Dear Recruiter,
Greetings from IIM Calcutta!
Welcome to the Placement process of Post Graduate Program for Executives (PGPEX), a one year full time General Management
Program for experienced executives offered by IIM Calcutta.
The PGPEX program aims to develop Management Talent for middle and senior level leadership positions in diverse industries.
We have been successful in that endeavor is borne out by the ready acceptance of our past 11 batches by the industry. The
students have been recruited by organizations from wide spectrum of industries ranging from Consultancy, Telecom, Projects,
IT, and ITES, Oil and Gas, and FMCG. In the past, students have been offered senior roles such asDirector, Level 5 Consultant,
Senior General Manager and so on. Our PGPEX alumni are our flag bearers who have made the programme more visible and
credible in the eyes of the outside world by their achievements in different areas they are contributing. Many of them are
already holding positions of leadership and prominence even though PGPEX is still relatively a young programme.
Since the modest begining in year 2006, we have come a long way to a stage where the world has started taking note of the
programme. We have started participating from year 2017 onwards in the annual FT MBA Global ranking. I am glad to share
that PGPEX programme ranking improved from being 95th in yr 2017 to 75th in yr 2018 in the global ranking list. We are also
proud of being the only institute in India to have triple -crown of global accreditation, and that is recognition of our PGPEX
programme as well.
It is our endeavor to keep on fine tuning the structure and content of the programme suiting to the needs of the business
environment. In recent years we have increased the number of experiential sessions, workshops, seminars, talks by senior
executives and so on. This year most of the students are involved in exciting live projectseither with start- up firms, associated
with IIMC Incubation Park, or mature firms cutting across industry spectrum. We offer a wide array of electives courses
numbering around 44 last year for students to choose from. The international immersion programme has been strengthened
by adding group project component this year.
The diversity in the batches has been increasing in the last couple of years and that is a positive sign of a maturing academic
programme. We have had in recent years students with background as diverse as lawyers, dentists, architects and defence,
apart from usual suspects- IT / ITES! This batch has students from Oil and Gas, Biopharmaceuticals, Defence, IT/ITES, Manufacturing,
automobile among others. The incoming batch has average GMAT score of 701 with highest being 750.I am confident that
after going through the profiles of these students you will be excited and eager to meet some of the students.
Warm Regards,

Prof. Amit Dhiman

 Placement Chairperson Speaks

Dear Recruiter,
Welcome to the placement process of IIMC’s PGPEX – 12th batch. This programme has shown steady growth. The programme
is now known in the industry for its prowess to change career paths. 16% of our graduates have been able to get CXO positions
within five years of graduation. Financial Times has ranked IIMC PGPEX #9 GLOBALLY for career progression in its 2018 survey.
PGPEX is now firmly established as the catapult that sends people to leadership roles. The real value of the programme
unleashes in about two years after hiring from campus. Our returning recruiters and the confidence of ex-students are important
differentiators for IIMC’s PGPEX programme that stands out for the talent scouting opportunities across a sea of MBA
programmes.
Compared to the competition, IIM Calcutta brings in academic rigor and focus on all-round development of leadership
capabilities. Our triple-crown accreditation and membership of CEMS speak highly of academic prowess and the programme
structure. Smaller class size allows students to create strong personal bonds and have close interactions. The effect of strong
interpersonal equations at mid-career stages augurs well for the graduates and their employers. In other words, the PGPEX
graduates of IIMC continue to thrive together in a competitive landscape. We are proud that the true potential of a tightly knit
business network is therefore unlocked by this programme.
The institute provides an intense learning atmosphere, global perspective through a fully sponsored immersion programme,
live projects, and continued interactions with industry leaders in formal and informal settings.
The current batch has 66 candidates. An average profile represents a 31 year old with GMAT score of 701 and 8.3 years of experience.
The participants come from diverse industry backgrounds across manufacturing, automotive, banking, consulting, Energy/O&G
etc., making the class interactions truly vivid and enriching even for faculty colleagues.
Every batch is unique in some ways. This particular batch stands out for its zeal, energy, and a desire to do greater things in
life. They have started initiatives that will fructify over the years to come. Such maturity, long term vision, and selfless acts are
increasingly rare even in academic institutions. I am happy to witness a confident cohort of leaders of tomorrow.
We value your association and your desire to connect with our campus. It would be our pleasure to help you scout the best
talent for your business needs.
Sincerely,

