Cognizant biggest recruiter at IIM-B

Our Bureau

Bangalore , March 16

COGNIZANT Technologies has been the biggest recruiter in the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore's (IIM-B) campus recruitment programme this year, notching up 24 of 180 students.

"They made 30 offers, but were accepted by 24 people and this is the first time that an IT company has made so many offers," said sources in the institute. This year's batch was snapped up in record time, according to the institute. In just two days, all the offers were made and accepted.

At the IIMs, `slot one' companies (chosen by the students) are given the first two days to conduct their placement process. This year, there were 14 companies that made 100 plus offers on day zero. These include Dresdner KW, Capital One, McKinsey Consultants, AT Kearney and British Petroleum. The `slot two' companies were P&G, HLL, ICICI, ABN Amro and Cognizant Technologies.

Officials, however, refused to reveal the average salary, as the details "are yet to be computed."
