There are many reasons why IIMA alumni have had a great impact on the fortunes of many global and national corporate behemoths:

The fact that

• Less than .3% of its 100,000 applicants are admitted here
• The Economist ranks it ahead of Harvard as the world’s toughest B-school to get into
• In a lean year it still had as many international offers as the next three Indian B-schools taken together
• Some of the world’s leading Investment banks recruit nowhere else in India
• It has always been ranked amongst the best three schools in Asia Pacific

This has ensured that the Institute attracts the best talent from all disciplines and backgrounds. They come from the best engineering schools and liberal arts college in the country, and invariably have a history of professional or extra-curricular accomplishment in addition to an exceptional academic record.  

This in turn succeeds in attracting the best companies. IIMA remains the only B-school in India where Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Citigroup Asset Management and UBS Warburg come for summer and final recruitment.

IIMA alumni reads like the who’s who of the international corporate world - The Chief Economist of the IMF, the CEO of India’s largest private bank, the Global Head of fixed income research at Lehman, the MD of Credit Suisse First Boston, the CEO of India’s largest FMCG company, international management gurus -  all studied here.
