KOLKATA: IIM Calcutta has reported 100% summer internship placements for the 63rd batch of its full-time, two-year MBA programme, the Class of 2028, according to The Indian Express. A total of 475 students secured internships through a process in which 156 companies made 546 offers. The reported average stipend reached ₹1.93 lakh per month, an institute record. These are internship stipends, not full-time graduate salaries, and the average is not a guarantee for any individual student.
Which career track interests you most from IIM Calcutta's summer placements?
Consulting accounted for 220 offers (40.29% of all offers). Recruiters named in this segment included Bain & Company, Boston Consulting Group, McKinsey & Company, Accenture Strategy and Kearney. Finance contributed 127 offers (23.26%), with named recruiters including Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Bank of America, HSBC and UBS. General management and marketing contributed another 158 offers (28.94%). Technology and product roles drew interest from Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Salesforce. The report said 51 recruiters participated for the first time and that the process concluded ahead of schedule during its third cluster.
Why it matters
These outcomes concern students who joined in 2026 and will graduate in 2028. Candidates sitting CAT 2026 will be seeking admission to a later MBA intake, so these figures do not describe their own results. Summer and final placements are also separate processes.
What to do now
Use these figures as context when comparing schools, not as predicted personal earnings. Keep the numbers distinct: 475 students placed, 546 offers and 156 recruiting companies measure different things. Treat ₹1.93 lakh as a monthly average internship stipend, not a two-month total or median. Check IIM Calcutta's admissions criteria independently and watch for the institute's full 63rd-batch placement report when it is published.