 About IIM Calcutta
The Indian Institute of Management Calcutta, or IIMC, was born out of a partnership between the industry and
academia, to pioneer management education and research in India. Established in 1961 by the Government of
India, in collaboration with Alfred P. Sloan School of Management (MIT), the Government of West Bengal, the Ford
Foundation and Indian industry, IIMC was the first of the prestigious Indian Institutes of Management. IIMC's rich
history of 50 years has seen it move from strength to strength, continually striving to establish new norms of
excellence, growing into an institution of global repute and a prominent member of the premier B-School
community in the Asia Pacific region. It has seen consistently high ratings in terms of recruiter perception and its
students have served as successful ambassadors in reputed firms across the world.
Set in a 135 acre picturesque campus on the outskirts of Calcutta, IIM Calcutta has always attracted the best of
students, faculty and industry partners. Over the years, the institute has evolved into a melting pot of academia,
industry & research. The campus is fully residential with state-of-the-art classrooms, seminar and conference
rooms and a 750-seat auditorium. The B. C. Roy Memorial Library is one of the largest in Asia and is recognized

Operations Management. The participants embrace the issues and concepts with rigor and
leverage their rich work experience for classroom learning. One of the high points of PGPEX

Global Exposure
International Immersion Program in Germany
Addressing the imperatives of globaliza-
tion, the 2-week International Immersion
Program at Mannheim Business School,
Germany, helped students gain deep
and holistic insights about European
economies. Classroom lectures by
esteemed professors and company visits
helped students to understand how the
‘Mittelstand’ and ‘Hidden Champion’
companies are driving Germany’s
eminence in Europe and the world. The
professors also explained the nuances
of ‘Brexit’ on the European Union and
how such events impact the business
dynamics. Students visited three
companies i.e. Hager, Kärcher and Kleemann, met respective firm leaders and uncovered how Industry 4.0 is changing the German
industry. During the industry visits, students not only learned about the culture, best practices and innovative problem-solving
approaches but also presented insights on how their businesses can further reap benefits from Digitalization, Customer Centricity
and Blue Ocean Strategy, which was greatly appreciated. The immersion program was very enriching and it added value to the
global and cross-cultural quotient of our future business leaders.

International Immersion Program in US

Twelve students from PGPEX visited Michael G Foster School of Business, University of Washington, Seattle, USA for a 2-week
International Immersion Program on “US Business Strategy & Entrepreneurship”. The program was designed to facilitate to the
participants the necessary insights and tools required to identify business opportunities, understand business drivers, develop
effective business strategies and effectively lead large multicultural teams. The pedagogy included case-based and experiential
learning followed by relevant and unique visits to Fortune 500 companies and exciting start-ups.
The academics included sessions by world-renowned faculty on identifying business opportunities, building and testing
business models, on venture financing, on growth and exit strategies for businesses, on Leadership and Decision-making, on
Analytics, Competition and IT Strategy, on US Corporate strategy, on Disruptive innovations and on Effective pitching.
The visits to PACCAR – a Fortune 500 company that manufacturers the best quality heavy-duty trucks in the world, to Uphill
Designs – an apparel start-up that has transitioned to a fashion firm, to Amazon’s state-of-art fulfilment centre that uses
advanced robotics and warehouse-
management systems powered by
high-tech data processing and to
Boeing – the pioneering air-plane
maker, were unforgettable experi-
ences for the students and gave them
unique perspectives on global
business strategies across multiple
industries and across a wide spectrum
of companies.
The group also had the opportunity
tonetwork with Technology Manage-
ment MBA students of Foster school
of Business and gained interesting
insights into the technology environ-
ment. In between the acade-mics and
visits, the students also had the
chance to explore the beautiful

