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 2008.
