45% JBIMS
Students Bag Plum Job Offers from Dream Companies as PPOs/PPIs
The placement season at the
Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies is yet to begin. Yet more
than 45% of the batch can sit assured having already bagged plum job offers
from their dream companies, thanks to the growing trend of Pre-Placement
Offers (PPOs).
This year has seen a marked
increase in the pre-placement offers made by companies at JBIMS. As opposed
to 30% last year, 45% of the students have already received PPOs and PPIs
(pre-placement interviews) and the offers are still pouring in - a 50%
increase over last year.
A very significant feature of
this year's trend is that offers are pouring in from all sectors. Leading
FMCGs, Financial Institutions, Manufacturing companies and Consulting majors
have made offers to students who had interned at their companies during
their summer internships.
The FMCG sector was led by
HUL, Nestle, Dabur, L'Oreal, Perfetti, Britannia, etc., while leading
financial institutions like HSBC, Citibank, Kotak Mahindra, Axis Bank, SBI
Capital made their presence felt with PPIs and PPOs. The technology sector
was once again at the fore-front of PPOs with Cognizant Technology Services
and Wipro Technologies making attractive offers. Mindtree Consulting was one
of the consulting majors to make an offer.
"The overwhelming response
from corporates and their keenness to catch them before someone else does,
clearly reflects the superior competency levels of the current batch of
JBIMS and is a testament to the pedagogy of the institute," said Prof.
Stephen D'Silva, the Placement Co-ordinator at JBIMS.
"This is a win-win situation,
both for the companies and the students. The recruiters already know the
candidates and their calibre, while the student knows the work culture and
opportunities available for him in the company," said Kirang Tanna, a member
of the Placement Committee.
With more offers expected to
be announced, the scenario looks exciting and has set a precedent to the
upcoming Final Placement season in February 20.
