According to IMI’s placement report 2007, this year placements were encouraging in two respects. First, there was a wide spread of companies across all functional areas -- be it finance, IT, marketing, HR, or operations. Secondly, and more importantly, the profiles being offered by a company were also as per students’ career goals.
