Consulting led the batch at 30%
Consulting accounted for 30% of offers, the largest sector share in this 2019 report. The next sector, Finance, sat at 21%, so the gap between first and second is 9 percentage points. If your target function sits outside this lead sector, treat the headline placement rate as a campus-wide figure rather than a guarantee for your preferred cohort.
Top two sectors took 51% of offers
Consulting and Finance together made up 51% of offers, a concentrated recruiter mix. Sales & Marketing was a distant third at 17%. Concentration is not automatically good or bad, but it does mean batch-level averages can mask thinner opportunity in secondary functions.
100% of the eligible batch placed
366 of 366 eligible students accepted offers through the campus process (100%). With essentially full participation in the reported pool, the next question is how those offers were distributed across sectors and pay bands rather than whether a seat converted.
