Institute Speaks
Prof. Viswanath Pingali, Chairperson, Placement, IIMA, remarked: “It is good to see recruiters placing faith in IIMA graduates even in a challenging business environment. IIMA aspires to provide each student with the best possible recruiter fit while ensuring absolute transparency through third-party audited reports.”
Atharva Kapadnis, Recruitment Secretary, MBA-PGP 2025, added: “The success of IIMA’s placement process lies in achieving the perfect ‘student-recruiter fit.’ Even in a difficult year, students were empowered with flexibility to pursue multiple dream opportunities, ensuring the best possible match with their career aspirations.”
Commitment to Transparency
Since 2011, IIM Ahmedabad has been a pioneer in releasing third-party audited placement reports, setting benchmarks for transparency in B-school hiring data. By publishing statistics only after full external audit, the Institute continues to inspire confidence among recruiters, students, and the industry.
A Trusted Destination for Top Roles
The 2025 report demonstrates that IIMA remains a preferred destination for leadership roles across sectors. By offering equal opportunity to both long-time recruiting partners and new entrants, IIM Ahmedabad has strengthened its position as a national leader in management education and placements.
