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.
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.
At first glance, movies and MBAs seem to have little in common. Of course, MBA grads enjoy the movies like everyone else, but the rules, fundas and theories of the boardroom would hardly be expected to apply in Bollywood. Well, Khyati Madaan of IIM Indore proves this emphatically wrong.
Summer placements begin. A renowned FMCG powerhouse is one of the first companies to visit campus. Obviously, every dreamy-eyed management fuchcha /fuchchi has his/her eyes set on the “prize catch” – great company, great profile, worthy stipend; in short, a CV booster. And then follows the same process of burning the midnight oil, mugging up marketing fundas (the ‘one-night stand’ with Kotler!).
