AHMEDABAD: The third batch of the country's armed forces undergoing management course at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), here has achieved almost 100 per cent placement which was not the case with the first two batches.
The 66 officers, part of the six months management programme at the IIM-A here, they received 302 job offers, placement co-ordinator for the course Sanjay Srivastava told the media.
"Fifty-Eight officers have accepted the job offers while eight have decided not to accept the offers," Srivastava said, adding that the salary offered was between Rs 15 lakhs to Rs 32 lakhs per annum.
Officers of two earlier batches were not able to find 100 per cent placements as some them had to wait for four to six months to get a decent job after completion of their course at IIM-A, Srivastava added.
"The most refreshing thing about this year's batch is they have got job offers from varied sections as marketing and sales. Earlier, the armed forces officers used to get jobs in just administration and human resources sectors," retired Colonel Sujit Dutta said.
Dutta has accepted the offer of Vice-President marketing in Gujarat-based Sagar Group of Companies. "I was also offered an HR job. But I took up marketing as a challenge," he added.
Squadron leader Savita Singh has accepted the offer of general manager (operations) for Chennai based A-One Aviation Company for a salary of Rs 32 lakhs per annum.
