Quick answer
IIM Ahmedabad reports 100% placement for the PGP Class of 2026. Consulting led, finance grew, and sectors such as fintech, healthcare and renewable energy added hiring, as reported. The source names no AI-specific trend, so we do not claim one.

What this means if you are preparing for CAT
- Consulting and finance still sit at the top at the top-ranked school. That is one college.
- The mix is widening into analytics, fintech and healthcare. A general MBA can reach these.
- A single school’s report is not a trend. Look at several colleges before you build a plan on it.
