Pre-Placement
Over a period of time pre placement talks have been a standard practice to facilitate the company-student interaction before final placement so as to minimize the 'profile mismatch' and subsequent 'attrition' of candidates at a later stage. In addition, we conduct Personality Development Programme (PDP) for all classes in which activities related placement like extempore; Mock Interviews, Technical Test, Aptitude test, latest trends etc. are organized.

Placement Procedure

A rigorous placement system is followed to ensure that there is a minimal mismatch between the candidates desired by the company and their subsequent availability. Accordingly following activities are undertaken:
• The placement Brochure is printed and mailed out to various organisations, along with a covering letter inviting them for campus interviews.

• Presentations are made by groups of students to prospective organisations in different cities.
• These are followed by visits of the Training and Placement Officer along with students for formally inviting companies for campus placement.

Lateral Placements

The lateral placement programme facilitates the interaction of recruiters and students with work experience and addresses the increasing needs of corporate for management students with prior work experience. The lateral placement programme at AIM aims to provide students an opportunity to get placed at a level commensurate with their work experience.
