Things will be taken a step further in what is the Silver Jubilee year for KIAMS. A series of management conclaves; a brainchild of Dr. C. N. Narayana, Principal Director, KIAMS and faculty members, will be held throughout the year. It has already held a successful conclave on the theme of ‘Attitude Skills and Knowledge (ASK) and employer’s expectations on skills & Employability’ in the presence of leading names from the industry and academia. Similar conclaves will follow in the near future.
Of course the backbone of the institute remains its highly decorated faculty team, many of whom have years of industry experience.
The institute helps create industry ready professionals who can rise up to the challenges they face in their professional lives. Hence the institute with its strong industry connections strives to offer internships with top rung organizations, in keeping with students’ interests. In the coming year, the institute intends to increase the internship period from two to four months in order to bring additional exposure to students.
Consistent efforts from the institute have borne results in the form of its placement record, which has remained prolific over the years. Some of the past recruiters from the institute include Hindustan Unilever Limited, Cit Bank, ICICI Securities, BNY Mellon, Crisil, Ashok Leyland, L & T Infotech ltd, Bajaj Capital etc. Last year too KIAMS had a strong placement season with more than 100 recruiters coming to campus. The highest salary drawn by a student was INR 8.50 lakhs, while INR 4.50 lakhs was the average salary.
Many of its alumni have gone on to held important positions in their organizations and become leaders in their own right. Some of the notable examples, who have scaled heights of success in different fields include Mr. Siddharth Sharma, Zonal Head – Marketing, North, IndusInd Bank, Mr. Vikash Kumar, AVP, Axis Bank Ltd, Kolkatta, Mr. Jacob Chandy, Principal Consultant, SAP UK Ltd., London and Mr. Mukunda Giri, Branch Head, Drishti Strategic Services Pvt. Ltd., Delhi.
Dr.C.N.Narayana, added further “while there might be B Schools that try to bulk up their placement figures to impress and woo students, KIAMS believes in complete transparency. Hence it was not surprising that the institute became one of the founding members of The Indian Placement Reporting Standards (IPRS) process. The IPRS process is driven to maintain comparability, uniformity and transparency as far as the placement process is concerned.”
Management students now have an opportunity to be a part of the institution with a brilliant record and strong ethical standards to boot.
