Six Post Graduate Programme (PGP) students have dropped out of the placement process at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, to work on their own ventures under the guidance of Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship (CIIE). The institute stated that around 176 students took up the “dream” applications to firms of their choice in a subsequent cluster even with an offer in hand.

They are being given the flexibility and choice to build a career in sectors of their preference. Firms from multiple domains participated across the three clusters in final placements and students were placed across more than 23 cohorts. In the second stage of the final placement process, firms were grouped into cohorts based on the profile offered, and groups of cohorts were invited to campus across different clusters. Firms from different sectors and geographies participated in the process. About 125 firms participated with 150 different roles this year.
