Let’s explore how IILM Lucknow grooms its students for professional success through one of the most dynamic placement support systems in the country.
Career Development Centre: Where Preparation Meets Opportunity
At the heart of IILM Lucknow’s placement excellence lies the Career Development Centre (CDC) — a dedicated unit focused on bridging the gap between academic learning and corporate expectations.
The CDC’s mission is clear: to prepare students with the right skills, mindset, and opportunities needed to launch a successful career. The team is comprised of trained professionals who work tirelessly to develop and nurture strong relationships with recruiters across industries, ensuring that students have access to a wide variety of roles and companies.
What sets CDC apart is its proactive approach to student development. It doesn’t just wait for companies to arrive — it prepares students thoroughly through:
- Skill enhancement sessions
- Mock interviews and group discussions
- Resume-building workshops
- Customised pre-placement talks before every campus drive
This comprehensive preparation ensures that IILM students are not just job seekers, but industry-ready professionals.

Each year, IILM Lucknow hosts more than 100 campus placement drives covering a wide range of sectors, including finance, marketing, operations, consulting, and technology. These drives are tailor-made for students of the Lucknow campus and are organised directly by the CDC team at IILM Lucknow.
From innovative start-ups to established corporates, the diversity of companies ensures that students with varied interests and career goals find the right fit. This not only boosts placement numbers but also provides students with a broader exposure to the industry landscape.
Centralised Placement Drives: National-Level Career Opportunities
In addition to campus-specific drives, IILM Lucknow students also benefit from Centralised Placement Drives conducted by the placement teams of IILM campuses across NCR (National Capital Region).