PGPEX 13
 emerald city of Seattle along with its unique monuments and the natural wonders of the State of Washington. The students
also enhanced their personal experiences by creating life-long memories while indulging in mountain treks, sky-diving, whale-
watching and other cultural expeditions.
The program broadened the students perspectives and augmented their business skills that were honed during the regular
PGPEX program coursework at IIMC, thereby providing the students with a holistic learning experience necessary to straddle
global business leadership positions in the future.

International Immersion Program in UK

This year, 20 students from PGPEX visited Strathclyde Business School, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK for a 2-week
International Immersion Program. The program is designed to provide participants an opportunity to understand business
drivers in different economies, how various industries have evolved and the cultures in which these industries operate.
The program commenced with a workshop conducted by Prof. Ian Wooton of the Fraser of Allandar Institute, a leading
independent economic research institute focused on the Scottish economy, on Brexit and the trade challenges that lie ahead
for the UK in a post-Brexit world. During the two weeks at Strathclyde, students had the opportunity to interact with senior
professors from Strathclyde and discuss areas such as Strategy, Fintech, Risk Management, Digital Marketing, Supply chain
management, etc. Prof. Phil Taylor conducted an excellent session on the impact of automation on business services in a
global delivery setup where we discussed various service delivery models and the probable effect of automation on jobs not
only in India and UK but across the globe.
Visits to various businesses complemented the classroom sessions. Students had the opportunity to visit Scottish Power
headquarters to learn about the IT transformation the organization is going through. The group was treated to a boardroom
experience at the Royal Bank of Scotland headquarters in Edinburgh and discovered how the organization has evolved post
the 2008 economic crisis. The icing on the cake was a visit to Will Grant & Sons – the home of “Glenfiddich” - to nose the various
whiskeys and to see the bottling lines in operation.
The students also visited Technology and Innovation Centre of the University as well as the Strathclyde Enterprise Hub, where
they interacted with the budding entrepreneurs who shared new business ideas and sought insights from the participants
on how to build on their businesses. The group interacted with Strathclyde Alumni and Strathclyde Business Fellows during
the networking event to discuss the business environment in the UK. In between the study tours/visits, students also had the
chance to explore the culture and history of Scotland on their visit to the Edinburgh Festival and a day-tour of Loch Lomond,
Stirling Castle and Glengoyne Whisky Distillery.
The International Immersion in all proved to be a great learning experience, one that added new paradigms to the student’s
thought process and improved understanding of business operations in a global setting.

 Life @ IIMC
An MBA at IIM Calcutta is incomplete without the
true experience of the life at the sprawling green
campus of this esteemed institute. Students enjoy
the proximity to nature, yet are a part of the human
fervor and passion of various social clubs and
activities at the campus. Students get a chance to
pursue their interests in professional sports, music,
drama, photography and filmmaking. Regular events,
conferences, symposiums organized by the clubs,
not limited to just the campus but in the city of
Kolkata, the cultural capital of the East, enrich the
minds of the students.

Despite the day to day rigors of this one year programme,

PGPEX students participate whole heartedly in the
activities of the clubs and have been, over the years,
one of the major driving forces in organizing and hosting
various events. Apart from the clubs, the PGPEX students
are also an integral part of the institute’s Sports Fraternity
participating actively in Sporting events both off and
on campus.

44 IIM Calcutta
The facilities at MDC, for the students
who are living single on-campus,
provide state of the art modern
amenities and are probably one of the
best residential facilities at a
management school in the country.
Few students stay with their families
on campus in the family hostel. The
spouses are welcome in the social
events at campus and the kids find
ample space and natural playgrounds
to nurture their young minds at the
green campus. The family hostel
enriches the bond between not just
the fellow students but between their
family members.
