Can a student at the IIM Raipur get a placement in Raipur or a nearby city?

Let me be honest, your chances of getting an offer from Raipur itself are very less. My stance can be proved through the following reasons 

• Raipur is not a very big city and does not have many top firms that will visit the IIM campus.
• In case a company does visit, you have to get shortlisted and give the interview on the same day. Without proper preparation, you might even flunk it.
• Even with the low chances a company does visit the campus, the chances of your second-year specialization matching with the specialization that particular company is looking for are rare.
• It was extremely difficult to get into an IIM after facing tough competition. In such a case you shouldn’t limit your chances to a single location only.

Broaden your options and trust me once out of IIM you will be brave enough to survive anywhere.
