Being the only IIM with an MBA in Tourism Management, IIM Sirmaur drew in recruiters like Air India, Cordelia Cruises, EaseMyTrip, Indigo, TravelBullz, etc. with opportunities for students of both the MBA and MBA Tourism Management 2023-25 programs. As India emerges as a promising global tourist destination, plans to launch multiple Executive MBA / Management Development Programs in Tourism Management are in the pipeline.
Several efforts towards transparency in the processes were followed by the Placement Committee, headed by Dr. Karthikeyan Balakumar and Dr. Kirti Saxena. Various initiatives were introduced this year to make placements more inclusive, technology driven & less stressful for students. The Director, Prof. Prafulla Agnihotri, “This is just a beginning, and we aim to disrupt the entire campus placement process to ensure the best for the industry and our students.”
The institute believes in empowering students to make informed decisions about their careers and understands and respects the dreams that students carry when they join an IIM. The institute is in the final leg of wrapping up their final placements and expects to complete the placements soon, to allow students to get the best possible career opportunities for themselves this year. This is a great step forward for the institute, as it continues to set new benchmarks in management education.
