Placements at Top Business Schools in India - Class of 2013 : The Real Story

Placements at Top Business Schools in India - Class of 2013 : The Real Story

We estimate that 6-8% of the students from across all the top business schools in India which are featured on this website will be left unplaced or will sign out of the placement process. The cut-off time we look at is the convocation ceremony season that begins this week and goes on till the 2nd/3rd week of April. We have arrived at this figure based on actual data from the ground. At least 4 Old IIMs had double-digit number of students still to be placed as on March 10, 2013 (PGP/PGDM). There is a top business school in South India with three-digit number of students still to be placed as on March 5, 2013. These are facts. Our estimate is based on actuals.

Interview with Rishub Jhunjhunwala - HKUST Alumnus and Associate Director, Standard Chartered Bank

Those of you who balk at doing a foreign MBA should meet Rishub Jhunjhunwala. This HKUST grad from the batch of 2012 is now Associate Director at Standard Chartered Bank, Mumbai. A dizzyingly fast rise, if you consider that he had just completed the BMS program from Jai Hind college in 2006. He is a great example of what a foreign MBA can do for you. It can open doors that remain locked for local MBA graduates. Of course, it is expensive, and it is not easy to get in, you need top notch credentials, and Rishub's CFA qualification and would have gone a long way in helping him stand out among the pool of applicants. Not everyone can complete their CFA before even applying to B school, but the broader lesson here is that if you have a career plan and execute accordingly, and if you are willing to spend a little bit extra, the rewards to a foreign MBA from a top B school can be fantastic. In our third article featuring HKUST, (read the introduction to HKUST here  and interview with executive director of the MBA program) we bring to you an interview with Rishub Jhunjhunwala.
