Strategic Shift in Placement Philosophy
Commenting on the evolving placement strategy, Ms. Shailaja Sharma, Head – Placements, said the institute consciously moved away from volume-driven formats to a cohort-based, role-aligned recruitment approach.
“We invited recruiters based on sectoral and functional alignment with student preferences. This year, we introduced the role competency framework to enable a seamless transition from hiring to high performance. The objective is to optimise three critical talent metrics for recruiters—Time to Recruit, Time to Deploy, and Time to Perform.”
Academic & Institutional Leadership Perspective
Dr. Barnali Chaklader, Dean – Academics and Programs, underlined the academic foundations supporting placement outcomes:
“Strong placements at IMT Ghaziabad are a natural outcome of rigorous academics, deep industry engagement, and the collective effort of our faculty and students. Our focus is on building the right skills, values, and confidence that organisations seek. Faculty-driven rigor, active alumni mentoring, and the institute’s legacy together create trust among recruiters. When these elements align with student commitment, strong placement outcomes follow organically.”
Dr. Poonam Garg, Chairperson – Placements, contextualised the results amid broader economic conditions:
“Amid a challenging macroeconomic environment, IMT’s interim placement progress reflects the institute’s legacy of academic excellence and its commitment to rigor, industry relevance, and responsible leadership. The continued confidence of our corporate partners reinforces our focus on developing future-ready professionals who create sustainable value and adapt to evolving business realities.”
BFSI Focus and Role Competency Integration
Highlighting the BFSI-specific approach, Prof. Harsimran Sandhu, Chairperson – PGDM BFS, noted:
“The Role Competency Framework bridges the gap between classroom learning and real-world BFSI roles. By rigorously mapping the PGDM BFS curriculum to industry-defined competencies, we ensure that students are job-ready from day one, aligning academic depth with market relevance.”
