A lot of aspirants raise concerns about their academic scores when they talk to me about their B-School aspirations. And their concerns are well founded. Everyone including the professors know and agree that academic scores are not an indicator of someone's capabilities. But academic consistency is a simple filter that many companies use to evaluate candidates. How do you counter this then?
The IIM Bangalore Final Placements 2019 report has been released by the institute! A total of 409 PGP students of the Class of 2019 participated in the Final Placements process at IIM Bangalore.
Recently, we released the list of the Top-45 Most Desirable Business Schools in 2019, with the top-5 spots being occupied by IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Calcutta, IIM Bangalore, FMS Delhi and XLRI Jamshedpur, in that order. The rankings were compiled on the basis of responses gathered from hundreds of MBA aspirants who ranked B-schools based on their perception of the B-school's brand. The B-schools in the report were spread out across the length and breadth of India - from Tiruchirappalli in the South to Mohali in the North, and Ahmedabad in the West to Shillong in the East.
Congratulations to the people who have made it this time! To the people who have had a heartbreak, all I can say is "Do not give up."
The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), since 2016, has undertaken a project of establishing rankings for educational institutes in India under the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) at the graduation and post-graduation level, including management institutes. Recently, the NIRF MBA Rankings 2019 have also been released by the MHRD.
If you ask any B-school aspirant, what he would never want to do in his life, he would probably say ‘sit for placements.’ The placement season is extremely hectic and mind-numbing. If not anything else, it will ground you and make you realise the level of competition you are facing!
Barely 3 months into your B-school, Summer Placements come knocking at the door - the first big opportunity for any B-school student to get closer to the business world. Nestlé, the FMCG giant, is amongst the most favoured organisations that B-school students aspire for their Summers Placements. The company each year selects from the top talent at B-schools for its prestigious summer internship programme. The internships are offered in the functions of Marketing, Human Resources, and Supply Chain. Given its vast presence across all corners of the country, Nestlé has also launched its all Sales internship programme at select campuses in the last few years.
A B-school has many activities and experiences on the professional front apart from the academics, placements and case competitions. And like in all of these fields, competition is intense everywhere. It is no different when it comes to the year-end awards given by the institute. Apart from the awards given for brilliant academic performance, there are a few given for extracurricular achievements and leadership abilities. A rigorous process is followed, which includes nominations from the student community, followed by them voting for the selected nominations. The winning students are then felicitated by the institute during convocation.
