The Recruitment Season 2024–25 saw over 520 offers rolled out to students, delivering a Gross Value of ₹51.5 crore - a 19% surge from the previous year.
More than 115 recruiters - including marquee global and Indian firms such as McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, Bain & Company, Blackstone, Nomura, Meesho, AB InBev and D.E.

Internship opportunities also climbed notably, with 120+ offers and a highest stipend of ₹2.2 lakh per month. The Gross Internship Value hit ₹57.2 lakh.
Beyond numbers, the Placement Cell’s season-long focus on grooming and guidance bore fruit. Over 80 corporate engagement sessions were conducted, benefitting more than 1,000 students. Among the highlights: sessions hosted by McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, and impact consulting firm Dalberg.
Recruiters noted the polish and preparedness of candidates. “The students we interacted with displayed strong analytical and problem-solving skills,” said Anuj Rikhye, Partner at Accuracy. Kriti Gambhir, Recruitment Analyst at WTW, echoed the sentiment: “The candidates...were not only well-prepared academically but also exhibited a high level of enthusiasm and eagerness to learn and contribute.”
