7 mins read

The final placements at all the ‘new IIMs’ have been completed over the last three-four months. After a period of sluggish placement metrics across B-schools in India during the pandemic, 2022 saw a significant uptick. The positive trend was especially prominent in tier I and tier II b-schools with salary metrics in some cases even surpassing pre-pandemic levels.

Among the b-schools where some semblance of pre-pandemic hiring levels was restored are the IIMs. While the first generation IIMs witnessed a massive increase in CTCs, the second generation IIMs - commonly called 'new IIMs', were not far behind. As markets are adapting to the impacts of the pandemic, growth is again back on the agenda for most companies. A consequence of this is the increased hiring by companies compared to the time of the pandemic.
