VJIM, Hyderabad gets the placement season underway on a high note, several big name companies come calling already

Now there will be a new list of alum that will become glorious ambassadors for the institute. Some of them have made a dazzling start to their careers. Harjas Kour, PGDM Class of 2015 who got placed with Global Data in the office of Associate Analyst is one of them. She talks about her experience at VJIM when she says, “On my first day here, I was so nervous to introduce myself in front of 200 people. Today I laugh about it because I am confident and ready to take on all types of challenges. Classroom diversity to overall learning at the institute have groomed me into a professional who is ready to take up new challenges.”

Some of the highlights of the PGDM program at VJIM are: the model of POGIL (Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning), which encourages students to have a divergent and convergent thinking process; Socratic Method of teaching is also employed at the institute that aims to provide sectoral specialization in Business Analytics, Pharma, Banking, Insurance, Project / Construction Management besides subject specialization. Together, these practices help in creating a comprehensive learning experience for students.

But Prof. Rama Rao believes there is another important element that goes into preparing students for the placement process. “Summer Internship at VJIM is becoming more contributory to its placements through increased Pre Placement Offers year after year. We expect the same trend to continue this year too. Moreover it offers students the real life corporate experience, which prepares them for the industry and the challenges that lay ahead of them,” he explains.

With the results speed tracked, it’s not uncommon to see the payback period for students to be around one to one-and-half years. In fact, it is less than a year for some of them and that means the ROI factor that management students often think about is well looked after. But Somya Chhadha, who has been hired by Deloitte in the office of Independence, Compliance & Risk has the last word when she says, “I had no fixed goal in life but VJIM’s PGDM has turned me into a professional with clear cut objectives in head. It has given me the cutting edge advantage in the competitive job market today.” And if the initial placement results are to go by, then that will be the case for most of the students at the institute.
