IIPM has had the highest no. of Placements in India for three consecutive years, 2008-2010.

All the eligible students who required placements got placed from the campus itself. It has been observed that more than 70% of each class usually accepts offers from companies that recruit on campus. Many students use IIPM resources to conduct networked job searches, targeting smaller companies, entrepreneurial ventures, and not-for-profit organisations.
The Institute’s Strategic Management Group (SMG) assists eligible students in securing suitable jobs/trimester projects. For this purpose, the office keeps effective contacts with firms all over India, as well as globally maintaining and performing liaison work between possible employers and the Institute’s students. Students must, however, note that the Institute is a place for serious academic pursuit and not an agency to provide employment. No fee is charged for the service and no binding obligation to find a job/trimester project for any student is accepted by the Institute. Attractive stipends/scholarships are paid to students during trimester projects. Depending on the recruitment policy of organisations, students are usually absorbed as Junior Executives in appropriate pay scales with allowances if their performance is found satisfactory during the period of trimester projects.
To be eligible for Trimester Project/Placement Service of the Institute, a student has to satisfy the following criteria:
(a) he/she has to secure an average of 50% marks; (b) he/she has to obtain 55% marks in oral as well as in written executive communication; (c) he/she has to pass 90% of the papers examined; (d) he/she has to clear all fees due to the Institute; (e) he/she has to attend 80% of all classes. Students failing to qualify for placement service/trimester projects or unsuccessful in obtaining trimester projects have to write project feasibility reports based on library research, market research and surveys.
Job & Career Opportunity
IIPM students complete the programme at a relatively younger age (21/23). After about 5/4 years’ experience as Executives, their gross salary compares well with students of the same age (26/27) coming out of other national Institutes, which select mostly engineering graduates, many of them having 2/3 years’ previous work experience. Students opting to become entrepreneurs afterwards are entitled to consultancy service of the Institute at a nominal cost throughout their active life.
No particular career path is typical for IIPM graduates, who can be found in every field, business function, and geographical location. IIPM alumni currently would be found in various Fortune 500 companies, as well as in organisations of all sizes.

IIPM alumni clubs are spread all over India, actively involved in various rural development and social upliftment programmes.
