Overview
The placement process for the graduating batch of the Post Graduate Programme (PGP) in
Management at IIM Ahmedabad was successfully completed within three clusters. The third and
final cluster was held on 14th February 2022. The placement process, with the concept of “Dream
Application”, allowed students to choose the sectors and functions of their choice for their final
placement. There were 35 dream applications during 2022 placement season. The successful
completion of the recruitment cycle for the batch of 382 students stands testament to the high
quality of students at the institute and the robust nature of the placement process that provides
adequate flexibility to both students and recruiters.
Placement process
The placement process was conducted in two stages. The first was the laterals process where firms
interviewed students with prior work experience and offered them mid-level managerial positions.
The second stage was the final placement process where firms were grouped into cohorts based
on the profile offered, and groups of cohorts were invited to campus across different clusters.

opportunity to optimally leverage their work experience. The laterals process included 60 firms
