Financial Services Sector Shines Yet Again at FMS-Delhi Summer Placements

Financial Services Sector Shines Yet Again at FMS-Delhi Summer Placements

New entrants SAB Miller, Heinz, Frito Lays, Yahoo, Red Bull, Bacardi & MTV provided newer and exciting opportunities for the next-generation marketer. Tata Motors also added to the excitement by offering its niche International Marketing Profile on campus.

It wasn’t just the marketing profiles that got offered; for the first time advertising made its impact on FMS placements with advertising majors like FCB Ulka, JWT & Leo Burnett confirming participation.

Overall, 39% of the batch decided to test their marketing acumen in summers.

With a booming industry sector, huge stipends and multiple profiles on offer, IT companies made a collective pitch for the MBA students. Major firms like Microsoft, Cognizant, SAP, HP, IBM, Flextronics & Wipro offered attractive choices for the students.

The trend of companies picking up higher numbers from FMS for General Management & Consulting arena continued this year with Tata Administrative Services (TAS), a favorite across B-school campuses in India making 5 offers, out of which two are international. Others in the consulting domain included Avalon Consulting, Mindtree Consulting, IBM & Yahoo.

A new entrant in summers this year was Human Resources (HR) profile; an area that was not on the FMS radar during the Summer Placements last year. With HR profiles being offered by premier companies like Hewitt Associates, SAB Miller & Coca Cola, the size of the pie available for students has only increased.

Puru Gupta, Placement Secretary, MBA, FMS Delhi, says, "Not only have the number of profiles offered per company increased, but also the number of offers made has gone up exponentially; reinforcing the fact that FMSites demonstrate high competence across all functions & specializations."
