The final placement season of 2012 will be the big test for the IIMs and other top business schools in India. Let me list down the reasons below:
The final placement season of 2012 will be the big test for the IIMs and other top business schools in India. Let me list down the reasons below:
Unlike, IIM Bangalore, IIM Lucknow, IIM Kozhikode and FMS Delhi (click to see report) we could not convince JBIMS Mumbai to give us the placement information in the same format. While there are some impressive names there due to the rich legacy of JBIMS Mumbai, the report released by the placement committee makes it impossible to know which company recruited for which profiles. While ones like Accenture Business Consulting are very clear, for most others readers will have to use their own imagination to figure out.
There is a reason why one of the authors on this website somewhere mentioned that in India, it's still IIM ABC and the rest. Especially, when it comes to placements. Talks of a slowdown seem difficult to believe if one just glances through the kind of companies and the roles offered at IIM Bangalore for internships in the summer of 2012.
Unfortunately, we need to start this report with a very basic disclaimer : The below data has not been verified by XLRI Jamshedpur's Placement Committee. Despite, repeated emails and a few calls there was no response. Hence, there could be a lot of discrepancy in the data but we have tried our best.
This month, InsideIIM brings you the story of Vikas Sharma (XLRI - Business Management 2009), one of the founders of Parichay, an organization which aims at providing sustainable employment to the artisans in India. What started as an initiative mainly for the states of Jharkhand, West Bengal and Orissa, has now spread its arms to Assam as well.
As far as summer internship opportunities go, Faculty of Management Studies, Delhi is the place to be. Not only are there opportunities across different functions and sectors but also the relatively smaller batch size increases one's chances of being in some of the top companies in India and the world. FMS Delhi has had a terrific season and there are brilliant opportunities in every domain.
