According to the IIM release, 15 per cent of the batch received more than one offer. Also, 50 per cent of offers were from the consulting (29 per cent) and finance (21 per cent) sectors.

Reputed consulting firms like AT Kearney, Bain & Co, The Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey & Co made offers in double digits. Other prominent names included EY-Parthenon, Alvarez & Marsal and PwC.

Accenture was the largest recruiter with 24 offers accepted, the release said.

Major finance recruiters like Goldman Sachs, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, CitiBank, JP Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank and Avendus also joined the placement process.
