Dear All,

Warm Greetings!

Congratulations and welcome to the DMS IIT Delhi family. An MBA college is as much about
skill enhancement, as it is about personal and professional grooming.

With this in mind, we are pleased to release the official Dress Code that will be followed at all
the corporate events at DMS IIT Delhi. This dress code will be followed for Business Leader
Lecture series (BLL), Pre-Placement Talks, Business Conclaves as well as all other Placement
Related Events (PRE).

You are required to adhere to this Dress Code (known as the Placement Formals/ Business
Formals), which have been designed to promote and prescribe certain acceptable and uniform
standards of clothing as would be expected of a manager when he / she joins the corporate
world.

Though these guidelines have been laid out below in a detailed manner, they are not exhaustive
in nature and we trust the student’s judgment to dress neatly and smartly.

We hope you have a great and enjoyable experience at DMS IIT Delhi.

Best wishes,

Prof Arpan K. Kar

Faculty Placement Coordinator

Department Of Management Studies
Indian Institute Of Technology Delhi, Hauz Khas, New Delhi – 110016
