Everyone
enters college with one wish. Especially when it comes to post graduate diploma courses. They want to leave with the promise
of a pay-cheque in hand from a reputable company, the sweet smell of money and
the future it brings. Once you doff off those caps, the panic begins to set in.
“Who
will pick me? How do I prepare? What if I'm the only one who is left out?” are
questions every higher-ed student is haunted with.
Don't
you worry, demonetization proved to be a boon for a number of good b-schools
across India. For instance, placements at Vignana Jyothi Institute of Management,
Hyderabad is one to reckon with! Why and how?
Deloitte
swooped in and left its mark by hiring a big chunk of VJIM-ites as has been the
trend most of the years. Actually, getting to numbers, the UK based MNC took whopping
seventeen students. Following their suit, were the FMCG giants ITC, Marico,
Nestle, Godrej Consumer Products etc. FMCG companies who were reluctant to hire
last year lined up to recruit fresh management graduates in droves because the
alumni of VJIM, Hyderabad proved their mettle.
Housing
Finance companies were not hot ticket till recently but showed immense interest
in hiring owing to expectations from the market in the housing sector. HDFC,
which is the largest Home Loans company in India offered Rs. 7.50 lacs to
VJIM-ites.
The
other giants were Tech Mahindra, TIME Education, Conduira Online, ICICI Bank,
AutoRabit, Schindler, Fitch Ratings, which came in the fray and selected the
best of VJIM's latest batch. With the influx of these giants, the Placement
Cell’s motto at VJIM stayed intact 'no students gets left behind!'
Talking
about what further matters- the average salary so far touched Rs. 5.4 lacs per
annum with 80% median at Rs 5.0 lacs per annum. This, for a starter isn't just
a way to make ends meet, it makes them save enough to explore passions, travel
and buy the things they always wanted. Plus, motivate them to think of making
it bigger in coming days!
VJIM’s
celebrating its 25th year of operations. The B-school’s track record boasts of
successfully producing graduates who have been ready to smooth it out in the
real world. The school’s alums have been known for leaving their mark wherever
they went. Naturally, their performances have sent messages of delivery and
efficiency to other business schools.
FMCG companies,
Housing Finance firms and Credit Rating agencies hired their heart out of the
Class 2017. With all of this, VJIM has numerous reasons to celebrate the
on-going placement season- already! Let’s wait and watch how the number fares
at the end.
