Hi,

The Cohort-based system is a longer placement process as compared to the previous 'Slot Zero' concept, but is significantly more advantageous.

Cohort is a phenomenon in which all the companies are divided into industry groups. These groups are known as cohorts. For eg. Consulting is a Cohort.

All companies belonging to a single cohort, come at the same day and start the process at the same time. There is no differentiation in terms of salary.

IIM-A shall also be launching an internally developed talent bouquet system as part of Cohort that allows interaction between the firms and students using networking tools such as chatting.

Hope it helps.
