Quality roles, strong industry outcomes and a placement process built on consistent career preparation.

PGDM Overview
Placement Highlights

The renowned Praxis Placement Program is committed to creating quality placement opportunities for its students. We believe that placements are more a fall-out of doing the right things rather than an isolated exercise.

This is well reflected in the final placements for the Class of 2026 where Praxites were able to win exciting profiles in reputed organizations across a multitude of industries and sectors.

Placement Process & Policy

How is the placement process structured and governed?
Placements are handled by the Placement Committee, comprising 2 staff members and 12–20 student members drawn from both PGDM batches. The committee is headed by a chairperson, reports to the Founder-Director, and liaisons between recruiters and students.
What is Praxis's "one offer" policy?
Praxis follows a one-offer policy: once an organization confirms a student's selection, that student is taken out of all other placement processes and deemed placed. Students cannot withdraw from an organization once they've applied to it, under any circumstances.
When does the placement season start and end?
Placement activities run from November to March each year. "Day Zero" — the final-year placement kickoff — starts in November, with campus placements beginning as early as 5:00 AM and typically seeing 20+ organizations participate. Campus recruitment for final placements concludes by March 31st.
What are the eligibility requirements for final placements?
  • No pending fees
  • No academic backlogs at the time of application
  • Completed the Summer Internship Program (SIP) and other academic requirements
  • A minimum CQPI score of 4.0 out of 8
What documentation/registration is required before the placement cycle?
Students must complete enrolment before the placement cycle starts, get their Superset profile verified by Placement Coordinators, and ensure all documents (scorecards, ID proof, relevant certificates) are updated in Superset.
Can students apply to companies on their own, outside the campus process?
Yes, students may apply to organizations independently but must inform Placement Coordinators by email upon receiving an off-campus offer. If the same organization later visits campus, the student must disclose their prior application to the Placement Committee. Students are not permitted to contact a visiting company directly without the Placement Committee's permission.
What happens if a student misses a step in the recruitment process?
The student will be debarred from 5 organizations they were otherwise eligible for.
Can students negotiate salary during interviews?
No — students are not allowed to negotiate salary with a recruiting executive unless the company's announcement explicitly states the salary is negotiable.
Is there a dress code of conduct expectation during placement interviews?
Yes — students must wear formal attire and follow interview-room decorum. Any misbehaviour during interviews can result in the student being signed out of the placement process entirely.
Can the interview/selection process happen outside Kolkata?
Yes — the selection process may occur in any city or town as per the corporate's convenience, and students are expected to travel and make their own arrangements, with details shared in advance by the Placement Committee.
What happens once a student receives and accepts an offer?
The student is automatically signed out of all other placement processes and considered placed. Students may have multiple attempts (interviews) to secure their first job, but once an offer is accepted, they exit the process entirely.
Who is on the Placement & Corporate Relations Committee?
The committee includes a faculty member (Assistant Professor) and senior/junior student PlaceCom members from both PGDM batches. Around 6–10 students are selected each year from roughly 40% of the batch who apply for PlaceCom positions, after a rigorous interview process with senior PlaceCom members and the chairperson.

Placement Preparation

How does Praxis prepare students for placements?
  • 1-on-1 sessions: mock interviews, diagnostic interviews, resume discussions, PI-question prep from resumes, case interview practice, SIP Success coaching, and open “Expert Connect” mentoring sessions.
  • Group sessions: group discussion preparation and mock GDs, behavioral interview prep, case interview prep, and company/role-specific JD analysis.
  • Subscriptions & tools: access to an AI resume-building tool ("Resumes.Digital"), the CareerCarve content platform, and detailed role-analysis handbooks.
  • Webinars: sessions on career options and JD analysis for common MBA/PGDM roles.
What additional training and support does the Placement Cell provide?
Career counseling sessions by external experts (including alumni), mock group discussions, resume-writing and interview-skills workshops by industry experts, aptitude/logical reasoning/verbal training, and company-specific workshops for shortlisted students. Praxis also runs the Distinguished Speaker Series (DSS) and Industry Speaker Series (ISS).
Does the SIP factor into placement readiness?
Yes — students are paired with corporate professionals and faculty mentors throughout their SIP for continuous guidance. This helps with mid-course corrections, strengthens problem-solving and communication skills, and improves the chances of converting the internship into a Pre-Placement Offer (PPO).
