Placements 2008 - Highlights
When It Rains, It Pours…
Nothing sums up the placements season at IMI Delhi better than this age-old idiom. The placements season began on a bright note as the ‘Batch of 2008’ returned from their summer placements with a record breaking number of PPOs (Pre-Placement Offers), including international PPOs from M.B. Holdings, Muscat. Some of the prominent domestic companies who offered PPOs were: Asian Paints, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, DSCL, Firstsource, Genpact, RPG Group, Tata Motors, Vedanta, etc, just to name a few. Interesting to note was that not only did the PPOs span multiple profiles and multiple sectors; they also included lateral level PPOs, most notably with the RPG group offering lateral positions in its corporate cadre at the regional manager level.
INTERNATIONAL PLACEMENTS
Jumbo Electronics from Dubai and MB Holding Company LLC from Oman participated in the final placement process. Jumbo Electronics recruited three students for their UAE operations at an INR equivalent package of 26 lakhs p.a. The profiles offered were across specializations and for their retail and distribution operations.
LATERAL PLACEMENTS
Taking into consideration the fact that close to 20 percent of the ‘Batch of 2008’ were eligible for lateral level placements, the second leg of the placements began with the lateral placement week. The laterals week took off with profiles that ranged from Project Finance, Risk Management, Corporate & Institutional Sales, Realty Consulting, SAP implementation, Business Transition & Solutions Design. The average package for the lateral candidates stood at INR 11l. p.a. and the largest recruiter was SBI Life picking 5 students across various verticals inducting them directly to middle management.
