Dear Sir,
Re: Audit of Placement Report for 2023 placements of Post Graduate Programme in
Management (PGP)
We have audited the data related to remuneration, function & location as presented in the
Placement Report prepared by IIM Abmedabad for the final placement (based on the offers
received and accepted on campus) of the 2023 batch of Post Graduate Programme in
Management (PCI’) of Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA).
The preparation of the Placement Report is the responsibility of IIM Ahmedabad. Our
responsibility is to validate the information related to salary, function & location as provided in
the report with the relevant documentation and comment on the conformance of those with the
Indian Placement Reporting Standards (IPRS) Revision 2.2.
3. We have verified the information with respect to salary, function & location presented in
the report with the communication received by IIMA from the recruiters.
a. The information has been categorised as best as possible under different salary
heads as given in the IPRS Revision 2.2; where a break-up was not available, the
salary has been considered only as Maximum Earning Potential.

b. The data points mentioned under different salary heads are representative of
aggregate salary components offered to the candidates.
c. Stock Options (ESOPs) have been mentioned for twenty-three students with details
on the amount to be vested in the first year. Hence, the corresponding fixed
amount has been considered for the calculation of the ‘Maximum Earning
Potential’ (MEP). In absence of information on the vesting schedule for five
students, 10% of the ESOP value has been assumed to be vested in the first year of
employment.
d. Long-Term benefits (to be paid after twelve months) like ESOP5, retentio n bonus
and any other long-term benefit to be paid after the first year has not been
considered for the calculation of MEP.
e. We have considered the amount of gratuity in the calculation of MEP even though
it is payable after 5 years of continuous service as this amount was not separately
available for all the candidates.
4. The acceptance of offers and the number of students opting out of the placement process
has been established through written communication from those students.
a. Out of 389 students eligible for placements, 4 students opted out of the
placement process.
5. We have only audited the data related to salary, function & location in the placement
report and not the report’s overview section, which explains the placement process.
Best Regards,
Ritaban Basu

Overview
The placement process for the graduating batch of the Post Graduate Programme (PGP) in
Management at llM Ahmedabad was successfully completed within three clusters. The third and
final cluster was held on 20th February 2023. The placement process, with the concept of “Dream
Application”, allowed students to choose the sectors and functions of their choice for their final
placement. There were 106 dream applications during 2023 placement season. The successful
completion of the recruitment cycle for the batch of 385 students stands testament to the high
quality of students at the institute and the robust nature of the placement process that provides
adequate flexibility to both students and recruiters.
