3 clusters and the process takes place over a week for all cycles. You can look up the figures in the placement report available online but the brief explanation is that everyone gets placed and the best firms visiting the campus tend to remain consistent.

IIM Calcutta: 30 Answered Questions
How much does the graduation score effect in placements (summer and final) of IIMs (IIM C in precise) and FMS, Delhi? Will 68% in UG will be a hurdle for me in placements?
Let’s consider the effect of graduation scores in summer and final placements separately.
Summer Placements:
During these placements, the recruiters don’t have your MBA profile to judge you. So they have to take your graduation score, past academics, and other criteria into consideration. The summer placements are largely based on what the candidate has achieved till the time he joined his/her MBA program. This is exactly why placement committees request that students utilize the time before joining the institute to improve their resumes. You can upscale yourself with work experience, your education, your extra-curricular activities, etc.
Final Placements:
During these placements, the students are almost about to complete their MBA. This means their profile has improved through various on and off-campus opportunities. These opportunities include research projects, work on industry projects, and summer internships. So now your CGPA in your MBA program and performance in these activities carry more importance than your undergraduate CGPA.
So we can say graduation scores matter in summer placements but not much in final placements.

Following are my insight from the above comparison:

After recent revelations regarding IIM Calcutta placements, is it wiser to choose IIM A/B/ L, XLRI or FMS over IIM Calcutta?
Every institute has its own shortcomings. If you choose IIM A/B/L or XLRI or FMS over IIM Calcutta, do you think you will not face any problems there? It’s just that their flaws haven’t been exposed yet. The fact that someone had the courage to come up and challenge IIM Calcutta is enough to prove its worth. The revelations were made by an IIM Calcutta student itself. This also proves the confidence level and leadership skills of these students are remarkable.
Besides, IIM Calcutta is among the best for a reason. Some casual claims cannot rain its reputation.
How are the placements for engineers with no work experience at the IIMs, FMS Delhi and XLRI?
The two most important factors considered by recruiters during Placements at IIM ABC/FMS/XLRI are
- Brand of UG College - SRCC/Old IITs/BITS/CA
- High Academics - University RankHolders, City Toppers in Boards, or at least Department Rank Holders with 8.5+ in Engineering.
MBA scores are of much importance during Final Placements but are Not available during summer placement.
If you have passed the above criteria, you are most likely to land any job. Still, I have segregated the roles that require work experience and the roles that do not.
Roles that require work experience
- Operations/Supply chain/product management.
- Any role will require work experience if your above 2 criteria are not up to the mark.
Roles that do not require work experience
- Consulting
- Investment Banking
- PE/VC
- Marketing
- Corporate Finance roles
So most of the jobs do not require work experience. Even if they do only non-engineering work experience is of value unless you want to go into Operations/Supply chain/product management.
How is SPJIMR's placement report better than IIMs including IIM Calcutta and as good as IIM Ahmedabad (both Average and Median)?
Here are a few possible reasons why SPJIMR placements are better than or equally good as IIMs
- SPJIMR has a much smaller batch size in comparison to IIMs and thus the average rises.
- SPJIMR has a very rigorous selection process that filters the best students and the recruiters are well aware of this.
- SPJIMR enjoys a great location maximizing the exposure and opportunities rendered to the students.
- The students perform exceptionally well in the placement interviews and thus secure high packages.
It's important to note that these reasons are just based on speculations and it cannot be exactly determined why some placements are better than others.
Does IMI Kolkata really provide 100% placement?
IMI Kolkata students are placed in reputable firms in Kolkata, where the placement rate is high. The actual placement rate, however, may change from year to year and may also rely on elements like the general state of the economy and the industries in which the students are most interested. But for the year 2021-2022, it has offered 100 percent placements in its college.
Some of the prominent participating companies were JSW, Jaro, Nivea, RBI, Deloitte, ICICI, McVitie’s among many others. Top job profiles include Sales Manager, Senior Manager, Team Leader, Tax Consultant, and Business Analyst.
How do I get a package of 30 lakhs in the field of marketing, post MBA from IIMA/B/C, FMS, MDI, SPJIMR, and IIFT?
While many may shed their philosophies on how getting a high package should not be your ultimate goal and stuff, I am here with a different opinion. When you are investing a huge amount of money it is only right to expect a greater monetary benefit and a better lifestyle. So I have mentioned some techniques that will help you land a package of 30 LPA specifically in the field of marketing post-MBA from IIM ABC, FMS, MDI, SPJIMR, and IIFT.
- The first thing you need to do is lower your expectations as no marketing placements offer a package higher than 25 LPA. These highest offers are made by top firms like Reckitt Benckiser, HUL, P&G, and Asian Paints.
- You need to figure out what you really are after, a good marketing role or a high-paying job. If you are after the latter I suggest you go for big consulting firms like Mc Kinsey, BCG, or investment banks that offer 30+ LPA.
- But if it is the marketing role you are after, then make sure your resume reflects your marketing enthusiasm. This will further increase your chances of selection.
- Performing well in the competitions conducted by your desired company is another way to get a high-paying job.
- If the Final Placements are your last resort then make sure you have a stable and excellent CGPA. Many companies consider this factor while shortlisting.
These points will help you get your dream job but cannot necessarily guarantee it. It all ultimately depends on your efforts and obviously your luck.
What are the profiles of the PGPEX students at IIM Calcutta who get more than Rs 50 LPA in campus placements? How can I build that profile?
IIM Calcutta does not release exact figures regarding its placement and more so for its Executive programs.
According to the in-depth study of last placement reports, the profile of PGPX students at IIM Calcutta should be:
-
Average work experience of around 8 years
-
Work experience from IT sector
-
Should have already been earning 30-40 LPA
This information is just based on assumptions and exceptions can take place.
How good is placement at ISB, Hyderabad compared to IIMs (since number of students are much more in ISB, leading to tough competition)?
When comparing the placements of the two, ISB and IIMs, the batch size hardly matters because both institutes market different products. The background and profiles of students of both institutes are too versatile to draw comparisons. If I roughly divide the ISB students and the kind of placement scenario they face then
- 90% of students get their dream jobs in the desired sector and company
- 10% of the students get jobs that are below their expectations but not worse enough to forgo the offers
So the batch size does not matter here and ISB Hyderabad placements are themselves quite satisfactory.
