IIM Sirmaur Placement 2025: Highest Package, Average Package, Top Recruiters

The main reason for the difference in placements numbers of the New IIMs and the Baby IIMs is recognition in the industry. It's obvious that older and more established IIMs will have a better industry connection, better alumni strength and more experience in attracting quality roles. All these factors are important contributors in the placement of any college. If you look at the average salary stats for new IIMs, it was over 19 lacs for all 6 2nd generation IIMs and over 16 lacs for the baby IIMs for the batch of 2023. The difference is not that huge as such considering baby IIMs are just 5 years younger than 2nd generation IIMs. The gap is more evident in cases where one company is a loyal recruiter from new IIMs and has just started recruiting from baby IIMs. With time this difference will reduce as baby IIMs become more recognized in the industry. 

First of all, all the students will receive a mail on their official email ids provided by the institute from the Placement Committee about the arrival of a company. Each of these mails will have an eligibility criteria mentioned by the company, the CTC offered by the company, guidelines for the process to be followed as mentioned by the Placement Committee and a Google form to collect CVs and data asked by the company. The data is then sent to the HR who then replies with a list of the shortlisted candidates. These candidates receive another email on the same mail trail with a link to join a WhatsApp group maintained by the committee. Then, the company starts with its processes. Usually, the processes include a GD or an Assignment or a task mentioned by the company. Then, the candidates clearing the initial rounds appear for the final interview. The number of interviews also depends on the company itself. The selected candidates are then informed about their selection via a batch email. Some companies like Amazon, DE Shaw, etc also add an additional Aptitude round. Only the students clearing the cutoffs of the aptitude round are then called for further rounds. This practice of taking a written test is followed by almost all the good companies. Hence, it is advisable for the students to keep in touch with the basics of aptitude even after their CAT exam.

The companies coming to IIM Sirmaur usually don’t have any CGPA criteria. While some companies like HCL require a student to have a 60% criteria throughout their Academia including the first year of MBA, the number of these companies is very less. 1-2 companies like SAP labs, Lenskart, etc also ask the students to have a minimum of 7 CGPA in their first year. Hence, it is recommended that each student should at least maintain a CGPA criteria above 6. This will be enough for the students participating in the Final Placement Process.
