IIM Ahmedabad held the second cluster of its summer placement process for the PGP Class of 2028 on 27 October, with recruiters from nine industry cohorts offering 75-plus roles. The placement was conducted in a hybrid format, with participation from conglomerates, consumer goods, financial services, pharmaceuticals, retail and other sectors. New additions this year included a fashion cohort represented by Raymond and a real estate cohort featuring Eden Landmarks and Experion Developers.

The first cluster was held on 23 October, offering over 85 roles in consulting, investment banking, financial advisory and private equity. Cluster 3 is scheduled for 30 October.
Both outlets report the same facts from IIM Ahmedabad's official announcement: 75-plus roles were offered across nine cohorts in Cluster 2, held on 27 October, with Cluster 3 on 30 October. India Today leads with the broader recruitment range and names more example firms in each cohort, giving a data-heavy, detail-first framing. Times Now leads with the exact role count in its headline, putting the figure forward and then listing recruiters. Neither outlet adds external commentary, criticises the process, or frames the numbers in any evaluative way. The uniform coverage is straight institutional reporting. The concrete next step named by both is Cluster 3 on 30 October.
