IIM-B students swamped with PPOs
Though PPO as a concept has been known for long, this year has seen a significant rise in the number of offers made to IIM-B students. PPOs are offers for final placement made to the students, based on their performance during the summer internship at companies after the first year of MBA. Already, 70 PPOs have been made for a batch of 250-said to be the highest across all IIMs. The offers come at a time when final campus placement, which usually takes place in March, is still six months away.
According to information released by the IIM-B Student Media Cell, recruiters include major consultancy firms and investment banks. All the consulting firms that recruit from IIM-B, which includes firms like McKinsey, The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Bain & Co, A T Kearney and Trilogy, have made PPOs to all the summer interns they hired from the IIM-B campus last year.
The interns worked with these companies in San Francisco, Australia, London, Texas, Singapore and Brussels.
