The Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow (IIM-L) completed final placements for the class of 2018-20 (34th Batch) of the two-year post-graduate programme. The highest international salary package (CTC) offered to a student was ₹58.47 lakh while the highest domestic salary package (CTC) was ₹54 lakh. The mean salary of students came to around ₹24.25.
This was the first time the B-school announced the CTC of students.
The recruitment drive saw participation from more than 140 domestic and international recruiters. The participation of these firms also marked the ascent of IIM-L as a preferred recruitment destination for consulting, finance, operations, product management and marketing roles in the country.
Rajesh Aithal, chairman, students’ affairs and placement, attributed this to excellent pedagogy, competencies and values students acquire at IIM-L. “With this year’s placements, IIM-L has yet again reinforced its presence among the top B-schools in the country and has proven to be a preferred destination for organisations, which select limited B-schools to recruit,” he said.
