Diverse Profiles Offered Across All Functional Domains Highlight IIM-L Summer Placements

Marketing is another area that witnessed traditional giants either visiting the campus for the first time or offering new profiles. Procter & Gamble, that had offered internships in its Consumer Market Knowledge, Customer Business Development and Finance & Accounting divisions until last year, offered postings in its coveted Marketing department this year.

Hindustan Lever as well has been at the campus each year and offered projects pertaining to marketing and sales. Glaxo-Smithkline, Johnson & Johnson (Consumer), Alshaya, Astro-Ulsha group were some big names offering internships at the campus for the first time, while Coke, Pepsi, Nestle, Cadbury, Asian Paints, Marico, etc., clinched the pie of students interested in marketing. Here too, the diversity in the sectors available was huge - FMCG, retail, pharmaceutical, etc., to name a few.

"The mood is upbeat and one can sense victory and pride all over. All in all, this year has seen a dramatic transition in several ways - recruiters, profiles, stipends, and is thus a reflection of the true capabilities of the institute. With robust growth and an assured talent pool here, we only expect bigger surprises in the final placements due in March 2007 and a meteoric rise in summer placements in the following year." said Placement Cell spokesperson, Pravin Devanathan.
