IIM Kozhikode today announced the successful completion of summer placements for its thirteenth batch (2009-11).

The highest stipend offered this year was over Rs. 1,00,000 inclusive of perks and allowances. “Students got challenging roles and profiles of their liking with the support of our regular recruiters who have re-instated their commitment towards IIM Kozhikode. The participation of new recruiters in the emerging fields of media, sports management, hospitality and NGOs is indicative that our students are also willing to explore new avenues and challenge old stereotypes” says Prof Keyoor Purani, Chairperson Placements, IIM Kozhikode.
With the ghosts of the financial meltdown and global recession behind them, banks and other financial services firms were back on the talent hunt lapping up as much as 21% of the batch.

Dr. Purani also added that “As a matter of principle we have tried that students get jobs in areas of their interest.
