XIMB churns out millionaires
Xuberance 2008, the Annual Campus Recruitment Program of Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (XIMB) was carried out amidst much enthusiasm. XIMB lived upto its record of excellent placements by placing both the PGDM and PGDM(RM) batches of the Class of 2008 in style on Day 1.
In the case of the PGDM batch, out of the more than 100 companies that had evinced interest to participate in the placement process, 75 were slotted out of which 62 companies were lucky enough to recruit before the end of the placement process. A total of 248 offers were made to a batch of 118 students which lead to an average of 2.1 offers per student. Along with the regular recruiters such as JP MorganChase, Olam International, ICICI Bank, TCS, Price WaterHouseCoopers and Marico, the campus saw a huge jump in the number of new recruiters with as many as 17 new companies visiting the campus for the first time. Among the new companies were Mediacom, HSBC Bank, Irevna, SEBI, Verizon, Aptivaa Consulting, Barclays Bank PLC, Vodafone, RPG, Glenmark Pharma, Deutsche Bank, Hindustan Times, Hewitt Associates, Deloitte Consulting and many more. The breadth of profiles offered to the students this year was astounding with profiles as diverse as Treasury Management, SCM consulting, Risk Management and Investment Banking, Wealth Management, Corporate Banking being on offer.
Finance proved to be the major draw this year with 35 % of the batch signing out with offers from Banks and other financial institutions. Among the many finance majors which visited the campus were Deutsche Bank, Barclays Bank PLC, HSBC, SEBI, Axis Bank, Irevna, ICICI Bank and SBI Caps. The highest offer went up to Rs.16.5 lpa, which was offered by JP Morgan Chase.
In the IT/ITES sector, apart from the regular recruiters like TCS, Wipro , Infosys, and Cognizant , this year saw the advent of several new recruiters like Verizon , Barclays Technology Services and WNS Global. The highest salary on offer was Rs.12 lpa.
The Marketing area saw new companies like Vodafone, RPG, Idea Cellular, Mediacom, HT Media and the Trident group apart from the FMCG regulars like Marico and Godrej. The highest salaries in the FMCG and Media sector were Rs. 10.5 lpa and Rs. 11.5 lpa respectively.
The HR and consulting scene looked bright with companies like Hewitt Associates, Delloite & Touche, Aptivaa Consulting sharing space alongside the regular recruiters like Ernst & Young, Tata Group HR, Grow Talent and PriceWaterHouse Coopers. The salaries in this area were as high as Rs. 13 lpa.
This year also saw a jump in the number of PPO/PPIs offers to 32 offers. There were a total of 4 international offers made and the highest offer of $85,000 was made by Olam International. The highest domestic offer of Rs. 16.5 lpa was made by JP Morgan Chase.

wow, neat placements. Now three little questions.
The guy/girl who got the top offer from JP at 16,
(i) Did he/she take up the offer?
(ii) What profile & which group was this profile for?
(iii) What was his workex profile like?
The answers to these will help us (all) a ton (or maybe a ton and a half).
Thanks and congrats guys! For VITS, maybe I'll see you here at BKC, Mumbai; I'm with il&fs, the next building :razz:
