The placement season for management students of 2016 Batch at VJIM, Hyderabad has begun on a rousing note. With 70% of students already placed at some of the top organizations in the country, things are on the right track for the institute, which has a consistent placement record over the years. If the initial developments are a marker for things to come, then the institute is bound to build on its solid placement season reputation.

VJIM, Hyderdabad has always attracted reputed names from different industries for campus placements.

It’s also interesting to note that many of the recruiters keep coming back to the institute to hire its industry ready students. It’s a fact evident from the letter of appreciation VJIM recently received from one of the recruiters, JARO Education. The leading name in the field had recruited Mr. Surya Deepak, a student of the institute in 2014, and was left impressed by his performance. It has encouraged the recruiter to continue its association with the institute, as mentioned in its letter.

The list of satisfied recruiters is endless and they are making their presence felt during the current placement season as well. Almost three-fourths of the students have already been placed and the institute expects to close placements by 31st March. The highest CTC received by a student so far is INR 5,45,000. The average CTC on the other hand is INR 4,35,000, which is heartening given the job market climate at the moment.

Prof. Ramarao, Placement Chairperson, VJIM, Hyderabad shed light on the trends noticed during the placement season so far when he said, “A lot of companies are zeroing in on their hiring plans this year. Hiring for marketing professionals is across industries with top names like Future Group, Decathlon, Kent RO, Asian Paints, Deloitte, Naukri etc. IT, BFSI and Retail industries on the other hand are the front runners in terms of head count.”

According to Prof. Ramarao, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Mahindra Finance, Tata Capital have all hired in big numbers. In fact, one of the startling aspects of the placement season is that Financial and Investment Research sector has hired many freshers.
