Top recruiters to step-up hiring at B-schools despite slowdown

Undaunted by slow economic growth, top recruiters are preparing to step up hiring from top B-schools, including IIMs, when campus placements kick off from first week of February. Among Goldman Sachs, Cognizant, Capgemini, ICICI Bank, HCL Technologies, Citibank and KPMG — all leading recruiters last year — a few are looking to hire 18-100 per cent more MBAs this year, while the rest will hire at least as many as last year. This spells good news for IIMs, many of which had struggled to place the final lot of students last year due to weak hiring sentiments and large batch sizes.
