Drawing Conclusions Post 2008 Global Economic Crisis | B-School Placements Post-COVID-19 Crisis
At most Indian b-schools, campus placements are conducted between December and April. However, due to the Coronavirus lockdown, many management institutes have either halted or left the placement process incomplete. A recent post by the Business Line revealed that a premier b-school like ISB has completed 96% of placements for the outgoing class of 2020 and are left with 36 students yet to be placed. The situation is similar for other top institutes as well. While some companies like PwC are resorting to Skype and Zoom for placement interviews, others have deferred the process till May. But this is the current situation - what about the future? What about b-school placement post-COVID-19 crisis. Will the Coronavirus crisis have an effect on b-school placements process for the batch of 2021 and 2022?

From SPJMIR Student To VP of Investment And Asset Management At Pandim Consultancy | Journey Of Prerna Lotlikar, CFA Certified and SPJIMR Finance Alumni
“During our placements, Investment Banking was the most preferred job and also the most lucrative one. I didn’t know much about IB and had an interest in an asset management kind of role. However, since most people wanted to get into IB, I thought I should try it too because if I don’t, I will be missing out on something. However, when I actually landed up interning in an investment banking job, I got to know the finer nuances and realised that this is not the kind of job that I really enjoyed and that's not something I would like to make a career in”, says Prerna Lotlikar, VP of Investments at Pandim Consultancy, CFA and SPJIMR Finance Alumni.
