Entire Batch of SJMSOM, IIT Bombay Handpicked by Corporate Bigwigs in Campus Placements "If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it." - William Arthur Ward It was with huge aplomb that the Shailesh J. Mehta School of Management, IIT Bombay, entering into the tenth year since its inception, started its placement process on January 5, 2006. True to the expectations, it was a huge success. The entire batch was handpicked by corporate bigwigs, offering positions across various functions. The outstanding success in placements has been the result of consistent focus of school on industry interaction and the enhanced course structure, which is in line with the Industry expectations. The school's growing reputation among corporate circles helped the placements to a smooth draw. A total of 52 companies gave 84 offers to the batch of 47 students resulting in an average of 1.79 offers per student. Regrettably, a number of companies had to be turned down, as there were no students left in the placement process. The synergistic interaction of the school with the industry along with a diverse work-experience of the students helped in making the first lateral placement process at the school an astounding success. Offers for lateral placements included top-notch profiles like International Sales, Risk Management and Brand Management. Companies like TSMG, E&Y, KPMG, Avlon Consulting, Accenture, Bristlecone, and Mindtree Consulting were in the fore-front in offering Consultancy positions. Infosys, IBM, MBT, Wipro, CSC, BirlaSoft, HCL Technologies, Honeywell, MAQ, Ramco, Polaris and many others dominated the Systems domain. Banking, Finance & Insurance majors like Citibank, HSBC, JPMC, Bank of America, Kotak Mahindra Bank & Life insurance, SBI, Standard Chartered and SBI Caps were major recruiters this time. Marketing, Operations and Strategy profiles were offered by companies like Marico, Oracle, Cadbury, ITC, Colgate-Palmolive, GE, Godrej, ICI, Whirlpool, Tata Motors, Times Group & RPG Group.
