The offer of new, diverse and interesting profiles by companies which were first time recruiters was received with great enthusiasm by the students. The entire summer placement process was wrapped up in just two days with almost all students ending up with the profiles of their choice. This was despite a 40% increase in the batch strength from the previous year. For a batch of 74 students, around 42 companies participated in the process, making it one of the highest company to student ratio across B-schools. The students were really spoilt for choices.

The entire summer placement process was a huge success and was greatly appreciated by all the recruiters. "Smooth process, we were very well taken care of!" said Ms. Persis Desai, Manager HR, L’Oreal. "We are very impressed with the quality of the students," said the recruitment team of P&G.

The summer placements process at SJMSOM can be best summarized by quoting Jack Nicklaus, "Achievement is largely the product of steadily raising one's levels of aspiration... and expectation."
