IIM-Calcutta allows deferred placements to students who are keen on entrepreneurship
IIM-Calcutta has introduced a deferred placement policy allowing MBA students to opt out of campus recruitment for one year to focus on entrepreneurial ventures. Students who participate in this initiative remain eligible to join the placement process the following year, providing a safety net for aspiring founders.
Why it matters
This policy lowers the risk for business students to pursue innovation and startups, potentially fostering a more robust entrepreneurial ecosystem within elite academic institutions.
The Indian Institute of Management-Calcutta on Saturday (June 13, 2026) allowed deferred placements to students who are keen on entrepreneurship. This new initiative will help MBA students get a chance to focus on their entrepreneurship journeys without completely losing the opportunity for job hunting.
